We may be weeks away from Christmas 2013 and New Year’s Eve, but you can still feel the holiday because of the cold weather we’re experiencing the past few days. And there’s Chinese New Year coming up. If you’re still in the mood for some foodie gift-giving, Bizu Patisserie’s Christmas 2013 collection of treats are still available for you and your loved ones.
Bizu is well-known for their delectable pastries and their yearly holiday goodies. We blogged about them here and here. They usually have a theme, and for 2013, it’s Tchaikovsky’s Land of the Sweets (from The Nutcracker). You can check the list of their 2013 holiday collection below this post. Most of them are still sold at your favorite Bizu store, so make sure to inquire if there’s something you fancy.
Last Christmas, they sent us a few of our favorite Bizu goodies such as their Pretzel Joie and butterscotch.
This time, they included 2 flavors of their Pretzel Joie – Almond & White Chocolate, and Dark Chocolate L’Orange. These are addictive, trust me! 😀
They also gave us a tin of their Paradise on Earth loose tea, which I have yet to try. This is Bizu’s blend of black tea, white bergamot, rose petals, lavender flowers and vanilla. No wonder the tea smells so good. 🙂
Though Christmas and New Year’s Eve have passed, most of their holiday treats are still available until supplies last. Check out Bizu’s Christmas 2013 collection below.
