All about chocolate

by Arieanna on January 19th, 2006

Ok, don’t cringe, but we are officially less than a month away from Valentine’s Day. That lovely, but dreaded, day for just about everyone…

What to do. What to give. What has ‘meaning’. There is so much double think around this "holiday" it’s quite disgusting. But that aside, it’s still quite lovely when you are in a relationship ;)

So, when it comes to the two standby gifts, flowers and chocolates, my tip is to take it up a notch. If you cannot think of something more creative, or just want another gift to go along with your surprise, I’m gonna talk chocolates here.

Chocolates. Incredibly yummy, but lots of choices. Why not just go to the drug store and pick up something there? Easy, right? Well, easy is not what we’re looking for. We’re looking for thought. And if you’re gonna give us chocolates, please make it good chocolate. And if you think the chocolate you buy at the supermarket is good, you are totally wrong.

I have hardly seen a city without its variety of gourmet chocolate shops - either little businesses or chains. It won’t take you long to find something. Most of these places will have boxed sets, or you can put together your little collection of treats on your own.

One last tip: try to get fillings or chocolate types you know she likes. Dark, milk, white? Coffee, coconut, nuts? Truffles? These little things make a big difference.

From "oh, chocolates" to "ooooooh, chocolates!"

    You’re absolutely right. Nothing p*sses me off more than to get assorted boxed chocolates, from which I like maybe one or two. If the guy is so interested in you, he should find out which flavours you prefer, shouldn’t he?
