I don't even like chocolate that much (my weakness is chips), but Lindt chocolate is like little clouds of yum yums in your mouth. I like their white chocolate bar with coconut. Last time I was in Toronto I went to a chocolate factory in the distillery district. Oh man they had some good stuff in there.

One time for a holiday party
I filled a giant brandy snifter with Lindt truffles in all the flavors I could buy
At the end of the party there were 3 chocolates left in the snifter and nobody touched my jello and Swedish fish aquarium [emoji43]
Jello and Swedish Fish aquarium? OMG. Dying! I need to see this. Better yet, I need to make this. Of course I will claim it as my own original idea. No hard feelings, okay? 
Get a fish bowl like for a gold fish
Put grapes in the bottom of the bowl
I used black grapes so they would look like rocks
Make blue jello
After the jello sets chunk it up so it looks like water
Insert toothpick into Swedish fish and stick the fish into the grapes
I used bamboo skewers so I could get different heights on the fish
The first time I made this was for one of my kids birthday parties
[emoji3] the kids were afraid to eat the fish lol until I convinced them they were candy

Von you can google jello Swedish fish aquarium
You can also make them individual in little fish bowls like they keep beta fish in
It is a novel thing for kids parties or family gatherings that of course include the kiddies

I did
I googled Swedish fish aquarium and I have to say I'm a little disappointed that I can't take credit for this idea. Dammit! 
I'll have to steal some other obscure idea I guess.
I just googled it too. Where have I been...never heard of Swedish fish aquariums until this thread. I'm pretty much done with shopping, the DH and I don't exchange big things. And we have cut back a lot This year he is sending me to see the Klezmatics 30 anniversary tour on Sunday evening while he works from home.
Happy Holidays everyone! I'm not at all ready but I never am, and over the years have just gotten used to the feeling of being completely out of control at this point, but I know somehow it will all come together at the last moment!
I'm just popping in to get some feedback from anyone who has seen Delft IRL and can weigh in on how it would compare to both Oceano and Empire. Is it too similar to either or both to make it hard to justify having the same style (now what would that be...? ) in Delft, in addition to having it in both Oceano and Empire? Some photos I see of Delft seem to make it look quite turquoise and therefore not at all close to those two blues, whereas others make it look quite blue and therefore quite similar to either or both. A comparison shot would be ideal - although I know that is a lot to hope for!

Re the holidays: I have one gift card left and then I am done. I've wrapped the gifts for the in-laws and will tackle friends and my family Saturday afternoon. Sunday is card day. Things get getting sent and distributed on Monday.
As I read what I wrote it sounds like it might seem like a chore. Actually, I really enjoy it.
Delft?! I'm not aware of this shade for resort or SS2017. There's Air Force and Brighton but that's all I've seen.
Edited to add: Ah ha! I just searched and It's a color from 2010, correct? Wish I could help.

Someone is channeling Chewbacca while he sleeps. He was 26 lbs last January and is now close to 60 lbs. And he snores. 
Luckily, he's very good natured.

He is just too cute for words! [emoji240][emoji251]
A little blurry, but six-month-old Rhyn knows right where to go when he comes in - he's still got snow on his face here! Zoey wasn't happy about his cold butt...
Rhyn is now almost 43 pounds, and stockier/bigger-a-little-bit-all-around than Zoey. He is a bull in a china closet; definitely a boy dog!
