Henrietta loves this… because it involves a chocolate chandelier. Enough said. But beyond the realms of the melty and impracticable, the Lights On exhibition (currently on display at Siobhan Davies Studios until 12 March) also demonstrates a whole host of other evocative and thoughtful new lighting design that makes it well worth the visit.

Curated by Nuno Coelho, Lights On sees a series of lighting interventions across the dance studios' public spaces. The six designers involved - Eelko Moorer, Freddie Yauner, Henny van Nistelrooy, Jesse Visser, Jordi Canudas and Mathias Hahn - all have very different approaches, and the works  range from a 'hairy' rubber light (Jungle Light, Eelko Moorer) to the Fastest Light in the World, a concorde made from neon tubing (Freddie Yauner). Techniques such as traditional weaving meet with digital technology and intelligent design, lighting up the gloomy winter months with some serious panache.

However it's the Chocochandelier, by Spanish designer Jordi Canudas, that attracts the most warm feeling over here at Because HQ. Made up of suspended chocolate bars around a large circle of strong light bulbs, the chocolate melts into a bowl underneath making a slow-food fondue and a whole new meaning to the phrase "light snack".

Reverting to Type is a font of words of wisdom. Words of wisdom in great fonts, in fact - because this is an exhibition I a showcase of contemporary letterpress practitioners, all showing how an ancient craft can still be relevant, beautiful and wall-worthy in the digital age. For anyone who didn't manage to catch the exhibition in the snowy run up to Christmas, it is well worth making the resolution to visit and shop for its second leg this month.

Curated by Graham Bignell of New North Press and graphic designer Richard Ardagh, the show in the Standpoint Gallery off Hoxton Square highlights the current resurgence of interest in handprinted type, through prints, posters, cards and publications most of which are for sale. Pick up a daily reminder from Hi Artz Press that 'London It's Near Paris Ain't It" or just relish in the inky words as they spell out, in Hand & Eye's case treasures like "Awopbopbaloopop". Mr Smith, another favourite, reminds us that Letterpress Isn't Just For Christmas, which of course by now we know.

Because doing your homework is key to getting good Christmas presents, and because a desk job has never been so appealing, thanks to the existence of gorgeous online stationer Present & Correct.
