What to bring as a Halloween hostess gift?

By
Real Estate Agent with Compass CA DRE# 01215160

Finding a great Halloween hostess gift is no problem here.

I'm not the crafty type, and I have very little free time, but I know just what to do, and I don't call Ghost Busters!

Sweet55 Halloween fine chocolate lollies

No, I simply call Sweet55 Swiss Desserts Silicon Valley and place an order!

Today was pickup day for me. I ordered these lollipops, which come packaged two to a bag, and a couple of boxes of her fine confections.

Sweet 55 chocolates

A box went to my sellers today, when I was at their place meeting the painter and the cleaner -- a perfect gift to "sweeten" their stressful days while preparing their house for the market. It's hard work, and a gift of chocolates acknowledges and validates the difficult job they are undertaking.

One lollipop packet went out this evening as a thank you to my daughter and son-in-law, who do so many delightful things for us.

Several others will go to service people in our building as little unexpected thank you gifts.

A couple more will be used as "pop by" gifts for past clients, and to a wonderful referral source.

And--one packet definitely will go to an awesome Realtor® and firefighter who lives in our building. (More later, a post of its own, about the excitement in our building today, and how Rob helped calm the fears and offer reassurance to a person stuck in the elevator, when the fire alarms blared suddenly this afternoon and the rest of us evacuated the building! It all ended well.)

If you're not in the San Francisco-Silicon Valley area, you can still treat yourself to a visual display and online tour of Sweet55-Swiss Desserts Silicon Valley.

Chocolate anyone? Cute or classic, crafted with love, always delectable.

Chocolate-the perfect Halloween hostess gift! And for those really special client parties, or special events, check out Ursula's Sweet55 chocolate buffet!

Good morning Lottie. I don't know too many people that don't love chocolate, so impossible to go wrong. This place sounds like a wonderful way to take care of anyone that deserves a gift.

Make it a great weekend!
