http://www.lotsachocolates.com/chocolate/ Chocolate is one of the few words that creates universal appeal. With it roots in spirituality, romance and homeopathy, chocolate is more than just a great taste. en-us Tue, 19 Jun 2007 12:54:49 EDT Tue, 19 Jun 2007 12:54:49 EDT Weblog Editor 2.0 Hollywood and Chocolate One can imagine that chocolate played a part in some of Hollywood's greatest love affairs. And, whether you are a man or a woman, a chocolate treat is universally appealing. Imagine Joe DiMaggio or Arthur Miller wooing Marilyn Monroe with their own version of the romantic sweet. The options are never-ending (much like Joe's love for Marilyn). Joe may have given her a chocolate shaped baseball while the writer in Arthur could have inspired his own tribute in the form of a crucible shaped in the devilish treat. Imagine the chocolates that must have adorned Elizabeth Taylor's doorsteps. With her varied movie and television roles, she must have been plied with gifts ranging from National Velvet inspired chocolate horses to Egyptian chocolate creations inspired by Cleopatra. No wonder she put on a few pounds over the years--just like the rest of us! You needn't look to Hollywood to create your own chocolate experience. Look to your own imagination. Every loved one has their own list of ideas that make for the perfect chocolate gift. And, with the market for chocolate still growing at an amazing rate, the list of available chocolate items grows bigger everyday. Begin with what your loved one enjoys. Maybe they enjoy baking. If so, think about a selection of some of the most pure forms of baking chocolates. Maybe they enjoy sports. If so, it is very easy to find chocolate molded into the shape of just about everything from tennis rackets to golf and soccer balls. If you are feeling a bit more amorous, there is always the standard heart shaped gift. No matter what you are looking for in a gift, let your imagination dictate your choices. While chocolate, in itself, is a great gift idea, why not add your own special touch and show how much you care?
