- Not sure of their taste? Go for a mixed selection with milk, dark and white chocolate.
- Buying for a chocolate fan? A box of truffles is a good choice.
- Buying for a crowd? A large sharing box, such as the 443g Lindt selection, goes further at a family gathering or in the office.
- Want a smaller gift? A 15-piece box is easier to post and works well as a thank-you.
- Check dietary needs. Read the ingredients and allergy information on the product page, especially for nuts, milk and gluten.
- Order early at busy times. Christmas, Valentine's Day and Mother's Day are the busiest, so allow extra time for delivery.
