Ghirardelli Gift Tower Review: The Safe Chocolate Gift?
A gold and blue tower of gift boxes from Wine Country Gift Baskets, filled with Ghirardelli squares, caramel minis, cookies and caramel corn. The chocolate gift that suits almost any host.
Yes, for a host, a family or a client who likes chocolate. The tower stays with one chocolate maker people know, from squares to dark chocolate caramel corn [1]. Skip it for a dark chocolate purist who buys single origin bars.

Pros and cons
- About a pound of food for the price [1]
- Crowd-pleasing rather than gourmet chocolate
- Mostly sweet, little savory
One chocolate maker, start to finish
Generic chocolate baskets often mix a few known names with waxy no-name candy. This tower sticks to Ghirardelli from top to bottom, which is why it is a safe gift [1].
Wine Country Gift Baskets assembles it, and the tower is one of its long-running best sellers on Amazon [1].
That consistency matters for a client or a host you do not know well. Nobody is disappointed to open a box of Ghirardelli.
It also solves a common problem with chocolate gifts: melting. A tower of boxed squares travels far better than a single large bar, and each box stays sealed until opened.
Squares, minis and caramel corn
The boxes hold milk and dark chocolate squares, dark chocolate drops, milk and dark caramel mini squares, chocolate chip cookies and dark chocolate caramel corn [1].
Ghirardelli has made chocolate in the USA since 1852, per the listing [1]. The tower is gold and blue, tied with a satin ribbon, and needs no wrapping [1].
A personalized gift message can be added at checkout [1].
A pound of chocolate, mostly sweet
The whole tower weighs about a pound, so you are paying for the presentation as much as the chocolate [1]. A big bag of Ghirardelli squares holds more for less.
It is also sweet from top to bottom. For a household that prefers savory, the Hickory Farms box in this guide is the better send, and a dark chocolate purist may find Ghirardelli too familiar.
There is little savory in the boxes beyond the caramel corn, so for a mixed crowd add a cheese or cracker gift alongside it.
Best for hosts and clients
Bring it to a holiday dinner, send it to a client or leave it for a neighbor who watched the house. The tower makes an entrance.
From this guide, it pairs with the A Gift Inside Classic Fresh Fruit Basket when you want sweet and fresh for the same family, or with the Taylors tea sampler for a tea and chocolate gift.
It also works as a group gift for a small team, since each box can go to a different desk.
