Choosing a chocolate gift box
A good chocolate gift box holds a few really good bars rather than a tray of fillers. Supermarket selection boxes are cheaper, so a craft box earns its place on cocoa quality, flavour and the story behind it. Look for a named origin, a short ingredient list and a tasting order if it is a sampler. Firetree makes the chocolate here, with dark chocolate tasting bar gift boxes, a Great Taste Award gift box and a With Love gift box. A dark chocolate gift box makes an easy Christmas present for anyone who prefers less sugar. Every product here met our standard on ingredients and transparency.
Food hampers for Christmas
Food hampers make a generous Christmas gift because they suit a whole household. Firetree makes The Ultimate Celebration Hamper, and Big Nose and Beardy makes a Sussex foodie hamper with local produce. Look for a hamper filled with things people will eat and drink over the holidays rather than novelty extras, and check the contents on each listing. So Just Shop makes a sugar and spice gift set for bakers. A hamper that matches the person, such as cheese and cider for a food lover or chocolate for someone with a sweet tooth, always lands better than a generic box.
Cider hamper and artisan food hamper
A cider hamper pairs craft cider with cheese or chocolate for a tasting at home. Big Nose and Beardy makes a cider and cheese tasting hamper and a chocolate and cider pairing box, made with its own Sussex cider. An artisan food hamper like these suits anyone who likes to know where their food comes from, and makes a good thank you for hosts over Christmas.
