this is for a (late )christmas present.. i bought some ferroro rocher chocolate for my friend. it was cheap and i don't feel comfortable just giving her chocolate.. i only got it cause i had no clue what to get her and she loves chocolate and candy. and it just seems too bland to give her just a small bell shape rocher chocolate. is there any ideas i can add to give with the chocolate? a budget of around maybe $10?

A no fail gift is to get a cute mug (which can be found anywhere. We picked a nice one up at a dollar store and gave it as a gift and the lady absolutely loved it) for the person and maybe fill it with some tea bags, hot chocolate mix, coffee packets or little candies. Then you can put it in a small basket (or not if you don't have a basket) and wrap it with clear plastic and tie the top with some ribbon. Voila! You've made your own gift basket without breaking the bank!

If she loves chocolate, why not skip the ferroro rocher and buy her a five-pound box of Russell Stover or Whitman's assorted chocolates instead? Or give her the rocher chocolate and get her a box of assorted flavored coffees or teas. Starbucks has a nice assortment for around $9 or $10. There are many items on sale after Christmas, so maybe you can give her one of those gift boxes of bath products for around that price. Walmart has some really nice gift assortments on sale. I was there today, and most of their gift sets are half price, and weren't very expensive to begin with. In fact, a lot of their items are on sale. Check the clearance aisles. They also have some nice fresh flowers or plants, but stay away from the wilted poinsettias. Good luck!

A Case OF Strawberrys and a bottle of Sparkling Vino or Champangne,
A brand of Ground Coffee, Gloria Jeans Coffee Bean or Starbucks...usually 8.99 w /a gift card 5.00
Or even better Hallmark has sentimental plaques for your best friend or personalized giftds in all shapes and sizes try them out these inspirations come from the heart so you have a variety of items to choose on a budget.
Really make a great impression for a late gift it shows the thought you put into it always choose creativity with or with out the money and write on gift card:
"Much sweeter to gift the best person for last" muah
Good Luck
Happy Holiday's & Happy New Year 2007

Give a gift basket with some things that go well with chocolate ... peanut butter or something a little more exotic like hazlenut butter, and maybe some oranges. Fresh oranges go really well with chocolate. Another idea which I did this holiday season was to give the chocolate with marshmallows and graham crackers to make s'mores. And I learned that you can microwave a s'more in 5 seconds! You could do a gift basket with some or all of these things, and your friend will love it.

If she loves chocolate, you might personalize the gift a little by adding a really cute mug & a couple envelopes of gourmet hot chocolate, available in better grocery stores or most coffee houses-- a mini Chocolate Basket! put some nice tissue or clear wrap & a ribbon around it and you're all set.

Chocolate goes well with coffees and teas. A good book to curl up with on the couch while eating those delectables is also nice, or a CD of soothing tunes.

Everything goes with chocolate. How about a Blockbuster(?) gift certificate?
