Giving Artisan Chocolate Gifts: What, When, And To Who

By Essie Osborn


Everyone has a sweet tooth, but not every sweet tooth is the same. Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing appropriate artisan chocolate gifts for different people with whom you have different relationships. With this simple guide, your favorite friends, family members, and co-workers will be happy with the sweets you serve.

Chocolate is one of the most popular romantic gifts. Because of the dopamine it releases when eaten, it makes a partner or lover feel happy when they eat it. When it comes to a gift for a romantic interest, the size and extravagance of the gift should be tied to how long you've been dating.

When you are new to a romantic relationship, don't overdo it with an extravagant gift. A few high quality truffles in a small box, with just a few bites of ganache cream filling, is the perfect way to tell a partner you're thinking of them. In a long term serious relationship, the bigger the box and the more luxurious the selection of chocolates, the better.

Another good target for the gift of luxury candy is a professional colleague, like a client with whom you've just completed a big work project. Try sending a box of assorted top notch chocolates to their office to impress an upscale client, and thank them for a business partnership. Because artisan chocolates are made from top quality ingredients, and are usually made by hand, they'll create a positive impression.

For a close friend, it's not so much the size of the gift that matters as the care that goes into the selection. Show your friend how well you know them with a sweet treat that's a good match for their particular taste. If they like a citrus, find them a truffle which incorporates a bit of orange zest. If they are wine or whiskey fans, get a selection of chocolates that pairs well with their drink of choice.

For a friend, you might want to give that kind of present on a birthday, but that's not the only time. Moving house, running a marathon; any kind of personal victory is worth celebrating with a sweet candy present. For a romantic partner, be sure to hit the classic holidays like anniversaries and Valentine's day. No matter when you're feeling generous, the better the caliber of truffle, the happier the recipient will be.

Holidays make fun times to give professional gifts, but there's no need to wait for one. You don't need an excuse to show co-workers and clients that you have built a great working relationship. One of the most important aspects of a professional present is to remind the recipient that you're around, and excited to work with them.

Because artisan chocolate is a gender neutral gift and works for any age group, it is a versatile choice of present. Once you find a favorite chocolatier or a favorite style of truffle, you can make it your go to gift, again and again. Just be sure to do plenty of sampling before you decide what to give. There's no reason you can't enjoy a little sweetness, too!
