Think about giving a gourmet chocolate gift the next time you're at a loss as to what to get a chocolate lover. en-us Fri, 16 Dec 2005 00:55:36 EST Fri, 16 Dec 2005 00:55:36 EST Weblog Editor 2.0 If you're searching the Internet for gift ideas, you might find some sites that suggest giving a gourmet chocolate gift. This could come in the form of a gift basket, chocolate roses, a box of chocolates, gourmet chocolate chip cookies and more. You'll be surprised at how limitless your options are. Unique Gourmet Chocolate Gifts Anyone can give a box of chocolates as a gourmet chocolate gift, but have you ever considered a Frozen Hot Chocolate Gift Set? It comes with a dish, chocolate shavings, and a mix that consists of 14 different kinds of chocolate to make the ultimate frozen hot chocolate! What about a Birthday Card Gift Box? This is a chocolate birthday card (for real!) that comes with six chocolate-dipped strawberries. This is a very elegant gourmet chocolate gift. We also came across a little chocolate bundt cake that has assorted chocolates sticking out of the top and a birthday party hat on top. It looks like a little head wearing a party hat! So cute! And so fun! Yummo! Of course, birthdays aren't the only occasion to give or send a gourmet chocolate gift. There are anniversaries, graduations, gifts to say thank you and even gifts to express sympathy. Think about it--when you eat chocolate, serotonin is produced in the brain. This is a feel-good chemical. We're not saying that chocolate can replace a loved one, but it can help to ease the pain in a way that a plant or flowers can't. Non-Edible Chocolate Gifts Not all chocolate gifts have to be edible. What if the person you're giving the gift to is on a low carb diet or has some other diet restriction? No problem. You can find low carb chocolates everywhere these days--even gourmet versions. Or, if you prefer not to risk it, you can give a man who enjoys cigars a chocolate cigar. We even found a gift set on www.chocolate.com that is an upside down top hat filled with chocolate cookie cigars, gourmet coffee, nuts and more. Of course, those are edible chocolate treats, and this paragraph is dedicated to inedible chocolate treats, so....on to the ultimate gourmet chocolate gift for a woman who's watching her figure: Philosophy's Double Rich Hot Cocoa Shampoo, Body Wash and Bubble Bath. No, it's not three separate products. Instead, it's three-in-one. She'll pour a little into her bath water, then use a little to wash her hair and a little more as body wash. She'll melt like marshmallow in this wonderful concoction--all without gaining an ounce! Fri, 16 Dec 2005 00:55:36 EST
