Like Art for Chocolate combines a visual art with a culinary art, presenting 16 pieces of high end chocolate truffles in a custom-crafted wood box. Each of the aspen boxes features an original oil painting on the lid, capturing a scene of natural beauty, done by artist M. Alexis Pichardo. The truffles are made by Albert Lauber, owner of Neuchatel Chocolates. Like Art for Chocolate is limited to 100 pieces, all of which were released specifically for Mother's Day, so they won't be available for long, though the painting is a piece of the gift that will certainly last. Each gift will be shipped in a micro-suede gift pouch and packed with artist profiles and a gift card. Price: $248.
