Let’s face it. The only reason we buy chocolate bars from supermarkets before our dates, meeting or reunions is because of its convenience. But it says ‘lazy’ in big, capital letters! Why not put in some effort and thought into buying something meaningfully chocolaty? If you’re as lazy as I once was, you’d want to read this article further to choose the apt chocolate hampers UK for someone.
Let chocolate be devoured in its original form. Go simple and gift family and friends their favourite chocolate in baskets. In case the hampers are meant for corporate acquaintances, throw in a bouquet or a bottle of wine. In case you’re buying the same for a child, let it be accompanied by toys meant for their age group or if it’s for your lady love to celebrate the day of your love, add a champagne bottle instead.
You can choose to gift the receiver the healthier indulgence that is dark chocolate and avoid those that are full of sugar, syrup and words that are hard to pronounce. Make sure that the quantity of cocoa in the chocolate you are gifting is seventy percent or above for it to be classified as dark chocolate. Team the basket full of dark chocolate bars with wine or vodka, according to the time and occasion, and you’re good to go!
- You know they like a particular fruit and you know they like a particular chocolate. Get your hamper customized! Make them dip the fruit in the chocolate and pack it beautifully. Add a few bards of the same chocolate in the basket for ornamental factor and win their hearts. This is an excellent gifting idea for couples in their honeymoon phases!
- Step outside the world of chocolate bars and into the world of chocolate cakes: truffle, black forest, so on and so forth. There are at least a hundred choices when it comes to cakes, differing in style, shape or size or all of them! Accompany this with a suitable drink to gulp it down. Best for occasions where the idea of cutting cakes is conventionally necessary like birthdays and anniversaries!
- Now wait, do you think chocolate exists only in edible forms? NO! Buy baskets full of chocolate lotions by the company that your woman favours the most. Chocolate flavoured face creams, body lotions, feet creams etc. aren’t just it, there are chocolate flavoured lip-balms too. And women do in fact lick their lips just because there’s chocolate taste on them. And wouldn’t you like to taste chocolate yourselves?
- Again, think out of the box! Chocolate isn’t only edible, we learnt that in the previous point. Why not focus on the colour now? Your loved one loves the choco colour? Buy her a hamper of hair colour in chocolate shade, nail paint in chocolate shade, clothes in chocolate shade and shades in chocolate shades! Buy her anything which would remind her of the colour. Throw in some chocolate bars in your customized hamper and enjoy the feeling of making someone happy!
Chocolate is a lot more than just what we eat. It’s a lifestyle sometimes! Get pleasure from it as you would from anything else.
