Every year as December draws near, I find myself writing out the same old lists of gift ideas for those near and dear to me.
The same old whisky and socks for Dad, diary for Mum...make up for my sister...
And although those tried and tested gifts are always gratefully received, I always have that desire to do something a bit different...and instead of buying the things they all "Need", indulging them in something they want instead.
Something a bit decadent...something that's a bit of an indulgent treat....perhaps something they probably wouldn't usually buy for themselves, not because they don't want it but because there's always someone else to spend the money on, always someone to put first.
This year I decided I was going to do just that...I wanted to spoil them a little and so I've been on the hunt for a gift that will do just that...and I think I've found it!
Rather than something practical and "useful" this Christmas, I'm going to be gifting them something more indulgent...more desirable...and more downright delicious!
Under the Christmas tree this year, they'll find these gorgeously festive boxes of yum from my personal favorite chocolatier...Hotel Chocolat.
I've been a fan of Hotel Chocolat for years, infact earlier this year I even joined their Tasting Club (you receive a box of chocolates every month to try out and give your feedback on, it's AMAZING...highly recommended if you're a bit of a chocoholic too!) - so I knew that they wouldn't let me down when it came to finding the perfect gift to spoil my loved ones.
The Hotel Chocolat christmas shop is full of deliciously indulgent treats and the most amazing gift boxes and hampers, you'll be totally spoiled for choice...but one that's sure to suit all tastes is this:
The Classic Christmas Chocolate Sleekster is full of deliciously festive delights including caramel spruce trees, chocolate reindeer, mulled wine baubles and deliciously moreish snowballs to name just a few. Every flavor is simply wonderful, and there's something about the snap in the chocolate that lets you know this is high quality - not your average box of supermarket choccies!
My personal favorite though has to be the award winning Treacle Tart - decadent sticky toffee with a hint of lemon encased in chocolate pastry and topped with cornflakes for that classic crunch. Simply delicious!
At just £22.50 the Classic Christmas Collection doesn't break the bank, but the quality of the contents and the sleek classic design of the box really does make it a gift that stands out - something that's sure to get you onto everybody's nice list for 2018!
