Who would have guessed just up Larchmont Blvd you would find Kim’s Chocolates, which house the best chocolate caramels in the west. KC Chocolatier are experts in indulgent Belgium chocolate, known for their pure ingredients and eco friendly manufacturing awards. But the one tiny chocolate piece worth the trip and their best seller for years is called the “Axell.” There’s chocolate caramels and there’s chocolate caramels and then there’s the “Axell” made from dark Belgium chocolate and filled with smooth rich sea salt caramel. Perfect for a small hostess gift or small kind gesture to a loved one. They go for $1.50 each, but I recommend the biggest box possible as you’ll save yourself a few trips back. – Taryn Cox for THE WIFE.

A few weeks ago, Mina, from the website MiniPiccolini asked me to share with her readers my top 10 favorite things for wives. Below are my favorite things every wife should have in her life.

1. William Sonoma –  A wondrous playground for any wife who loves to cook in her kitchen. This charming store provides tools to make preparation easier, cooking classes for those who want to learn, and inspiration around every corner for those looking for creativity. www.williamsonoma.com

2. Mrs. Meyers – Every wife should have an eco friendly conscious when shopping for her household.  Enter Mrs. Meyers… A collection of household products with essential oils from flowers and herbs that pack a real punch against daily dirt and grim. From dish soap to laundry detergent to window cleaners Mrs. Meyers brings a powerful clean and a garden fresh scent to your home. All their products are earth friendly, bio degradable, non toxic and never tested on animals. www.mrsmeyers.com

3. Emily Post Etiquette Book –  Every wife should always carry herself like a true lady. Emily Post’s discourses on etiquette is said to be one of the most useful reference books published, next to a dictionary, a thesaurus and a world atlas. The new edition has discussions on perennially necessary topics, such as where to place a soup spoon when setting a formal table and whether one may wear white after Labor Day (the answer is yes). This integration of new material with old, showing respect and consideration for others while placing a premium on honesty, graciousness and deference. It also serves as a reminder of how individual choices may affect others and how easy it is to choose—words, wardrobes, gifts and actions—more wisely. $27.00 on Amazon.Com

4. Stationer –  Every wife can benefit from a very creative and talented stationer. While I take my services to Jonathan Wright and Sugar Paper in Los Angeles, They are always there to help with last minute gifts and an abundance of greeting cards for every occasion.  Your stationer can also aid you in the designing all of life’s celebrations from wedding invitations to birth announcements to personal stationary for thank you notes.  Jonathan Wright  7404 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles, California 90036 323 931 1710; Sugar Paper 253 26^th Street, Brentwood, California 310 451 7870

5. La Perla – Just like the age old saying “A lamb in the kitchen and a tiger in the bedroom.” What better way to inspire a healthy and consistent sex life with your husband than with luxurious lingerie from La Perla. Every man can appreciate his wife coming to bed in a flirtatious silk night gown or something else a little more provocative. www.laperla.com

My favorite birthday gift was my Red Satchel from The Cambridge Satchel Company in London. This Satchel has been on my wish list for the last 2 years and I was thrilled when Richard went out of his way to order it all the way from the UK! So I patiently await for my new Summer purse with my initials “TLC” embossed in gold to arrive in the mail! – Taryn Cox for THE WIFE.
