Shopping with Chocolate Trading Company
Choosing a gift box
If you want something to hand over rather than post, the Superior Selection gift boxes are the easiest place to start. The site lists assorted, mostly dark, mostly milk and no-alcohol options, so you can match the box to the recipient's taste rather than guessing. The no-alcohol box is worth a look if the person you're buying for avoids alcohol-flavoured chocolate.
Making a box personal
The personalisation service adds a printed sleeve on metallic paper to a Superior Selection box. Designs are split into classic, Christmas, Father's Day, Valentine's, Mother's Day and Easter themes, so seasonal gifts are easy to pick. The personalised version is the one to choose if you need a card-free gift with a message on the box itself.
Baking and drinking chocolate
If you bake or make hot drinks, the site separates couverture, cocoa powder, chocolate chips and drinking chocolate. Callebaut is sold in larger bundles, which suits bakers who go through chocolate regularly. Cocoa powder and drinking chocolate are useful for a treat for yourself rather than a present.
Business and bulk orders
The business side of the range covers branded chocolate bars, boxes and sweets for corporate gifts and events. If you're ordering for a team or a client, check the personalisation options on the business pages before settling on a standard box.
