You can appropriately give top quality sweet treats to friends, family, or even professional contacts. Here are some tips for selecting the right artisan chocolate gifts for the right occasions, and the right people, in your life. Almost everyone likes a treat, but not all treats are equal.

Chocolate is one of the most popular romantic gifts. Because of the dopamine it releases when eaten, it makes a partner or lover feel happy when they eat it. When it comes to a gift for a romantic interest, the size and extravagance of the gift should be tied to how long you've been dating.

If you've been dating for a long time, and are firmly committed, or even wed for life, there's no box too big and no price point too extravagant for a gift of luxurious high quality truffles. However, if it is a new relationship, a small box with just a few choice truffles is more appropriate. Choose a couple of chocolates filled with ganache cream, and let someone know you are thinking of them, but don't overwhelm your partner with too much pressure by spending a lot for an elaborate gift.

Another good target for the gift of luxury candy is a professional colleague, like a client with whom you've just completed a big work project. Try sending a box of assorted top notch chocolates to their office to impress an upscale client, and thank them for a business partnership. Because artisan chocolates are made from top quality ingredients, and are usually made by hand, they'll create a positive impression.

For a close friend, it's not so much the size of the gift that matters as the care that goes into the selection. Show your friend how well you know them with a sweet treat that's a good match for their particular taste. If they like a citrus, find them a truffle which incorporates a bit of orange zest. If they are wine or whiskey fans, get a selection of chocolates that pairs well with their drink of choice.

For a friend, you might want to give that kind of present on a birthday, but that's not the only time. Moving house, running a marathon; any kind of personal victory is worth celebrating with a sweet candy present. For a romantic partner, be sure to hit the classic holidays like anniversaries and Valentine's day. No matter when you're feeling generous, the better the caliber of truffle, the happier the recipient will be.

When it comes to work gifts, you don't need to wait for a specific occasion or a holiday. Let your client or co-worker be reminded of you anytime. Keep yourself in their thoughts with a generous and delicious gift that celebrates your ongoing working relationship on any day, just to let them know you're glad you work together.

Because artisan chocolate is a gender neutral gift and works for any age group, it is a versatile choice of present. Once you find a favorite chocolatier or a favorite style of truffle, you can make it your go to gift, again and again. Just be sure to do plenty of sampling before you decide what to give. There's no reason you can't enjoy a little sweetness, too!
