Chocolate Covered Strawberry Gifts: Sweet Treats for Any Occasion

Love Berries by Golden State Fruit earns praise for freshness—our experience shows the strawberries often arrive chilled with tidy, gift-ready packaging and glossy dark and white chocolate. At $44.95, it’s a sweet-spot pick for birthdays without going full luxury pricing. That said, we’ve seen the occasional underripe or smaller berry, and shipping hiccups can cause melted or scuffed coatings. To stack the odds in your favor, ship early in the week and deliver to a location where someone can refrigerate immediately.

If you’re sending a little pick-me-up, this half-dozen offers Belgian milk, white, and dark chocolate for a nice flavor spread at $47.99. Our experience shows FromYouFlowers’ next-day delivery and satisfaction guarantee make birthday timing easier, but substitutions or delays can happen under their logistics policies. With only six berries and common allergens like milk, eggs, soy, and nuts, it’s best for a single recipient rather than a crowd, and not ideal for sensitive eaters.

These 12-count Swizzle Berries nail the party-ready look at $48.63, with semi-sweet chocolate and crisp white swizzles that photographed beautifully in our testing. Sold by local favorite Fruits For Thoughts, we found delivery within the San Antonio area can be quicker, though availability and shipping are limited, and the site adds 8.25% sales tax. At roughly $4 per berry, they’re a splurge, so plan for refrigeration and tight timing to preserve freshness before your celebration.

For a romantic gesture on a budget, Shari’s Berries’ Love and Romance Dipped Strawberries start at $29.99 and arrive in a gift box with pretty red drizzles across milk and white chocolaty coatings. We like the flexibility of half, full, or two dozen sizes for date nights or parties. During our review, delivery timing proved hit-or-miss and some boxes arrived warm or scuffed, so consider earlier delivery and expedited shipping in hot weather—though fees can push the price above local options. Best when enjoyed the day they land.

Looking for a birthday-ready showpiece? FruitBouquets.com’s Doubly Delicious Happy Birthday arrangement layers half-dipped and fully dipped fruit—including strawberries and pineapple—in a reusable red melamine container that doubles as a keepsake. In our testing, the mix of textures feels celebratory and the presentation lands well for office or dorm surprises at $49.99. That said, our experience shows delivery can run late and fruit quality varies, so order early and allow a buffer if timing is critical, and consider contacting support proactively.

A Gift Inside’s Happy Birthday Chocolate Covered Strawberries look party-ready out of the box, with colorful drizzle, a bow, and a mix of dark, milk, and white chocolate for variety. In our testing, the insulated packaging and ice packs kept things cool, but a few berries arrived semi-frozen or sweaty, which can dull texture and shine. Let them temper in the fridge and then briefly at room temp before serving. At $44.95, it’s pricier than generic trays, but the presentation often wins over recipients.

This mixed set brings six Belgian chocolate-dipped strawberries plus four brownie pops, all artisan-decorated for a ready-to-party gift at $51.99. In our testing, the variety pleased different palates and FromYouFlowers’ next-day option made birthday timing easy, but the small count suits intimate celebrations more than groups. Keep in mind the strawberries are best within two days and the ingredient list covers many common allergens—egg, milk, soy, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, and coconut—so check dietary needs before you order.

Sam’s Club’s Golden State Fruit Celebration Chocolate Covered Strawberries arrive looking party-ready, with glossy dark, milk, and white coatings that plate beautifully. In our testing, the presentation hits above its $50.58 price for gifting, though freshness can be inconsistent—some buyers report soft or soggy berries. If you’re serving guests, schedule delivery close to the event and refrigerate immediately on arrival. DIY may be cheaper, but this set trades pennies for convenience and a polished, giftable unboxing experience.

For DIY dippers and bake shops, Ghirardelli’s dark wafers deliver that familiar flavor in bulk, with large bags at $108.49 offering solid value per ounce. During our review of buyer feedback, many praised smooth, reliable melts for strawberries and molds, though some batches proved stubborn or inconsistent between shipments. If you’re planning production, our experience shows it’s wise to test a small portion before a big run and watch for restocking gaps to avoid last-minute shortages.

For couverture fans, these Finest Belgian Dark Callets bring a balanced, full-bodied profile that elevates dipped strawberries, ganache, and sauces alike. During our review, we appreciated their versatility across confectionery projects and the Cocoa Horizons program’s commitment to sustainable, traceable cocoa. Just know the bags skew wholesale and the $78 price can feel steep for casual bakers; also plan temperature-controlled shipping or prompt delivery to avoid melting or bloom in warm climates.

Planning a chocolate-dipped strawberry night? The Cuisinart Electric Fondue Pot gives you precise control with an adjustable thermostat and comes with eight long forks, so everyone can dip without crowding. During our review, we found the nonstick, dishwasher-safe pot streamlined cleanup, but you’ll need to keep the cord/plug area dry and watch the fork ring, which can fit loosely—especially with hot oil. It can run hot, so start low and nudge upward to hit that silky chocolate sweet spot.

If you prioritize chocolate quality, Harry & David’s Belgian Chocolate Hand-Dipped Strawberries Medley feels indulgent, with a full dozen dipped for generous gifting or sharing. During our review, the Belgian chocolate stood out for snap and flavor, but the $59.99 price and perishable shipping push it into splurge territory. These are best eaten within 2–3 days, so coordinate delivery when the recipient is home. In warm weather, spring for faster shipping and immediate refrigeration to avoid soft coatings or damaged berries.

If you want a wow-factor gift, Compartes’ Gourmet Chocolate Covered Strawberry Box delivers with hand-dipped, artisanal berries and a No-Melt Guarantee via Next Day Air. In our testing, the glossy finish and balanced chocolate-to-fruit ratio felt boutique-level—perfect for birthdays or thank-you gifts. It’s a splurge at $69.95 for one dozen, and the next-day requirement limits flexibility, but our experience shows the quality control beats many mass-market options. Plan to refrigerate on arrival and enjoy within a couple days for peak flavor.

Sunny and elegant, these hand-dipped strawberries arrive in a polished gift box, each finished with milk and white Belgian chocolate for a photogenic bite. During our review, the presentation felt special and the flavors leaned classic, though the half-dozen size at $57.90 from Flowers Fast is better for a personal surprise than a party share, and same-day delivery isn’t available for last-minute gifting. Note the milk and soy allergens; if your recipient is sensitive, consider a different option or plan an alternative treat.

Harry & David’s hand-dipped Belgian dark chocolate strawberries lean luxe, delivering a rich, cocoa-forward bite with an elegant, gift-ready finish. In our testing, the six-count felt perfect for a romantic surprise, though at $49.99 it’s a small portion for sharing and the short refrigeration window means you’ll want to serve them quickly. Our review of recent feedback notes occasional shipping or condition concerns on fresh items, so schedule delivery carefully and consider a backup plan for time-sensitive celebrations.

When you want a showy dozen, these large, juicy strawberries arrive hand-dipped in dark, milk, and white chocolate with pretty drizzles that impress on the table. We found the $59.95 price easier to justify for milestone moments, but note that overnight, temperature-controlled shipping adds to the total and is worth choosing in warm weather. Our experience shows delivery can hiccup—some customers report late or failed arrivals—so build in extra time if you’re counting on them for an event.

Looking for a classic gift box? This 12-count from Fruit & Flowers Edibles coats each berry in traditional milk chocolate and arrives ready to hand over at $49.99. During our review, we liked the shareable count and simple flavor profile, but the per-berry price is higher than bulk options and warm-weather shipping can be risky—so add cooling, request prompt delivery, and plan to enjoy them quickly since chocolate-dipped fruit is best within a day or two.

For a birthday splash, this combo pairs about a dozen chocolate-covered strawberries with a themed cake and chocolate letters, creating a centerpiece that looks almost too pretty to slice. In our testing, the presentation felt turnkey and on-theme, perfect when you want an instant celebration in a box. At $106.58 it’s pricey for 12 berries, and the perishable nature means tight timing—so plan refrigeration and serve soon, especially if you’re hosting more than a small group.
