Gift Ideas with Gold Chocolate Coins You Can Do at Home

Chocolate is an eternal favorite when it comes to gifts. Whatever the occasion, chocolate pieces make for excellent (not to mention delectable) souvenirs or gift tokens. A new concept that’s getting popular now is called chocolography, the art of affixing colored images on slabs of chocolate --- all of which can be eaten, of course.

For people who are not capable of spending much on such special gift items, and for those who only intend to give out a few of them, it will be most advantageous if you’ll simply make your own gift ideas with gold chocolate coins. This way, you can put in a personal touch that will make the gifts even more special and meaningful.

Here are several do-at-home gift ideas using chocolate coins:

Chocolate Coin Lollipops

Making these lollipops takes no time at all. You can even get your kids to make these with you. Don’t peel off the gold wrapper as you pierce the side of the coin with a toothpick, reaching up to 2/3 of its diameter. Give the toothpick a couple of twists to make a narrow, circular tunnel. Afterward, get a stiff, sharp-tipped, clear straw and insert it in the hole to create the lollipop’s handle.

There will be no need to individually re wrap these lollipops since the gold wrapper will be preserved. Distribute the candies in boxes or small baskets padded with colored tulle and a bow, and then you can finally give them out to special friends.

Lego Chocolate Coins

This doesn’t work in exactly the same way as Lego, but they are basically similar. By stacking of wrapped chocolate coins together to form figures and locking them in place using toothpicks, you could end up creating replicas of the Eiffel and the Pyramids. Imagination and huge effort are needed to create recognizable figures out gold chocolate coins; and you will be rewarded with sincere gratitude from the people who will receive them.

Personalize the Packaging

You can do other alternatives for fancy gift ideas like chocolography. For example, if there are anniversaries, birthdays, and other celebrations for which you want to make tokens, print out circular stickers with images and messages commemorating the event. Attach these stickers on each individually-wrapped gold chocolate coin.

Why not give more effort on your gifts and tokens and repackage the chocolates by yourself? Pile a couple or more chocolate coins and cover them in foil to make one thick coin. Then, place them in cute boxes or wrap them in colored tulle paper tied with thin ribbons. Total control over the design, colors, materials, and whatnot that can help create a unique gift is all in your hands.

Anybody can come up with a number of gift ideas with gold chocolate coins. Usually, the best ideas are those that come up unexpectedly. Put those ideas to the test. There’s a saying that goes, it’s the thought that counts; but truly, the effort involved makes a present even more treasured.
