Gourmet Chocolate Gift
Basket Ideas
A note about putting together
gift baskets
By Cheryl
Sandberg
Whether it's a gift basket for
a friend or for a fundraising event, chocolate is the way to go! It's
the "Oooooh and Ahhhh" basket everyone wants, and everyone who loves
chocolate, loves it all the way.
Gift giving for the chocolate lover is
easy. There is a variety of fun chocolate gift ideas to tantalize your
gourmet chocolate lover friend or coworker. Gift baskets are fun to
put together and we have several ideas to help. Chocolate gift
basket ideas can be broad in nature. In your basket you can have a
selection of fine pre-made chocolates, make your own truffles, or
place things such as chocolate covered espresso beans, gourmet hot
chocolate or a fun huge 10 pound bar of gourmet chocolate into your
basket. If your friend doesn't want all the calories of chocolate,
we have other great ideas, too. We've personally reviewed all of these
products and found them wonderful for putting in your personalized
gourmet chocolate gift basket.
For those who don't blink at calories when it
involves chocolate, add these wonderful products to their
basket:
A huge,
never forgettable, 10
pound bar of fine French chocolate
Make them some
candy with our recipes.
An
Occasional Chocolate candy making supply gift certificate
Non-caloric gift suggestions:
Chocolate
aprons
Books and
DVDs about chocolate
Or
here are some great products that are chocolate related - fun, fun, fun!
Lotions and Soaps
Country Bunny Bath and Body has a bunch of fun things that we loved. Our favorite of course
involved chocolate! The Chocolate Mint Massage Bar is lotion in bar
form specifically designed to melt slightly with your body heat. We
tried it on sore muscles and tired feet and backs. We also lent it to
one of our team members who is pregnant. She rubbed it on her belly
and really enjoyed it! The cocoa butter has a natural SPF and is
known for so many other health benefits. Bees wax is wonderful for so
many things and we liked that it doesn't harbor any bacteria. What a
fun gift this would be!
Enchanted Potions has a wonderful list of fun and
exciting things for your skin, which is fun by itself. But when we
found THESE potions, we went nuts! We think we found a way to avoid
paying $4 every morning for mochas. Imagine sitting in a bath tub
and lathering up with shower gel with "Double Chocolate
Fudge" as its name. Ohh...the smell is heavenly! You feel like
you are drinking a mocha while you are rubbing it on your skin. The
cocoa in the product has known health benefits but did you know that
it is a natural sunscreen? Don't miss it, and wow what a great
price! The other product we snatched up in a hurry was a soap bar
that made us drool with the name "Cocoa-Cappuccino Soap
Bar." It really couldn't be better. A bath and cocoa with
cappuccino right in it! Wonderful!
Wrap your own personalized candy bar!
With 2 big
birthdays in our office this year (one of them is 40 and one of them
is 50, but we promised not to state any names!), we looked for fun
ideas to celebrate. This year we ran across some fun ways to
personalize chocolate bars. At www.loris-candy-wrapper-creations.com, we personalized some fun wrappers to give our hard workers. The
wrappers fit around a normal-sized chocolate bar. You can add graphics
and fun comments about who they are. They made really fun personal
gifts. We personalized numerous chocolate bars for the big party.
Fun Chocolate Note Pad and
Note Cards
We found this
great note pad and note cards at The
Glam Boutique. What fun! The cards are on high-quality paper and
printed beautifully. The note pad says, "Did you say
chocolate?" You can add a special touch with a note
card that matches and suggests, "Life is Sweet, Order Dessert
First." Well, we sure liked that idea!
