Expert Opinions are tips from L.A.’s ultimate insiders.  Today’s contributor is Janet (pictured above with her husband), a personal assistant who spent 37 years working for one of Hollywood’s biggest power players. 

Even if you live on a ramen budget, there are occasions that demand A-list gifts.  Janet turned us on to some shops that impress no matter what your budget:

I had the privilege of working with a boss who had top organizational skills and was a wonderful communicator. Since I was 19 when I started working for him and had the sense to observe and be willing to learn, I gained a great deal of knowledge that I used in a long, successful career.

My boss was a generous man who gave many gifts.  Even to this day, there are two places that I would highly recommend to anyone for great gifts:

Edelweiss Chocolates is a paradise.  They cover and dip just about anything and everything in chocolate – fruit, marshmallows, you name it.  Their gift boxes are elegantly wrapped and you can buy one piece or one hundred. 

Beverly Hills Seed is a wonderful store where you can choose from a large assortment of lush, healthy plants in beautiful decorative pots.  My favorites are all the varieties of orchids that you will find in several sizes and prices.

Edelweiss Chocolates, 444 N Canon Dr., Beverly Hills, CA 90210, (310) 275-0341 and 225 26th Street, Santa Monica, Ca 90402, 310-656-0306, $-$$$$

Beverly Hills Seed, 9526 Santa Monica Blvd., Beverly Hills, Ca 90210, 310-276-3501, $$$$
