14 Fail-Safe Christmas Gifts For Chocolate Lovers
It’s no secret we love chocolate here at The Handbook and *spoiler alert* we eat it far too often. But, when we’re looking for something really special, whether that’s for ourselves or to gift loved ones, there’s one brand we return to time and time again, and that’s Hotel Chocolat.
In Partnership With Hotel Chocolat
They are the master chocolatiers when it comes to flavour, innovation and beautiful gifts and this festive season, we have a Christmas list full of their products. Scroll on to find out all about their incredible new collection, which is bursting with gift ideas for those tricky recipients whom you never know what to buy…
To gift the whole family…The Grand Wreath Box
When the Christmas wreaths start to be put up, we really know the festive season is here. But what is better than a gorgeously festive, fern and berry-adorned wreath? A wreath made of chocolate. Yes, the geniuses at Hotel Chocolat have let their imaginations run wild and created the Yuletide favourite but with edible decorations. Lift the lid and dive into 84 chocolates that celebrate the magic of the festive season – from carefully sculpted chocolate wreaths to festive tipples and desserts reimagined in chocolate form. We couldn’t think of a better sweet treat to indulge in during the fuzzy interlude between Christmas and New Year.

For the Christmas table… The Rather Large Chocolate Cracker
If you come from a family of chocoholics, this is the gift to bring to the table this year. Coming in at over two feet long, Hotel Chocolat’s aptly named Rather Large Chocolate Cracker is a feast for the eyes, the imagination and, most importantly, the taste buds. Snap it open (it has a real snap like a real cracker, FYI) to find a cornucopia of curiosity inside, including 40 chocolates, 12 paper hats and jokes – paper crowns and giggle-worthy puns to mark the start of a Christmas dinner to remember. Beats another bottle opener or mini tool set any day.
A quirky centerpiece for your Christmas table.
For the family chocoholics…Hotel Chocolat Gift Sets
Every family has one member who loves chocolate beyond the realms of imagination. If you’re tasked with buying them their Christmas present this year, we know exactly what they will love. Hotel Chocolat’s gift sets are second to none, bursting with a delectable edit of charming, unique and tasty chocolate. Starting with the Classic Christmas Sleekster – updated for 2024, the box comprises 28 classic comforts and dreamy seasonal additions, from Hazelnut Praline to the cult hero Caramel Clementine Supernova. And for those who love desserts, check out The Winter Puddings Sleekster, a box of chocolate-shaped delights inspired by some of our favourite Yuletide puddings. There’s everything from Christmas Mess (a riff on the classic Eton) to seasonal Gooseberry Crumble and retro Treacle Tart.
Something a little different…The Velvetiser
There’s nothing quite like a warm, rich and frothy hot chocolate in the depths of winter but it’s hard to make a good one at home. That is unless you have Hotel Chocolat’s innovative Velvetiser. The machine helps you create barista-grade liquid chocolate velvet in just two and a half minutes and has gained countless five-star reviews online. Simply add milk, sprinkle single-serve sachet, press the button, then 2.5 minutes later, pour. Heaven in a cup.
There’s a reason it has countless 5 star reviews.
