Chocolates and Manolo's

The story is like something out of a Roald Dahl book. Heidi Hollingsworth of Austin, Texas receives a box of chocolates as a Valentine's Day gift from her father. It's a sweet gift, but what's hidden inside is a promise of so much more.

Tucked in the box is an announcement that she is the winner of the grand prize in a Godiva's Valentine's Day promotion. Her winnings? One year's supply of Godiva chocolates and Manolo Blahnik shoes, 52 boxes and 52 pairs. Upon her discovery, Heidi Hollingsworth was flown to New York City by Godiva to realize her prize.

"Godiva and Manolo complement eachother I think, both evoke aphrodisia, luxury, indulgence," said Manolo Blahnik president George Malkemus as he explained why the two companies joined forces in this enterprise. " Chocolates are what a lady wants as a gift from someone. That's why it's so important for Valentine's Day. Shoes are what a girl wants for herself. They mark decisions." All we can say is, lucky, lucky Heidi.
