Fine jewels from Mark Loren Designs will be hidden in Norman Love chocolate boxes
Opening up a box Norman Love Confections chocolates is about to get even sweeter. That’s because Love is teaming up with renowned jeweler Mark Loren to plant sweet surprises in some boxes during the duo’s “12 Gems of Christmas” promotion.
Opening up a box from master chocolatier Norman Love Confections is a thrill in itself, but this holiday season, it’s about to get even sweeter. That’s because Love is teaming up with renowned jeweler Mark Loren to plant sweet surprises in some boxes of his signature chocolates during the duo’s “12 Gems of Christmas” promotion.
The idea is a spinoff of Loren’s “Finders Keepers” promotion, during which he and his staff at Mark Loren Designs are placing pieces of his unique jewelry around Lee County for residents and visitors to find and keep in celebration of the business’ 25th anniversary. Love, who was recently named one of North America’s top 10 Chocolatiers by Dessert Professional Magazine, also has something to celebrate this holiday season.
“Celebrating milestones like our business’ anniversary or Norman’s honor are so much more fun and meaningful when you can share them with the customers and businesses that helped get us where we are today,” Loren says.
Love agrees, adding, “Teaming up with Mark was natural for me. We’re both very involved in the community and giving back. We’re also both committed to the art of our respective crafts – whether it’s chocolate or jewelry, we aim to give our customers something unique, creative and artistic.” In fact, many customers liken Love’s chocolate boxes to fine jewelry boxes.
