The true chocolate car

Now, I know when I put "car" on my Christmas list and leave it for my boyfriend to find, I know I am in for either a big disappointment or a hilarious joke in the form of a toy car wrapped almost to look like jewellery, or maybe that perennial side splitter, an Audi R8 branded key ring, wrapped in a gigantic box, with the message "The car comes next year!"

But, if he's going to take the low cost route to buying me a car he could at least make sure it's made of chocolate. If he manages to take the hint and buy at least one gift that I would truly appreciate it would be the chocolate sports car on sale at a well known high street confectionary outlet.

The sleek bodywork is totally edible, the cocoa coloured upholstery is a sight to behold, and although the white chocolate headlights might not illuminate the road very much, they would certainly give me a high-beam smile!!!

And like all those footballers' WAGs I would want a sleek bit of personalisation to make the car truly my own. Forget embroidered love hearts in the headrest or a number plate saying "8A8E 22", I would want my car personalised with a white chocolate love ditty that came straight from his own imagination. Actually, forget that - he's probably safer just getting my name iced on it.

So, there we have it - one Christmas gift done and dusted. I wonder what he'll make of the next item on the list - "Mulberry bag".
