Sparking a Connection with Lindt Hello Chocolate

I'm ecstatic to partner with Lindt to help introduce their hip and trendy line of HELLO premium chocolate. I've actually purchased this chocolate several times to use as gifts because I'm drawn to the eye-catching packaging, cheeky language and enticing flavors.

When they reached out and asked me to reflect on how I can spark a connection with someone and say HELLO, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I remember my first HELLO with my husband. I sat next to him in my college sociology class because he was the cutest boy in the room. Who knew eight years later that cute boy would be my husband?!?

Because my husband and I are on very different work schedule, sometimes I feel like I barely get to see him. I thought about how I could spark some excitement in his day even while not being there in person. Using the line of Lindt HELLO Chocolates, I created a little goody bag to insert a surprise HELLO into his work bag. I can't wait to see what sweet text I receive when he discovers this surprise. Aren't surprise gifts the best?

The current line comes in several delicious flavors: 

• Caramel Brownie (My personal favorite!) - Smooth milk chocolate, hazelnut and caramel brownie filling 
• Strawberry Cheesecake - Rich milk chocolate and light and fluffy strawberry cream cheese filling
• Crunchy Nougat - Smooth milk chocolate 
• Cookies & Cream - Chocolate chip cookie pieces and cream filling 

What's also awesome about the line is that you can choose your size! Pick from bars, sticks or even cute little mini sticks to find a sweet treat that's just right.

For my husband's surprise pack, I included all flavors and all sizes. This way he can pick his favorites. 

Is there someone you've been wanting to say HELLO to in a subtle, but sweet way? HELLO chocolates make the perfect introduction. You'll have to check out the "It All Started With HELLO" web-series produced by Ashley Tisdale for situations in which chocolate helps with HELLO. My favorite video in the series hinges on the workplace romance. Nothing likes savoring a little gifted chocolate at your desk!
