Love Bugs
According to European folklore, ladybugs bring good luck - especially in matters of the heart. If a man and woman catch sight of a ladybug
together, they're destined for true love. Six dark chocolate "ladybug" truffles can be shipped in a wooden gift box for your sweetheart, wedding showers or anniversaries.

Heart Pounder
Make your heart race faster by slipping behind the wheel of a Dodge Viper SRT10. Under its sloping hand-built hood lurks
an 8.6-liter, 600-horsepower engine that catapults the 2008 Viper from zero-to 202 miles per hour. Choose from red, black, or "snakeskin" green.
