Whether you are looking for an activity to keep the kids busy on a rainy afternoon, or a project that you and your child can do together, or something special that you can make for a friend on a limited budget spending a little time and a little money making homemade chocolate can really brighten your day, or your someone else’s.
Here are some easy and inexpensive ways that you can use homemade chocolates to brighten someone’s day:
- If you have been very busy lately and haven’t had a lot of time leftover to do things with your kids make a date to spend just an hour in the evening making homemade chocolates with them. The process of making chocolate is easy and fun and it will give you a chance to reconnect with your kids.
- Make some homemade chocolates in heart shapes after your spouse goes to bed and leave a small box of homemade candy tied with a red ribbon on his/her pillow the next morning.
- Surprise a co-worker that has been having a hard time adjusting to something at work with a “pick me up” gift box of homemade chocolates and some special tea and a mug.
- Leave some special homemade hot chocolate mixes in the break room at work so that everyone can enjoy a nice sweet treat in the afternoon.
- Send a small box of homemade chocolates in fun shapes to school with your kids for their teachers as a small “thank you” gift for no reason.
- When one of your friends has a bad breakup or has relationship problems leave a gift basket on her doorstep with some homemade chocolates, a DVD of her favorite movie, some wine, and new silk pajamas or a cozy bathrobe and slippers.
- Put some small, individually wrapped pieces of homemade chocolate in your child’s jacket pocket at random times.
- When you leave a tip for the waiter at your favorite restaurant or the barista that makes your coffee leave a few individually wrapped homemade chocolates too.
- Bring over some homemade hot chocolate and two mugs to a lonely neighbor, then sit down and talk and share the hot chocolate.
