Max's Chocolate Baskets
By Ellen Hertz
While we think our book is the best jewelry industry client gift ever made (yeah, we're biased), this basket of exotic chocolate goodies has got to be the next best thing. Ellen Hertz, the owner of Max's, a unique shop in Minneapolis that features the somewhat unlikely combination of jewelry, decorative home goods and exceptional chocolate confections, provides a basket-of-chocolate gift service. Pictured here is the standard size offering for $100 plus an $8 UPS packaging fee and the cost of shipping (usually $9-$14). JRB Inner Circle members (formerly known as JRB Network members) get 20% off ). There's some pretty exotic stuff here; refer to the list below for specifics. Ellen says she can modify the contents to meet specific needs such as all milk chocolate, no nuts, lower cost, etc. Ellen can't guarantee that she will always be able to get the exact products listed below and may have to make substitutions. Not to worry, though. Knowing Ellen's exquisite taste -- she won a Top Retailer Award from Niche magazine last year -- even the substitutions will be spectacular.
