Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but chocolate gets along with everybody. With more research than ever pointing towards the benefits of indulging in an a bit of chocolate goodness every now and then, this is one treat that appeals to everyone; making chocolate the number one choice when it comes to edible presents.

Today’s chocolate gifts go beyond red drugstore candy hearts- there are decadent chocolate baskets and luscious chocolate assortments to please even the pickiest of receivers. In fact, with so many chocolate varieties to choose from, you may not know where to begin your hunt for the perfect morsel. Here are some ideas to keep in mind when you’re thinking about giving the glorious gift of chocolate:

Think Outside the (Candy) Box. A box of treats is always nice to receive, but if you really want to up the wow factor, go for an unexpected chocolate gift. Chocolate baskets can be filled with an assortment of delicious specialties that go well together. Like rich chocolate covered coffee beans paired with an aromatic java blend. Or, for the ultimate compliment of tastes, try a dark chocolate assortment and a basket of ripe berries. Chocolate and champagne have always made a romantic anniversary gift, but there’s no need to stick to truffles and bon bons. Why not surprise her with a selection of chocolate body paints, or a chocolate rose dusted with real 24 karat gold?

Bring Chocolate Into the Workplace. Corporate gifts are an office necessity. To really make yourself stand out in the eyes of a client, skip the stationary set or logo mug in favor of a chocolate gift that will really impress. At specialty chocolate makers and websites, you can get custom made chocolate business cards to include with your proposal, or a chocolate gift basket made entirely of treats that relate to your target recipient. (Chocolate golf clubs, perhaps?) And since there are properties found within cocoa that have been proven to elevate mood and make people happy, having a chocolate assortment available to nosh on before a big meeting may just make a potential customer more amenable to using your services.

Don’t Forget To Treat Yourself. When choosing the perfect chocolate basket to send as a present, don’t forget to send a little something to yourself. After all, chocolate has been shown to be an effective antioxidant, and induces the same chemical reaction in the brain as being in love. Not to mention the fact that a chocolate assortment is guaranteed to make you smile- and remains a much more affordable alternative to hours of therapy.

Chocolate just makes people happy. From creamy milk chocolate to rich white chocolate and decadent dark, there are dozens of ways for you to indulge in a cocoa covered smile. Just don’t forget to share.
