Chocolate Gift Baskets For Holidays And More

By Lucia Weeks


Have you ever had an occasion where you needed a gift, but absolutely couldn't think of what to give? There are many times where you may find yourself in this conundrum, especially if the person already has everything they need or desire. Whether you are looking for a last-minute present or even planning weeks in advance, consider chocolate gift baskets as your go-to solution.

The contents of these baskets vary and some may even be customizable so you can choose what goes in, so there is a basket solution for everyone on your gifting list. Do they like only dark chocolate, or perhaps are more partial to milk or white varieties? Buy a basket specifically geared toward this to ensure they get exactly what they like, or go for a mix for variety.

You could also consider baskets that include more than just truffles or candy bars. Perhaps if you are sending cocoa, a mug to drink it from would be a nice addition. Chocolate-dipped confections such as pretzels, cake pops and espresso beans are also possibilities if you want to get a little more adventurous.

Go to any local grocer, drug store online website during the holidays, and there is almost no end to the many gift basket possibilities and combinations. If the recipient is near you, buy one and give it to them in person to see their reaction. Unfortunately, not everyone lives in the same area, which is why delivery is such a great option. You may incur an additional charge, which varies according to how fast you need the item delivered. It could be sent in the mail or using a special delivery service.

There is a caveat for those who wish to use delivery, especially if it is through the mail. In the summer, chocolate could easily melt if left on a doorstep even for a few minutes, much less hours that it may take the recipient to get home and bring the package inside. In states where the weather is warm even in spring and fall, this could still be an issue. Be sure to chose hand delivery only if the recipient lives in one of these areas so they don't end up with a melted mess.

Many people only think to send gift baskets out during Christmas, but they really are good for many other holidays. Think about the chocolate bunnies and other confections for Easter. Valentine's Day is great because an entire basket is way better than a simple box of them. There are many other holidays besides Christmas where this would be a great, welcome treat.

Going beyond holidays, special occasions that are more personal in nature are also appropriate times to give a basket as a gift. Birthday boys and girls will appreciate the gift, as will anyone who maybe has recently been sick or even given birth. Or just send one to someone you love just because, for no real reason as a thoughtful surprise.

When it comes to gifting, it is time to think outside the box and send a fun and delicious chocolate gift instead. With so many options and delivery right to their doorstep, there is every reason to consider a basket as a present.
