World's Finest Chocolates

My husband and I have been blessed with many things to make our life happy and full. We have a strong committed relationship, we have raised healthy successful independent children, and we have financial security. We were reflecting on this the other day when we were trying to come up with a unique gift idea for our friends.

When we were first married, we struggled financially for several years. One couple that we were friends with in college remain our best friends today. Through the years we have both been blessed with financial security. This is wonderful; however gift giving ideas were much easier to come up with when we were both struggling financially. In those days a cheap bottle of wine and a certificate for a delivery pizza seemed like manna from heaven. Now that we are in a position to be able to buy what we need and want, it is not as easy to come up with ideas. I was watching a cooking show the other day and the chef was talking about the worlds finest chocolates. He and his guest were having a disagreement on what which country has the worlds finest chocolates. Their discussion made me think of our friends and their love of chocolates.

I went on the internet and found that there are chocolate samplers that can be purchased that have a variety of chocolates in them. I then came across a site that was advertising different chocolates from several different countries. It was a club to join or give a membership for. Each month the worlds finest chocolates are shipped to the club member. If there is a holiday in the particular month that is featured, however the main reason for the membership is to have a sampling of the different chocolates from around the world. I thought that this would make a great gift for our friends. I liked the idea that they would be getting something each month instead of one large amount at the holiday time. The advertisement for the membership promised eating as well as cooking chocolates would be sent. There would also be an order form as well as a critic form so that you could keep track of which of the worlds finest chocolates were your favorites, and have the chance to order more. I shared the information with my husband and he agreed that this would be a fun gift to give to our friends. My hope is that they will want to share some of the wonderful chocolates that they will be sent.
