25 Gourmet Chocolate Gifts for Any Occasion

When you're looking for a quick gift, chocolate will always do the trick. Sure, it's an old standby—but that doesn't mean it's thoughtless. It's a perennial favorite for a reason: Just about everyone likes chocolate and it's easy to come by.

And when you know where to look, you can get something a lot more unique than a heart-shaped box from the drugstore (though we'd argue that's always a nice gesture, too!). For housewarming or hostess gifts, consider something like chocolate waffle mix. The birthday boy or girl will go crazy for a gourmet dark chocolate cake. And new dads and moms will appreciate the luxury of fresh breakfast delivered straight to their door—chocolate croissants or babka, anyone? There are even some gifts kids will find funny—like a heart-shaped candy-filled chocolate shell that you have to smash with a mallet to get the goods.

Moral of the story? As long as one of these unique chocolate gift boxes, baskets, or sets is on your radar, you really can't go wrong. (Especially if you splurge on a dupe for yourself!)
