Chocolate birthday gifts for men

And what better way to show your affection than with a delicious chocolate gift?

Did you know that chocolate is also a "man food"?

It''s true that chocolate is supposed to be a woman''s food, as it is supposed to help with many female ailments, but according to the latest research, it helps men even more than it helps the fairer sex. As well as being one of the 20 foods that soothe and relax men the most, chocolate is more than beneficial for a wide range of ailments. High in cocoa and low in fat and sugar, chocolate is thought to protect men more than women against heart disease, blood clots and stroke.

Every important man in our lives, and especially those who are celebrating, deserves our attention and a nice gesture.

The secret lies in the flavonoids found in cocoa. Flavonoids have powerful antioxidant properties that can also prevent the formation of bad cholesterol, one of the culprits in cardiovascular diseases, including stroke. Chocolate is also thought to lower blood pressure and insulin resistance and protect against blood clots.

Why give chocolate as a birthday present?

Chocolate that is of good quality and has a high cocoa content is, of course, the most beneficial for our well-being; it is important that it contains only cocoa solids and cocoa butter and is low in sugar. Many chocolates contain harmful ingredients that can be quite harmful to our health. Buying good quality chocolate will not only make the celebrant''s taste buds happier, but can also help to ensure his or her well-being. Another good reason why chocolate is one of the most popular birthday gifts for men is that you can''t go wrong with it. Chocolate is one of the most appreciated gifts because there is virtually no man who doesn''t like it. No wonder it is one of the most frequently given gifts, as it carries an important symbolic value and expresses luxury, no matter which type of chocolate it is.

Top chocolate birthday gifts for men

If you''re in doubt about what to get the birthday boy, you can try one of our chocolate ideas:

1. Heart-shaped chocolate cake

If you''re looking for a gift for your boyfriend or husband and you''re good in the kitchen, surprise him with a heart-shaped chocolate cake. If you don''t have a heart-shaped cake tin, you can bake the sponge cake in round and square cake tins. Once the sponge cake is baked, halve the one from the round cake tin and place the two halves on top of the square sponge cake and cut out the bottom of the square sponge cake so that the final sponge cake is heart-shaped. The sponge cake can be decorated with chocolate topping and chocolate chunks - a gift the celebrant will definitely be able to resist!

2. Chocolate basket

If you have a neat little basket at home that you no longer need, you can decorate it with ribbons and gift paper, and put the celebrant''s favourite sweets and a packet of hot chocolate in it to keep him warm on cold days. Whether the birthday boy is your boyfriend, husband, friend, brother, father, grandfather, uncle or any other important man in your life, don''t forget to add a kind message to brighten his day.

3. Personalised chocolate

A carefully chosen chocolate will also express your affection for the birthday boy and show him how much he means to you. If you really know his tastes, you can create a personalised chocolate especially for him - and we''ll be happy to help. You just choose the flavour of chocolate and the sprinkles you think will suit the celebrant best. You can add a message of your choice, and we''ll wrap and prepare the chocolate to bring a smile to the celebrant''s mouth.
