Giving chocolate is almost as personal as giving jewelry. You don’t want to offend anyone by giving or not giving chocolate. To help ensure that you don’t end up in the dog house, we have developed a list of the top ten things to include in a chocolate gift basket.
10. A card. Express your love through words and the recipient will hold onto those words long after the chocolate is gone.
9. Wine. Get an expensive, rich dessert wine and put it in the basket. After the romantic dinner dessert can be an extension of the romance
8. Tickets. No not to the Giants game on Sunday. Romantic tickets to a cruise, a romantic spa getaway, or homemade tickets to a romantic weekend in a hotel eating room service are all acceptable additions.
7. Movies. This must be a romantic movie and yes you must watch it with her.
6. Poetry. A book of the world’s most romantic poems, made better if you read them while gazing lovingly into her eyes. Even better write the romantic poem yourself and read it just after you finish dinner and before you start number nine.
5. Chocolate roses. Chocolate roses wrapped in gold leaf.
4. Solid gold roses. Solid gold handcrafted into the beautifully alluring shape of the most romantic flower on Earth.
3. Beautiful crystal wine glasses to go with number nine.
2. Jewelry. Hide that special piece of jewelry that you just know will be loved and wait for the reaction when that special someone finds it amongst number one.
1. Chocolate. Chocolate is the number one thing to include in a chocolate gift basket. Decadent truffles, white chocolate, milk chocolate, and the most romantic of all dark chocolate are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to sweet chocolate treats. Don’t forget to throw in some sugar free and vegan chocolates!
