subject: Candy Gift Baskets: A Delectable Gift Idea [print this page] It's difficult to find people who do not enjoy the delicious, sweet taste of candy -unless of course they have some sort of chocolate allergy. But everyone has his or her "candy vice," whether it be chocolate covered pretzels, licorice, or gummy bears. Who wouldn't gladly take a gift of one's favorite candy? Most of the time, we try to refrain ourselves from giving into these indulgences. We try to be healthy. But when one receives candy gifts, all bets are off. This was a purchased gift. Someone else spent the money and thought of us. It would be rude not to eat it! That is exactly why a gift of candy will always be taken, eaten, and thoroughly enjoyed.
Maybe you're interested in giving someone chocolates or other candy as a gift, but you don't know what occasion is appropriate. You assume a gift basket is best kept as get well gifts. Well, this is partially true. When someone is sick or recovering from a surgery, candy is a great way to cheer the person up. It's sweet and delicious, and if you're lucky, will be shared with the gift giver. But it shouldn't be reserved for only this one occasion. Candy and chocolates can be enjoyed year round for just about every occasion.
Birthdays, promotions, holidays, these are all opportunities to share in the delight. But if you're worried it isn't enough, it's easy to add on to candy gifts. One great benefit of candy is that you can find gift baskets of all different sizes. So if it's your close friend's birthday, you can purchase a small basket and spend more money on something else he asked for. Perhaps it is a coworker's birthday, someone you don't feel quite as close to. Opt for a larger gift basket. You won't have the awkwardness of not knowing exactly what he wants. There is no way a coworker will be disappointed.
Honestly, you don't even need a "real" reason or occasion. The best gifts are always the ones that were not expected. Doesn't it feel good when a friend or partner randomly gives you a gift? It doesn't even have to be anything fancy like jewelry. Sometimes the smallest, simplest token is enough to put a smile on your face. And it feels just as good being the giver, knowing you did something sweet for someone you care about. If you're not looking to spend a fortune on a small gift, opt for candy gifts. They'll be a much welcome surprise that the two of you can indulge in.
