Just by looking at this picture here, what do you think Le Whif is? Perfume? Deodorant? A smoking inhibitor? Nope. Le Whif is a chocolate inhaler. It contains little particles of chocolate powder that you inhale, leaving you with a brief but supposedly yummy taste of chocolate in your mouth.

Part of the reason for this is to curb your calorie intake. Instead of eating a whole Snickers bar, you can take a couple puffs of Le Whif and intake less than 1 calorie. But I'm sorry, if I have a craving for chocolate, I want to EAT chocolate. I don't think a puff of chocolate mist is going to satiate me, you know?

Plus, these little buggers aren't cheap. Currently only available from a European site (as far as I know), they cost a little over $14 for a pack of six. And each Le Whif only contains four puffs, or one measly calorie of chocolate.

Sidenote: Why would you name your product Le Whif? I feel like Pepe Le Pew should be the spokesman.

Have you ever had drinking chocolate? I'm not talking about what most Americans think of as hot chocolate, which is usually a powdered cocoa mix that you stir into hot water or milk. I'm talking real drinking chocolate, actual morsels of chocolate that you melt into hot milk to create a rich, smooth, velvety elixir. I drank it every morning when I visited Spain, and it was pure heaven...

Anyway, before I start salivating all over my keyboard, let's get back to the subject of this post - these adorable Cioccolato Mugs. With their unique European style, you can pretend you're enjoying gourmet drinking chocolate outside a Parisian or Italian cafe (even if you're actually sipping the powdered stuff at your kitchen counter). Plus, they come in this super chic hatbox, making them a great gift!

Those aren't cookies. Those are iPod Shuffles disguised as those delicious chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla wafer cookies I so loved as a child. Don't they look awesome?!

But you know, it's almost cruel how realistic they look, isn't it? If I had an iPod Shuffle 3G, and it had one of these cases on it (preferably chocolate or strawberry), I would seriously be trying to take a bite out of it all the time. And I'd be severely disappointed when I tasted silicone and metal instead of yummy wafer-ness. Oh well, such is life.

This 1950s Candy Gift Box would be an awesome gift for any baby boomer you know with a sweet tooth. It features tons of different candies from the 50s. Some of them I've heard of and are still around today - Chuckles, Mike & Ike's, Sugar Daddy Pops. Others...sound a little interesting. Violet or teaberry gum, anyone?

Tons of other candy boxes are available, including decade-themed ones from the 40s to the 90s. There's even a "vintage" one with candies from the 1800s (ever had a Squirrel Nut Zipper?). It's a delicious way to relive your childhood and maybe even experience the childhoods of your parents or grandparents!

I know that baking enthusiasts just love all of the different pans and molds out there, such as the Brownie Pop Mold. It's neat to make baked goods in cool shapes. However, I don't think a Brownie Bite on a stick is a cool shape. It's actually kind of weird looking, like a giant brown gumdrop.

Do you want to see a really cool brownie pan? Check out the Edge Brownie Pan. This odd looking brownie pan makes normal looking brownies, each with two or more edges.

We all probably know someone who is a total chocolate freak who would use the lame term "chocoholic" to describe herself or himself. Some people take their love of chocolate past simple indulgence and decide to make it into every shape imaginable or by trying to put it on or in everything. What do we end up with? A collection of weird chocolate.
