1 lb Part Chocolate Assortment
************************************************************************************************************************
Dear Friends of Anna's,
A few years ago, I started corresponding with Heidi Durrow as she navigated through the final touches of what has become her first highly acclaimed novel. My daughter and I had the pleasure of meeting her for her book signing at Keplers in Menlo Park where she gave my daughter her "blue bottle" as a special gift. Everyone should have a "blue bottle" in their lives..... read more about it in Heidi's book, "The Girl Who Fell From the Sky".
We are pleased to honor Heidi's success by naming her favorite Anna's gift selection after her. The Heidi W. Durrow Special Selection is an eye catching and fun way to brighten someone's day. Whether your celebrating a birthday, special milestone or just want them to know your're thinking of them, they'll know you put extra thought into your gift when they receive this special gift. Filled with the perfect combination of Anna's Classic Original and 15 mouth watering chocolate enrobed cookies this special presentation is carefully finished withan elegant, hand tied bow. It's like sending them hugs in a box.
Sincerely,
Claire of Anna's
