Astier Villatte snoopy candle lid

Of all the stupid things I find to *want* during my travels through the perfume internet, this might be one of the stupidest, but that does not stop me from wanting it. Yes, it’s a ceramic Snoopy candle lid to fit an Astier de Villatte candle, and I actually have an Astier de Villatte candle — coincidence? I think not. Anyway, it costs €97 (at Nose in France; candle sold separately!) and I won’t be getting one.

Theo Salted Black Licorice

This Salted Black Licorice 70% Dark Chocolate bar is one of two flavors the Theo brand did for Valentine's Day 2017 (the other is My Cherry Baby, which is a milk chocolate bar with dried cherries).

I am also thinking about these Rose Cardamom Espresso Chocolate Bars, but they're pretty expensive. If you're thinking about chocolate, do tell us all about it.
