Lindt chocolate gift ideas for customers, friends, and family

Chocolate as gift for holidays and all year

Giving chocolate as a gift is well-accepted for businesses and families during the Christmas holidays, Valentines Day, and all year long.

Other than Hershey’s and Nestle’s chocolate, I’ve not paid much attention to chocolate brands. But when I tasted both the Lindt Hazelnut chocolate and the Lindor Truffles I looked at the brand name carefully. I was already familiar with Toblerone which has a flavor similar to Nestle’s.

I had received chocolate as a gift from a Swiss pastor and his family studying in Pasadena. He gave us Lindt Lindor Truffles, Lindt “Class Recipe” Hazelnut, and Toblerone. One way to buy Lindt chocolate is to bid via eBay in the link box below.

Lindt Chocolate Truffles and Hazelnut Bar

They were wonderful. He gave us the chocolate treats as a “thank you” for providing camping equipment while he went camping with fellow Hubber Jason Matthews, who was staying with us for several weeks.

Lindt Chocolate is available through Amazon for convenient online shopping.The bags can be bought separately or purchase a pack of 12 bags for less than $4.00 per bag.

The Lindor Truffles are terrific. The chocolate is milky and creamy. The filling is smooth as it says on the bag, but it’s not an overly sweet filling and it’s definitely not cherry.

Here’s Lindt describes the truffles: “This delicious Lindt Chocolate shell enrobes an irresistibly smooth filling. Once you break its shell, the filling will start to melt and so will you.”

Lindt has a clever slogan on the bag: “160 years of our passion all for that one moment of yours.”

Lindt chocolate is definitely a flavor I can recommend.

The packaging is attractive as well and the Lindt bag with its see-through window can be used for other small gifts. It’s definitely classy.

Lindt Chocolate Truffles are an affordable way to say "thank you." Nice packaging, too.

Reasons for chocolate gift giving

Be careful, Lindt Truffles are 220 calories for 3 balls. So eat them one day at a time! Preferably with someone whose company you enjoy. There are 12 balls in a 5.1 ounce bag.

The Lindt Hazelnut bar is 4.4 ounces. 10 squares have 230 calories. The hazelnut bar is available for less than $3 per bar.

Toblerone is also a wonderful chocolate gift to give. The bar is a triangular-shaped chocolate that contains milk, soy, almond and egg. One-third of the bar is 170 calories.

Chocolate can say thanks for many reasons

Referring customers

Give a Lindt Lovers Chocolate Gift Basket via Amazon for customers or others who make business referrals.

Rewarding good grades

Give a Lindt assorted truffle bag via Amazon to reward good grades.

Having personally tasted it, I can say Lindt chocolate is definitely a high quality taste and well packaged for a classy appearance.

Well done Don and a great chocolate to write about though I don't have the will power to limit myself to just one truffle per day...lol

Richard, I don't have the will power, either. We were given the bag last Saturday and I've eaten almost all of them! Uh, I'll call it research! Glad to have you comment.

I love Lindt truffles and chocolates. Another great chocolate is Leonidas chocolates which I think are more known in Europe then here. They have a wonderful variety of truffles and cream centers just like Lindt..

Don Simkovich Hub Author 22 months ago

I'm not sure if I've heard of Leonidas or not. I'll look for it. I wonder how their cream centers taste? Lindt is very smooth. I know I don't like cherry cream centers typically. Thanks for the comment, scia.

Hi, Don - you're right on the mark about Lindt chocolate. It is DELICIOUS! And since we've learned that dark chocolate may even be healthy for us, we can eat it with less guilt.

I've always believed that chocolate is one of the major food groups and even wrote a hub about it: "Chocolate Benefits, Facts and Fun."

Thanks for the reinforcement.

Hi Don

You've chosen a topic very close to my heart as I adore chocolate. Eating chocolate is an extremely sensual sensation and this is why it is also often given as a gift to your lover or partner.

What I need is a zero fat low sugar version!

I love Lindt chocolates! Much better than Godiva, in my opinion. Nice hub. :-)

Don Simkovich Hub Author 22 months ago

Thanks, WordPlay. I should force myself to do a chocolate taste test of different brands and write about it! Oh, wouldn't that be sweet!

Taniel, I do like chocolate but I don't eat as much as I once did. I did buzz through the Lindt truffles we were given. I probably ate them too fast!
