When it comes to picking a gift, a lot of people tend to go with an edible treat when they’re struggling to come up with an idea. After all, edibles are always appreciated and you have the choice of going for something cheap and affordable or super expensive.

 

However, if you’ve ever tried to give an edible gift to someone who’s a little bit picky about their treats, then you’ll know that it’s quite hard to surprise them. Chocolate lovers are a great example of this. While you can give them any kind of chocolate gift and they’ll be pleased, they’re probably not going to be surprised by what you give them.

1. A fine hot chocolate mix

 

One of the best ways to enjoy chocolate is in a sweet and delicate hot chocolate mix. There are a couple of well-known gourmet hot chocolate makers such as Ghirardelli, Guittard and Theo that offer hot chocolate mixes that are completely different from your average supermarket brand. There are also sugar-free options and dark chocolate mixes for those who are feeling a little more adventurous.

 

2. Luxury chocolate tasting evening

 

Treat a friend or family member to a luxury chocolate tasting evening. You can even join them or get two tickets for your recipient and their partner. It usually involves detailed descriptions of all the unique chocolates they’ll be tasting, and there’s usually a drink involved as well to help bring out all of the unique flavours and sweetness from the chocolates themselves. It’s a fun evening that makes for unforgettable memories.

 

3. Chocolates from other countries

 

Chocolate lovers will probably have sampled lots of regional delicacies before, but you can always go the extra mile and get them a chocolate box from another country. There are usually lots of great chocolates out there that are unique to their specific countries. Hawaiian chocolates are a great example of this because the chocolate comes from the cacao trees which thrive on the islands. This gives the chocolate from Hawaii a unique taste that differs from other countries.

 

4. Chocolate fondue set

 

If your recipient doesn’t have one already, a chocolate fondue set can be one of the most unique and interesting gifts for a chocolate lover. Fondue is something that many chocolate lovers enjoy, but it’s usually not something they’ll do on their own because it’s time-consuming and is best enjoyed as a group.

 

5. When in doubt, a gift card to a chocolate store

 

If you know that your recipient loves chocolate but you’re unsure about any preferences or allergies, one of the best things to do is get them a gift card for a high-end chocolate store. This lets them pick whatever they want from a wide selection and it avoids the possibility that you get them something they don’t enjoy or are allergic to.
