THIS week's tip for Christmas shopping on the Net takes a tour to tasty treats.

Groovy Chocolate is a new site (it only went live at the end of last month) which specialises in personalised chocolate bars -- I kid you not

The firm uses edible inks to print messages, images -- even photographs -- onto a great big bar of chocolate, which you can then send to a loved one, relative or even yourself, should you be of that kind of mindset.

They have a range of designs so you can do a choccy bar design online and then have it wing its way to the intended target. And, as well as Christmas, there are designs for birthdays, anniversaries and even St Patrick's Day (but not, disappointingly, for Saints David, George or Andrew).

You can even bang on a picture of your significant other and have a nibble whenever the mood takes you. Crazy? Maybe, but it's pretty different.
