Q: I don't care for jellies or jams but I really love honey, and my favorite for peanut butter sandwiches is chocolate whipped honey. I can't seem to find this anywhere. I don't know the brand name, but if you can find it, I'd be happy to order several jars. It's that good.
STEVE REYES, Roswell
A: Laney makes a variety of flavored whipped honeys, including vanilla, lemon and chocolate. You can order 9-ounce jars of chocolate whipped honey for $5.50 through www.laneyhoney.com or by calling 574-656-8701.
Q: My wife used to wear Emeraude cologne years ago. She can no longer find this and I would really like to surprise her with a bottle for her birthday, if it's still available. Your help is greatly appreciated.

A: Emeraude perfume was launched by Coty in the early 1920s. It's considered a floral scent with a blend of orange, jasmine, spices and sandalwood. Although it's not nearly as popular as it once was, Emeraude is still available, and you can pick up a 2.5-ounce cologne spray for your wife's birthday at Bed Bath & Beyond, 130 Perimeter Center W., Atlanta, 770-673-0171. Each bottle costs $16.59. At that price, you can pick up a spare.
Q: I'm looking for Osage Rub, the refreshing head and neck splash for men. Years ago, Drug Emporium carried it as did some barber shops.

A: Osage Rub by Clubman is often used as a refreshing, cooling rub slapped on the face after shaving. You'll find this old-fashioned splash at Atlanta Barber and Beauty Supply, 186 Mitchell St., Atlanta, 404-522-8787. Each 14-ounce bottle of the green rub costs $4.50.
Q: Please help me find lip gloss by Wet n Wild. It comes in a clear, ball-shaped compact. I'm looking for the candy apple color. I love it and it's so much less expensive than other brands.
BETHANY COLLINS, Dunwoody
A: Glassy Gloss Jelly Pops by Wet n Wild is packaged in a pretty, faceted, clear plastic compact about the size of a golf ball. These scented lip glosses come in a variety of sheer colors, including candy apple, pink sugar and cherry berry. You'll find candy apple Jelly Pops for $2.50 each at Super Target, 100 Perimeter Center Place, Atlanta, 678-259-0888.
Q: I'm looking for a three-pack of boxed Spatini spaghetti sauce mix. My 84-year-old mother lives in Baltimore and has used this sauce for many years. She has indicated the local stores in her area no longer stock this product. If this sauce is still available, I would love to surprise her with an order. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

A: This seasoning mix is barely available. It's on several discontinued lists, but there's still some to be had. However, the specific box you're looking for isn't available at this time. I did find a 15-ounce packet that should last your mother a good long while. You can have it shipped directly to her house through www.amazon.com. Each packet costs $24.99 and makes up to 2 1/2 gallons of sauce, which should take care of quite a few Sunday spaghetti suppers.
