Why chocolate hampers make ideal gifts

101 24
In today's increasingly health-conscious society, many people are reluctant to buy chocolate for themselves - but that doesn't mean confectionery is any less appreciated when bought as a gift by someone else. Chocolate is an almost universal gift idea, even more versatile than flowers, and as long as you put some thought into your selection of chocolate treats, the sentiment is sure to be appreciated by its recipients.

That's why chocolate hampers are an enduringly popular choice. Available in a range of sizes, they are suitable for a wide variety of occasions - from formal situations between colleagues to more intimate occasions between friends, family members or lovers. Whether you put one together yourself or choose from a range of options available from suppliers, hampers can be the ideal gift to celebrate any occasion - from a promotion to an anniversary or even annual holidays like Christmas.

If you've ever received a chocolate hamper yourself, you'll appreciate the excitement of opening the package to reveal the wealth of offerings inside. In the case of branded hampers produced by major chocolate manufacturers, you can be assured of the high quality of the products and you won't even have to settle for weeding out items that aren't to your taste if the hamper was put together by someone close to you who knows your likes and dislikes. This is one reason why chocolate hampers are preferable to ready-made assortments such as selection boxes or tubs of miniatures, which are more random in their selection of treats.

If you're putting together chocolate hampers by yourself, you don't have to limit the contents to just chocolates either. If the hamper is for a special occasion, such as Mother's Day or for your partner, you could include additional gifts like a DVD of their favourite film or tickets to a show, creating the perfect gift experience. You may also prefer to balance out the sweetness of the chocolate with some healthier options such as fruit or nuts, especially if you're giving the hamper to someone who's conscious about their weight.

Chocolate hampers are already gift-wrapped by nature, but that doesn't mean you can't be creative with the decoration. Your choice of design can be just as broad and personalised as your choice of the contents, and it's up to you whether you choose a conservative and elegant look or something more fun for a close friend or child.
