Delicious Romantic Gifts
by Wendy Layne

Romantic gifts are probably the most difficult to give. Certain holidays like Valentine’s Day always elicit the same types of ideas for gift giving. Candy or flowers are standard choices. Other times, you may want to just say "I Love You", but not want to buy an expensive piece of jewelry to do so. Yes, you could just send flowers again, but why not open your mind to a more creative idea that will be thoroughly enjoyed by your loved one and yourself?

Next time you’re in a quandary over what to give, consider a romantic gift of food or wine. What about a decadent chocolate assortment like the "Say It With Chocolate" gift basket? This sumptuous basket was created with the chocolate lover in mind! Filled with a variety of Ghirardelli chocolates, chocolate-covered sandwich cookies, chocolate-covered espresso beans, chocolate chip cookies and chocolate-covered grahams, this gift will put your lover into orbit!

Maybe you’d like to plan a romantic weekend just for the two of you? Our "Wine Country Weekend" gift basket makes the perfect addition to an evening by the fireplace. Start with a perfect wine - Columbia Crest Merlot, a balanced fruity wine with deep color and flavor. A merlot-infused cheese spread, summer sausage and California Crisps crackers make the perfect accompaniment. We’ve added decorative cocktail napkins and wine glass markers as well. Finish it off with delicious chocolate-dipped almond biscotti, California pistachios and chocolate truffles – heavenly!

What could be more romantic than champagne? Adding chocolate truffles to the gift! Our "Champagne and Truffles" gift set is the perfect romantic gift selection. Enjoy a superb bottle of wine along with sinfully rich Joseph Schmidt chocolate truffles.

The next time you’re looking for a romantic gift for that special person in your life, don’t just send flowers. Think outside the vase and send a romantic gift basket!
