Introducing Katherine Anne Confections:
Katherine has been making decadent confections ever since her childhood on a Wisconsin farm. Her mother taught her how to use fresh cream from the family’s Jersey cows to create batches of old-fashioned caramels. During the holidays, her father sold “Katharine’s Karamels” at work for 25 cents each. Over the years her passion for creating artisanal confections grew, and she perfected three classic caramel flavors and six exquisite truffle varieties.
Quality and sustainability are important. These handmade confections are made using
only the finest ingredients, such as Guittard chocolate, heavy cream, and locally produced wildflower honey. Their distinctive round boxes are hand-crafted for us by artisans who use a long grass instead of tree products, creating a paper that is not only beautiful but sustainable as well.
Katherine Anne Confections can be found in Whole Foods throughout Chicago; Pastoral Artisan; Lush Wines and Spirits; Eno Wine; and various independent coffee shops. Through katherine-anne.com, clients may place retail orders for corporate gifts, weddings, and chocolate tastings. Custom packaging is available for bridal favors.

Swiggies is the new Water Bottle for the 21st Century. As many know Hyperthermia is one of the most common serious problems faced by exercisers. The AmericanCollege of Sports Medicine recommends drinking 8 to 10 ounces of water before a workout, 8 ounces during a workout, and up to 16 ounces after a workout. Swiggies was developed for runners, but can also be used by bikers, skaters, walkers, aerobics, etc.
Each cleverly designed Swiggies holds 5.5 ounces of water or sports drink. It is strapped onto the wrist and has a pull top. It eliminates the need to carry water bottles, which can be cumbersome to carry and break your stride when you have to stop to take a drink. You just fill them up with cold water and go!! Both Swiggies supply you with the necessary 11 ounces of liquid to complete your workout without the risk of dehydration.
Each Swiggies weighs a half pound, which is the perfect amount for running without putting stress on your joints. When they are filled with cold water Swiggies cools your wrists and keeps you from overheating. Swiggies makes a unique gift for any fitness minded person.
Swiggies is patented and has a suggested retail price of $12.95 a set + $5.50 shipping. Click here to order Swiggies!
