Looking for the ultimate chocolate experience? Try the Bespoke Chocolate Service from Cocoa Locoa. The service starts with a personalized consultation that is designed to determine your exact taste and style preferences, both of which will be taken into account when the company's chocolate artisan makes a collection of chocolates custom-suited to your palate. The price for a package of four chocolates is $250, or $450 for a package of eight unique formulations. Be sure to take a look at the standard flavors that they offer, which include salted honey caramel, creme brulee, blood orange + grapefruit and Mayan spice, since if they already match your flavor preferences, you could save quite a bit by ordering the $18, 9-piece classic collection.

Paperweights are, unless you work in a wind-tunnel, essentially useless objects in terms of functionality. This is all the more reason that their selection should be based entirely on appearance; their real function is as a sort of desktop art object. The customizable paperweights from iomoi stationery provide you with a huge array of designs to choose from and can be personalized with initials or a few select words. And how can you resist a paperweight with a cute cupcake on it? Price: $65 for round weights, $40 for oval.

These are not your grandmother's jigsaw puzzles, either in materials or design. Stave Wooden Puzzles are carefully handcrafted - cut, sanded and polished - by a master craftsman. They have a huge inventory of images in stock, but can also make custom puzzles out of photographs, for example, so the piece will really have sentimental value on top of simply being a work of art. Prices range from about $200 to thousands, depending on the level of customization, the number of pieces and the size of the puzzle. They also carry several designs that are ready for immediate shipment if you need a gift right away. The Bubbles Puzzle, pictured, is priced at $417 online.

It never hurts to add a personalized touch to favorite luxury items - or to any item at all, for that matter - and the designers at Coach know this. This fall, they have introduced a service with their fall Signature Stripe collection that will allow you to add your own "signature" to the bag in the form of a monogram with one, two or three letters. The bags all have Coach's signature logo fabric, lether trim and a bold accent stripe. The monogramming is only $25, and the bags range in price from $58 for a wristlet to $400 for a large tote. All of the custom bags can be ordered online or in stores.

The Maltron keyboard is perhaps the most expensive keyboards we've seen to date, and with good reason. These keyboards are handmade and designed to be highly efficient. A traditional keyboard, for example, generally only makes use of 8 of the 10 fingers, with thumbs occasionally being employed to work the space bar and, depending on the size of your keyboard, one or both of the pinkies may be infrequently utilized, as well. This design requires the use of all 10 fingers, theoretically improving your overall efficiency by as much as 20% - once you take the time to adjust to it, of course. The real reason why the keyboard is so expensive is the type of key switches that it uses: Cherry MX switches. Considered to be the best in the industry, they should last up to 50 million keystrokes and require far less force to work than ordinary computer keys, saving wear on they keyboard and on the hands of the typist. Price: $490.

We've already seen LG's designer washing machines, but who knew that they made designer air conditioners, too? TheDesignWeblog first spotted these and they're even cooler - literally - than the washing machines. The Art Cool Air Conditioning units offer changeable panels, in addition to plain designs and the Van Gogh pictured here, that allow you to customize the appliance. The air conditioners are slim, wall mounted and release air through mini-slits, not sending out a jet of freezing wind into the room and eliminating hot and cold spots while keeping things cool. The design makes it one of the quietest air conditioners in the world. It includes an air-purification system, timer, temperature display and a noncooling dehumidification mode.  The units are priced around $1500, but the price varies by specific model, so it's best to track down a dealer if you're interested.

I've seen plenty of cakes and cookies that get pictures printed onto edible icing. They're a huge hit at birthday parties, weddings, etc. I've never seen the technique used on doggie treats before, but that is precisely what they do at My Dog's Bakery. Doggie PhotoTreats are customized with the name and photo of your dog on each biscuit. They come in Salmon and Roast Beef & Potato flavors, made using all-natural ingredients and the piped-on frosting includes carob, not chocolate. The pricing is $4 for one, $10 for 3 and $16 for 6. The bakery also mentions on their website that they plan to introduce doggie-friendly cakes.

Of course, the company says that the art is for your dog, but I think we can all agree that it's really for the owner. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but Fido cares more about the taste of the cookies than what they look like.

Le Bijou's hand-painted sinks can add a new level of personalization to your bathroom. Sinks that feature unusual designs, exotic shapes or are finished in luxury materials, like marble or gold, can give you an elegant look but remain impersonal because they only make a vague statement about who you are. Le Bijou's sinks have designs that range from understated sketches to bold nautical scenes. There is a tropical monkey, a starscape that would be perfect for a child's room, and soft vineyard patterns. There is even a Seabiscuit sink. The designs can all be customized to suit your personality or tastes and the company offers hand-painted tubs to match.
