Gourmet Chocolate Gift Basket in Keepsake Tin vs Wine Country Gourmet Choice Gift Basket

Buy the Bonnie and Pop's tin if the gift is for a chocolate lover and you want something that arrives ready to hand over. Its 15 pieces are all chocolate, kosher certified, and made in Belgium, and the square tin doubles as a keepsake. The Wine Country basket is the better pick when the recipient is a household or a colleague you don't know well: it spreads across coffee, tea, cheese spread, tapenade, brownies and cake, so there is something for most tastes. Reviewers of chocolate tins like this one praise the packaging and complain about melt risk in warm months; variety baskets get praised for breadth and dinged for small portions of each item.

• Choose the Bonnie and Pop's chocolate tin if the person you're gifting loves chocolate and you want a self-contained, ready-to-give package with a reusable tin.
• Choose the Wine Country Gourmet Choice basket if you're gifting a household, office or someone whose tastes you don't know, and you want a spread of coffee, tea, savory spreads and sweets.
