Buy something gorgeous.....
Firstly, let's begin with a few suggestions for outstanding, online suppliers. In my estimation, these chocolatiers are amongst the very best in the world. They all offer exceptional, gourmet quality products and world-class, reliable service. Not only do they all offer the perfect Valentines chocolate gift but also many other seasonal luxury offerings throughout the year.
- Dean & Deluca
An astonishing collection of beautifully crafted chocolates with seasonal specialties. Do check out their wonderful exclusive range of signature chocolates created by Christopher Norman. Delivery is within the USA only. More information.......
 Definitely Chocolate
The range and quality of these exquisite chocolates is very impressive and bring together the flavors and textures of both Europe and Australia. Delivered anywhere within Australia.
- Godiva Chocolatier
A unique collection of chocolates with extraordinary richness and design, passion and purity. It's not surprising that Godiva Chocolatier, one of the creators of the world's most elegant, hand-crafted chocolates, originated in Brussels, Belgium.....the true home of the finest chocolate. Godiva Boutiques are now available in 80 countries worldwide. Shipping in the USA & Canada only.
- Hotel Chocolat

- The NEW YORK FIRST Company
 For a refreshingly unique Valentines chocolate gift idea, this online supplier is the perfect choice. Worthy of note is the Li-Lac Chocolate Shop which has lightened the hearts and thickened the waists of New Yorkers since 1923! Quirky and slightly retro, this on-line store is an absolute delight to surf and browse. International delivery.
- zChocolat.com

Make something gorgeous.....
If you have the time (and the inclination!) a hand-made Valentines chocolate gift is a wonderful way to show just how much you care. And making truly decadent gourmet confectionery is not at all difficult. It simply requires a some forward planning, a little bit of effort, and some imagination!
- My suggestion is a beautifully decorated box of irresistible, home-made Chocolate Truffles. This particular recipe is possibly the easiest that I have ever come across, and yet the result, is really quite sublime!
- Just as important as the chocolates, is of course the gift wrapping! Buy the very nicest gift box that you can afford - one that will take a single layer. If you really want to impress, look out for a heart shaped box, and always finish the box with a beautiful bow and perhaps a silk rose for a truly romantic finishing touch.
- These wonderful little chocolate truffles will only keep for about three days in the refrigerator but if necessary, can be made further ahead and then frozen.
- If on the other hand, you really don't have quite enough time for making truffles, then a great alternative Valentine's gift would be Chocolate Dipped Strawberries. These can literally be prepared in minutes. Simply refrigerate until required before placing in individual sweet paper cases and box as described above.
How easy was that!
The mark of fine quality chocolates.....
Truly fine chocolates have several characteristics in common: they are always fresh; contain high quality ingredients such as premium cocoa beans and dairy butter; are usually less sweet and feature unusual textures and natural flavors. Consequently, their taste differs greatly from less expensive chocolates, which tend to use artificial flavors and preservatives to achieve a longer shelf-life.
I hope that this information will be useful to you when you are next considering buying a Valentines chocolate gift. But do remember to come back and check out any of the above sites for other chocolate-giving occasions like Mother's Day or Easter. You will always find some fabulous creations to satisfy even the most discerning chocolate lover!
ENJOY!
