I made these pretty little envelopes to hold some chocolates I bought in Antwerp, Belgium recently and gave them to my Club Members along with their April Club Orders. The yummy chocolates are in the shape of hands. They are shaped that way because of a legend in the city about a giant who chopped off the hands of people who didn't pay him a toll until a hero came along and defeated him and chopped off his hand. Supposedly this is the origin of the city's name, from the Dutch word handwerpen, which meant hand to throw. A bit gruesome, but it is apparently a local tradition to make the chocolates in the shape of hands to honor the story.
