Parents and gift-givers are embracing creative and personalized chocolate treats, with two main trends capturing attention: elaborate, pre-ordered chocolate boxes and innovative DIY chocolate hampers and bouquets.
One such phenomenon is the impressive fold-out chocolate boxes crafted by savvy entrepreneur Diane Webster, who runs 'My Kind of Flowers.' These highly sought-after boxes are designed to offer a unique festive experience. Each box, priced at £45 plus a £5 postage fee, contains four layers brimming with an assortment of popular chocolate bars and sweets. Inside, recipients will discover treats like Double Deckers, Crunchie bars, Fudge, Twisted, Freddos, Milky Way bars, and Kinder chocolates.
