The subject of Faberge eggs might be better suited for the Easter season, but perhaps the change in weather has my mind on colder lands (Russia) and with Christmas also progressing forward the decadence of the giving season also takes my mind to these little decadent orbs of luxury. There were only sixty-eight eggs made by Peter Carl Faberge and fifty-four were made for tsars. Through the turmoil of the past eight eggs were lost and remain missing.
But truly, what would be a better gift at any season, than a rich egg with a surprise inside? Perhaps, these Kinder Eggs (a German treat) will provide a cheaper alternative. Much like the Russian Faberge eggs and Russian nesting dolls, these eggs of delightful and dynamic. A creamy milk chocolate shell covers a hollow white chocolate egg, break it open and find a little plastic container with a toy (better toys than McDonald's happy meals can provide).
Begs the question, chocolate or diamonds, which is a better gift for women?
