Holiday Gift Guide 2011: Sweet Accessory Treats, from chocolates to cookies

One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is all the treats. Whether it’s homemade batches of grandma’s cookies or peppermint chocolates or a warm cup of hot cocoa with whipped cream, my sweet tooth is on hyper-drive for the entire month of December (ok, it started with Halloween). I receive sweet treats as holiday gifts and I enjoying giving them out as well.

If you’d like to give the perfect sweet for the gal who loves her accessories, I have found 9 of the best choices out there to surprise and delight your friends and loved ones. From chocolate shoes to handbag-shaped cookies, there is the perfect option for the sweet love in your life.



“Classic Satchel” Cheesecake | Price is $235 via Neiman Marcus
As a major fan of cheesecake, this satchel shaped cheesecake has me drooling. Made of milk toffee cheesecake on a cookie crust decorated with imported Belgian chocolate paper with basketweave detail, this cake should serve 15-18 (or if it came to my house, it would serve just one).


Eleni’s December 25th Cookies | Price is $65 via Saks
If you are simply looking for Christmas cookies to send, I love this option from Eleni’s. Christmas trees, reindeer, candy canes, snowmen, and Santa will put anyone in a festive mood.


Chocolate Handbags | Price is $52 via Neiman Marcus
This is my favorite find, delicious bite-sized chocolates with a painted finishes that will be an instant hit. All of the chocolates are very Chanel-esque.


Gaga’s Workshop x Barneys NY Gaga Chocolate Shoe | Price is $58 via Barneys
Lady Gaga made Alexander McQueen’s monster shoe popular, and now Barneys makes it edible just in time for the holidays. If you know a Gaga fangirl with a sweet tooth, this chocolate shoe may be what you are looking for.


Eleni’s Designer Handbag Cookies | Price is $75 via Eleni’s
Eleni’s gets three spots on our roundup and each spot is well-deserved. A tasty sugar cookie that is hand-iced in the shape of handbags will win over any handbag lover’s heart. Also, for those of you with food allergies, this is from a no-nuts facility!


Gayle’s Chocolates High-Heel Chocolate Shoe | Price is $45 via Saks
For the ultimate SOLEsister, these purple high-heel pumps look as delicious as they probably taste. An extra plus is they come in a clear reusable purse container.


SweetBliss Polka Dot Chocolate Purse & Pump | Price is $52 via Saks
This is one of my favorite finds, and the chocolate purse and pump are both entirely fashionable with their polka dot patterns.


MarieBelle Vanity Purse Chocolates | Price is $75 via Saks
I’m a sucker for MarieBelle chocolates and these dark chocolate ganaches both look beautiful and melt in your mouth.


Eleni’s Festival of Lights Cookies | Price is $75 via Eleni’s
We can’t leave out all of our friends celebrating Hanukkah! Opt for the Festival of Lights cookies for a nice Hanukkah touch to your celebrations.

Love all these chocolate goodies! I bet even the fashionista who’s on a diet would scream for one of these. My pick is the “Classic Satchel” Cheesecake……no bite is too big!

Alexandra Davidoff

And I forgot to mention……no matter how many bites you take, you’ll never have enough!

Wow so pretty! sweets that are fab! the 2 things i love combined!

All are so adorable that it would be almost a shame to eat them. My fav has got to be the MarieBelle Vanity Purse Chocolates – so compact yet so tidy and pretty :))

Dawne

I wouldn’t know whether to eat these…or have them preserved as art!

Alexandra

I love Eleni’s cookies. And the no-nuts facility is a plus – it’s always a bummer when I can’t eat something delicious because of my allergy.

These are really cute, but I wouldn’t spend so much on a dessert. Well- maybe the candy. XD

If only our runway divas held these beauties posing above in as high a regard as their financially naughty counterparts, Vogue Italia might have been able to sleep easier at night…
