Good news for retailers: The “chocolate holiday” will bring a welcomed lift in sales from dedicated chocolatiers, as lovers everywhere celebrate Valentine’s Day.
The economy aside, in honor of the occasion, here’s a handy guide for shipping those sweet, chocolate confections to your special someone.
Choose a spacious box when packing your gift. Now place sufficient padding on all sides. Bubble wrap is an excellent choice; it will protect the package. Now you’re ready to wrap your gift.
Here’s one of the ‘cool’ things about this winter holiday: You don’t have to worry so much about your package suffering a meltdown from high summer temps. Few heat waves pop up in February in the U.S. On the down side, bitterly cold temperatures in some areas can degrade the quality of the chocolate. It’s best to insulate fine chocolate candies from these cold temperatures.
The most important item to pack is the greeting card! Guys, put some thought into it before you pen that missive. Be your authentic self and write down what’s in your heart. But whatever you do, don’t be blunt. Be a little bit corny — that’s okay. Penning just three words on the greeting card: That’s not okay.
Lastly, here’s a tip to add a little romance. Read some love poetry before you commit your thoughts to paper. That will give you some fresh inspiration!
Ladies, remember that your special guy will enjoy a delicious surprise just as much as you do.
Have a Happy Valentine’s Day!
