Found over at Think Geek, these sleek white envelopes come with coordinating note cards that feature a tasteful brown border and no tacky embellishments. The inside of the envelopes is decorated with brown pinstripes and a [chocolate shaving pattern](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghirardelli-chocolocket) that is oh-so-delectable and the adhesive is full of [sweet, chocolatey flavor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ethel-m-chocolates-valentines-day-collection).
