But, once the chocolate is eaten the gift is often forgotten. Here at Chocolate Funk we have made it part of our mission to find the world's best gift chocolates. In this endeavor, we are not only taking the quality of the chocolates themselves into consideration, but also the way that they are presented to the recipient. One of our favorites...so far Recently we have found some gift chocolates that come in a package that will not soon be forgotten. Their presentation is impeccable and makes one of the most elegant gifts out of all the gift chocolates that we have seen. It's call Orpheon and comes in a handmade wooden box assembled with finger-joint construction, which really adds to the luxury as most other wooden boxes for gift chocolates are simply glued together. The wood that its made of is called Sapelli, which is a member of the mahogany family and lends a very warm hue to the box and is varnished to bring out the grain of the wood more intensely. The box itself has 3 drawers which are filled with a variety of delicate, handmade chocolates of the highest quality. The box also features a brass plate engraved with two intertwining hearts, making it that much more romantic. You can even have an additional brass plate added and engraved with your own personal message to the recipient. The three drawers make it ideal for jewelry storage after the chocolates have been devoured. And you can purchase refills of the same chocolates to bring back some memories at a later date. The final touch is a simply yet elegant ivory colored fabric rose that accompanies the box. We really found this to be an ideal gift for any special lady and we guarantee that she will be overjoyed!
