Corporate stocking fillers: petite treats for employees

Christmas Gift Ideas

Delight your employees with some festive cheer — in the form of luxurious, sustainable chocolate

If your team has been working hard this year, Christmas is the prime time to show them your appreciation. Why not choose some small gifts for your employees to wish them a very merry Christmas? And you don’t need to blow the budget to show your festive generosity. Simply gifting petite treats, and a handwritten card can be the perfect holiday send-off. Make this year’s corporate stocking fillers truly luxurious with Hotel Chocolat.

Corporate stocking fillers

Our Stocking Fillers collection is a great place to start if you’re in the market for some petite chocolate gifts. Still, when it comes to workplace gifting, these are our top picks…

From chocolate penguins, reindeer, and spruces to small chocolate boxes, we think every option here would make fantastic corporate stocking fillers.

Petite penguin chocolates

Nothing says Christmas quite like our chocolate penguins, so see if our Jolly Penguin Selector fits your vision for your work gifting. Your employees will be delighted to find six jolly chocolate penguins donning the sweetest yellow boots. Plus, they’re made from molten caramel and wrapped in scrumptious 40% milk chocolate, so you can rest assured that they taste absolutely delectable.

Sticking with the penguin theme, you could also treat them to our Dozen Portly Chocolate Penguins with extra cute white chocolate tummies or our Posse of Penguins.

Alternatively, wrap up our single Milk Chocolate Jolly Penguin — he is hollow on the inside and crafted using our signature 40% milk chocolate. He also comes in caramel or white chocolate.

Chocolate reindeer

Can you hear those sleigh bells ringing? We also have our Sleigh Team at the ready! Our chocolate reindeer can touch down at the office to bring your team some Christmas cheer this year. Choose from milk, white, or dark chocolate. These cute Christmas pals are suitably festive and almost too adorable to eat.

If you’d rather give a few chocolate grades (rather than just milk, white, or dark chocolate), our Enchanted Chocolate Forest will transport a magical winter wonderland of caramel and milk spruces into your workplace. These chocolate trees are perfect for dipping in some drinking chocolate. Pair an irresistible hot chocolate sachet with The Velvetiser for a truly indulgent, cafe-quality experience.

Small chocolate boxes

Variety is the spice of life, as they say! So you might want to give small chocolate gift boxes with a “little bit of everything” to your employees — especially if you’re not too sure what their personal tastes are.

The Winter Puddings H-box features a selection of festive chocolates. More specifically, in this box you’ll find Christmas desserts recreated in chocolate form. That’s right — it’s as scrumptious as it sounds. Your giftees will get to enjoy a new festive dessert every night, if they can make them last that long.

Our Classic Christmas H-box is also a collection of 15 seasonal chocolates — truffles, tipples, pralines and more. Where else would you be able to find a Honey & Cashew Supernova or Caramel Cheesecake Macaron? These Christmas classics are guaranteed to please every sort of chocolate lover.

Alternatively, the Merry Christmas Signature Box is a chic white box containing 12 of our favourite winter chocolates. You’ll find chocolates from both our Winter Puddings and Classic Christmas collections in this petite chocolate tray. If you’re torn between our two H-boxes above, then this is your answer.

Our 8-chocolate Christmas Pocket Selection is even smaller, making it well and truly stocking-friendly (good to know if you’re creating stockings or hampers for each employee). With this sweet chocolate pouch, they’ll get a true sample of our best-loved filled chocolates — wrapped up with a merry red bow.

Alcoholic Christmas treats

A little tipple at Christmas never goes amiss.

For your employees who drink, consider gifting them a bottle of one of our very festive beverages to celebrate with. Our Mince Pie Velvetised Cream, which is a medley of vodka, cream, milk chocolate, and classic mince pie, is a cosy, nostalgic tipple. For something with a bright, citrus edge, our Salted Caramel & Clementine Velvetised Chocolate Cream is a silky smooth tipple that brings together chocolate and orange in the best way possible. It contains vodka, salted caramel chocolate, clementine and cream — velvetised to perfection.

You could even gift them our Velvetised Chocolate Tasting Experience Gift Set, which contains an elegant coupe glass and two chocolate cream liqueurs. Or if you want to pair your tipple with a delectable nibble, take a peek at our Chocolate Velvetised Cream & Macarons Collection.

Advent Calendars

Don’t want to leave your Christmas gifting until the last minute? Surprise your employees with a luxurious advent calendar each at the start of December. They’ll get to count down the days in the best way possible — with a nibble of chocolate each and every day.

The likes of The Everything Advent Calendar will treat your coworkers to a taste of various chocolate grades, textures, and flavours. Or if you want to give advent calendars according to their favourite type of chocolate, take a peek at our White Chocolate Advent Calendar, Milk Chocolate Advent Calendar, Dark Chocolate Advent Calendar, and Caramel Chocolate Advent Calendar.

If you have a dairy-free employee, our Unbelievably Vegan* Up to Snow Good Advent Calendar is sure to bring a smile to their face.

Or give them their own Christmas stocking

If you adore the idea of treating your employees but would rather give them a whole stocking than a stocking filler, take a peek at our Elf’s Christmas Stocking.

This red and white fabric stocking is full of jolly Christmas characters, like caramel penguins and milk reindeer. Place a stocking on every employee’s desk and watch them fall in love with their festive chocolates.

A Christmas Sleekster

Perhaps you’d still like to give your employees a selection of chocolates, but in the form of a larger chocolate box. Take a look at our delicious Christmas Sleeksters. These are like our Christmas H-Boxes but larger.

The Winter Puddings Sleekster contains gorgeous winter desserts reimagined in chocolate form. Find bites like our Apple Strudel, Cinnamon Bun, Christmas Mess, and Gooseberry Crumble tucked inside. These chocolates will inspire your giftee to whip up their own delicious desserts.

Our Classic Christmas Sleekster contains more seasonal favourites. This collection contains white, milk, and dark chocolates like our Caramel Spruce, Simple Dark Bauble, and Mulled Wine. Christmas characters are nestled between the merriest festive flavours — it’s the perfect Yuletide selection box.
