# Chocolate Postcards Send a Loving and Sweet Message and Gift While Traveling By Marissa Liu | Published 2010-02-28 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-postcards References: [ruizcompany](http://www.ruizcompany.com/index.php?/work/chocolat-factory/) & [chocolatfactory](http://www.chocolatfactory.com/) I love getting postcards-it's like getting a present in the form of a hand-written message. My favorite postcards are usually from [fun, sunny, jealousy-inducing beach destinations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postcards-from-peets) but if I ever received one of these chocolate postcards designed by Ruiz + Company for Chocolat Factory, they would quickly shoot to the top of that list. We aren't sure if the different locations have unique and varying flavours, but we can be sure that anyone would be pleasantly surprised to find chocolate postcards in their mail box. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Edible Messages:** The concept of edible postcards opens up opportunities for personalized messages combined with a tasty treat, disrupting the traditional greeting card industry. - **Interactive Gifts:** Combining the experience of receiving a postcard with the enjoyment of indulging in chocolate creates an interactive gift trend, presenting disruptive innovation opportunities in the gifting industry. - **Destination-inspired Flavors:** Exploring the possibility of creating unique flavors for different locations on postcards introduces a new dimension to the confectionery industry, allowing for customized taste experiences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Greeting Card:** The concept of edible postcards poses a disruptive innovation opportunity for the greeting card industry, offering a new and tasty way to deliver personalized messages. - **Gift:** The combination of a postcard and chocolate creates an interactive gift trend, presenting disruptive innovation opportunities in the gift industry to enhance customer experiences. - **Confectionery:** Creating destination-inspired flavors for postcards brings disruptive innovation opportunities for the confectionery industry, allowing for unique and customized taste experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bite-Sized Dubai-Style Chocolate Gifts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dubai-chocolate-gift-box.md) - [Hand-Painted Vegan Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painted-with-love-chocolate-bon-bons.md) - [Valentine’s Day-Themed Candy Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-letters-a-candy-tasting-collection.md) - [Luxurious Chocolate Tasting Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-coffee-tasting.md) - [Romantic Specialty Candy Gifts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolove-valentines-day.md) - [Romance Novel-Inspired Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-romance-collection.md) - [Pickle-Flavored Chocolate Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pickle-flavored-chocolate-bar.md) - [Precious Chocolate Lockets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolocket.md) - [Edible Chocolate Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-puzzles.md)
