What to Write in a Chocolate Gift Card: 24 Ideas

A good chocolate gift card message says why you are thinking of the recipient. One or two sincere sentences are enough: name the occasion, add a personal detail and sign your name.

Use the 24 ideas below as starting points. Change a word, mention a shared memory or add the person's name so the message sounds like you.

Birthday messages

• Happy birthday! Here is a little something to enjoy while you celebrate.
• Wishing you a wonderful birthday and an excellent excuse to put your feet up.
• A few chocolates for one of my favourite people. Happy birthday!
• Another year of good stories and great company. Here is to plenty more.

Thank-you messages

• Thank you for making a busy week feel a little easier. I really appreciate it.
• A small thank-you for a very big kindness.
• For all the time and care you put in, thank you. These are for you to enjoy.
• You went out of your way to help, and it meant a lot. Thank you.

Messages for someone you love

• For our next night in. I cannot promise I will be good at sharing.
• I saw these and thought of you. That is the whole reason.
• A little reminder that you are loved, today and every day.
• My favourite part of the day is the part I spend with you.

Congratulations messages

• You worked so hard for this. Congratulations, and enjoy a well-earned treat.
• Wonderful news deserves a little celebration. So happy for you!
• Here is to your next chapter. I cannot wait to see what comes next.
• Congratulations! Take a moment to enjoy everything you have achieved.

Thinking-of-you messages

• No special occasion. I just wanted to send something that might brighten your day.
• Thinking of you and sending a little treat for a quiet moment.
• Wish we could catch up over these in person. Until then, sending you lots of love.
• A small parcel to say you have been on my mind. No need to reply.

Christmas and end-of-year messages

• Wishing you a lovely Christmas, good company and time to enjoy it all.
• A little something for the holiday table. Merry Christmas from all of us.
• Thank you for being part of our year. Wishing you a happy and restful break.
• Here is to a wonderful year ahead and a few quiet moments before it begins.

How to make a short message more personal

Replace a general phrase with something only you would write. “Thank you for your help” becomes “Thank you for the airport run and the very early start.” “Thinking of you” becomes “These are for your Sunday afternoon with a book.”

Keep the tone close to how you normally speak. If the recipient is having a difficult time, a simple, low-pressure note is often more comfortable than an instruction to cheer up. If several people are sending the gift, name everyone or use a group name the recipient will recognise.

Before you send your chocolates

Check the spelling of the recipient's name, include your own name and review the message before placing the order. Follow the gift-message instructions shown for your chosen product or at checkout. For help with a special request, contact Schoko at info@schokochocolates.com.
