Chocolate from 10 far-flung sources, for the intellectual taster on the gift list to compare, includes Tanzania (fruity), Venezuela (hinting of coffee) and Papua New Guinea (suggests grilled almonds). A set of the colorfully wrapped 1.8-ounce bars, all 75 percent cacao bittersweet and made by Pralus in Roanne, France, is $49.95 from worldwidechocolate.com and $48 at Takashimaya.
