Better late than never.

Ok, well so much for this being a MONTHLY blog, things have been going crazy round the Freedom Gifts office.
Easter is nearly here and the team have been busy organising chocolates galore to make this year one out of the box. As well as the Chocolaty favourite Devonport, Freedom as a mouth-watering range from Donovans and the new player this year The Seriously Good Chocolate Company. Ironically the Seriously Good Chocolate Company makes seriously good chocolate...seriously. One of the teams favourite picks for the big weekend this year is The Story of Wine as told by Chocolate, an amazingly unique box of chocolate containing some of the most famous wines in New Zealand!Allan Scott, Two Paddocks, Silene, Mud House, Church Road, Lindauer, Gibbston Valley and Seifried. These wine infused chocolate truffles are created with the finest natural ingredients, with time, with individual care and the passion!
As well as this whole new range of chocolate keep an eye out for a whole new line of children and Baby gear, after we went to the Gifts Fair a few weeks back and met some new companies with some fresh and funky new kids gear, we have found some things which we couldn't resist to grab up and pass on to you.
As well as all this happening at Freedom, our resident Bar Fly, The Bar Guy Todd Fletcher, has been busy "working" designing new and wonderful cocktails for Mindfood Magazine. You can check out his Cocktail of the Week to please your palate. Keep and eye out for his Dessert Cocktail recipes being posted over the next month, including a Lemon Meringue, Apple Pie and Black Forrest cocktails, a flavour sensation not to be missed.
That's all for now, don't forget Mothers Day coming up in May and we look forward to hearing from you all soon.
Till next time, Cheers

Todd 'The Bar Guy' Fletcher.
