I once had a friend send me a Harry & David gift basket, with the note that she had narrowly been talked out of sending (and here I’m quoting directly from the ad copy) “Ten Plagues of Egypt Chocolate Gift Basket! Yes, you too can down chocolate locusts, caramel boils, and dead cattle in this cheery collection.” I could most definitely be friends with whomever came up with the idea of a Ten Plagues chocolate collection.<\/p>\n
Ditto for whomever produced this cute set of wine markers. Because nothing says “Party!” like a big suppurating boil.<\/p>\n
There’s one for each of the Plagues. The set uses pretty commonly-available charms, so if you’re feeling crafty you could put together some of your very own.<\/p>\n
