Chocolate Lover’s Gift Basket

A Chocolate Lover’s Gift Basket …
Godiva Chocolate & Godiva Liqueur

Although I have several gift ideas to share with you this year, my favorite of all was created just for me - "Alie’s Wishes". It’s a Chocolate Lover’s gourmet gift basket filled with Godiva liqueur and Godiva chocolates. I couldn’t believe one of my favorite companies created a Godiva Gift Basket just for me. It’s delightfully indulgent and deliciously decadent … exactly my kind of gift.  Click here to buy it!

 In my book, "The Ugly Duck Makeover", I present the case for treating ourselves to with Small Indulgences. Here’s an excerpt from Step 4, and it will show you why I’m so excited about offering this beautiful gourmet gift basket this year to my friends and family:

 

"Let me begin with my own example of a small luxury. This luxury would cost me about $10.00. First, I would go to the Godiva® Chocolate Store in my local mall, and buy a few chocolates. Then I’d go to my favorite coffee shop and buy a cup of rich, smoky coffee (in a mug, of course). I would find a little nook and spend 30 minutes savoring my treats - relishing the solitude, enjoying the flavor of the coffee, and the taste and texture of the chocolate.

 

 

The reason this qualifies as a gift of luxury is because I never take the time to do it. Every time I go to the mall, I pass by Godiva® and look in the window at their beautiful Gift Baskets and display of Chocolate Covered Strawberries. I always say to myself - "next time", or "I wish someone would give me a Gift Basket this year for the Holidays."

 

 

So, when I finally give myself permission "to indulge", it feels like a luxury. Once the permission is given and I commit myself to the purchase, my anticipation is great. I immediately begin to imagine the delicious treats of chocolates and coffee, and the few moments of reflection and relaxation that I will soon receive.

 

 

30 minutes … $10.00. Not much time, and not much money, but definitely a small luxury …" 

So, if you’re a Chocolate Lover, I hope you’ll enjoy my recommendation for this Gourmet Gift Basket of Godiva Chocolate and Godiva Liqueur. Let me know what you think! … Alie
