Have you ever given her a chocolate gift set? Let us tell you why you won''t go wrong.

Chocolate - a gift from God

Chocolate is undoubtedly one of the more appreciated gifts, as there is hardly a person who doesn''t like it. If your gift-giver has even a hint of chocoholic in him or her, you won''t go wrong - especially if you know his or her favourite flavour. But it''s not just the taste that matters when it comes to gift-giving; chocolate also has an important symbolic value and is one of the most commonly given gifts. Of course, this is no coincidence.

Chocolate has many other qualities besides its taste that have a positive effect on our well-being. Its special value was already known to the Aztecs and Mayans, who believed it was the gift of Quetzalcoatl, the "god of the feathered serpent". The cocoa bean was said to fly through the sky and drop a few cocoa beans on Earth, thus bestowing a gift on humanity. Quetzalcoatl''s gift is seen by many as the beginning of the gift of chocolate. In fact, some believe that Christopher Columbus himself was the first to receive chocolate on his first voyages. Although chocolate as we know it today was not known at the time, this Italian merchant was given cocoa beans, which he initially thought were almonds.

Chocolate was already being given as a gift in the 19th century.

The tradition of giving chocolate in the true sense of the word was started by Queen Victoria, who gave it to her soldiers at Christmas and New Year. This custom was soon copied by other nations in Europe and soon spread to the United States of America and other parts of the world. Chocolate was initially only available to a small circle of people and was therefore considered a symbol of luxury. Today, although everyone can afford it, it is still considered synonymous with luxury. Chocolate gift sets have long been a novelty, with the first one being put on the shelves in 1853 by the British company Cadbury, famous for its excellent chocolates. No wonder that neatly packaged chocolate gift sets soon became a real hit and became especially popular during the festive season.

3 reasons why you can''t go wrong with chocolate gift sets

1. They are pleasing to the eye

Chocolate gift sets are especially suitable for those who are not very skilled in gift wrapping or decorating. Whether you''re gifting them to a loved one or to business partners, you can''t go wrong with a neatly wrapped gift set that will bring a smile to many a face. If you have a creative streak in you, you can make a gift set yourself. You can fill a box or a slightly larger hot chocolate cup with chocolate products, decorate it with a bow and you''ll have a gift ready to go.

2. Create new memories and traditions

No matter what form you give chocolate in and to whom, it can be a great opportunity to create new memories and traditions. Especially if the gift-giving continues with socialising (and sweetening) with your loved ones at different events. In addition, you will be able to show your interest and attention to the recipient with a carefully chosen chocolate .

3. They are a luxury gift, accessible to everyone

We doubt there is another thing as luxurious and yet as accessible as chocolate. No matter what your financial situation, you can gift anyone with a delicious chocolate gift set. Treat the recipient to a gift that won''t be forgotten - and won''t be long in coming.
