Chocolate is a popular gift for all occasions. Luxury chocolates are particularly sought after because of their more refined flavours and the way they melt in your mouth. One question that many men ask is why women love chocolate so much? What makes chocolate such a great gift for her?

Chocolate and Your Emotions

The first thing to remember is that chocolate is considered to be an aphrodisiac. Phenylethylamine is a substance found in chocolate and it has been known to promote those feelings of excitement, attraction and even giddiness.

Magnesium can also be found in chocolate which can help calm those PMS symptoms. So, when you notice a mood change or when she is clearly craving chocolate, you know what to do! Buy a delicious chocolate gift right away and you will show her that you really care.

Luxury VS Cheap

All chocolate is not made equal, however, and if you want to treat a loved one, you should always shop for luxury chocolates rather than the cheapest chocolates you can find at your local supermarket. Cheap chocolate can leave an unpleasant taste and feeling in your mouth whereas quality chocolates are a true treat.

Caffeine Boost

Chocolate contains caffeine so, if you enjoy coffee in the morning, you most likely enjoy the boost you get out of eating your favourite chocolate. Not to mention the fact that chocolate can help boost your concentration when you feel that afternoon slump.

Serotonin and Endorphins

Last, but not least, chocolate also contains tryptophan which is a chemical the brain uses to produce serotonin. Serotonin causes the secretion of endorphins which give you that elated feeling.

While chocolates are most often thought of as a gift for her, there is no reason you cannot spoil him with luxury chocs too! If he has a sweet tooth, he will love a chocolate hamper just as much as you do!
