Chocuterie from Olive & Sinclair

Scott Witherow is an absolute wiz with chocolate. His chocuterie program is a play on making dessert look like cured sausage and he has hit the ball out of the park. He includes everything any good sausage should have from the netting and mold on the outside (string and powdered sugar) to the perfect little bits of fat on the inside (white chocolate and marshmallow).

An "I Believe In Nashville" T-shirt

A Red Boot Koozie from Robert's Western World

This shows people two things -- first is that you are cool enough to know to go to, and have been to, Robert's Western World, which is hands down the best honky tonk in Nashville. Second, it lets people know that you are also a connoisseur of some of the finest can beer in all the world; beer that needs to be kept cold for optimal enjoyment; beer that has changed the lives of many, PBR.
