Dodge the December dash: Say no to a stressful Christmas shop and yes to exclusive chocolate deals

22 Oct 2024

Christmas Discounts and special offers Winter

Stocking up on festive chocolate to savour with your dinner guests? Scouting out imaginative children’s Christmas gifts your little ones will love? While some of us are quite content perusing the shelves of our local department store or spending hours online hunting for Christmas chocolate deals and stocking fillers, we know not everyone feels this way about Christmas shopping.

For some, the annual Christmas shop can be an agonising source of stress — particularly when it’s left to the last minute, and grabbing the final box of chocolates on the shelf feels like the only viable option.

Fortunately, not only are we committed to making your Christmas chocolate shopping experience as painless as possible (we promise), but we’re also offering you an extra little something to help you save more and stress less as you gather up your festive goodies.

Between now and the 10th of November, we’re treating you to exclusive savings on almost everything* in our Christmas chocolate collection. Use the code XMAS-DGIA to save £5 when you spend £40, £10 when you spend £60, or £20 when you spend £90 (T&Cs apply*).

Ready to dodge the December dash, save big, and get your shopping done and dusted? There’s simply no time to lose. Grab a mug of your favourite hot chocolate, scribble down that code, and get ready to save on these delectable festive delights.

Spend less on our classic Christmas gift boxes

Why not redeem your discount on a classic gift that’s guaranteed to make their day merry and bright?

It doesn’t matter what age your recipient is, you simply can’t beat a beautifully wrapped box of Christmas chocolates. From our signature festive favourites to magical recipes reimagined, we’ve poured our heart and soul into crafting wondrous winter chocolates that capture the very essence of Christmastime.

Nutty chocolate boxes

Buying for someone who’s nutty about nut chocolate? Our decadent Dark Chocolate Brazil Nuts are sure to satisfy. We’ve taken whole Brazil nuts and lovingly wrapped them in a thick coating of quality dark chocolate. Perfect for pairing with a drop of gin or a glass of winter red, they’re neither fussy nor in-your-face. Just real ingredients, done right.

Chocolate boxes for all the family

After an extra special box that the entire family will adore? Our Classic Christmas Luxe collection is the epitome of indulgence. Every bite of these charming Christmas chocolates is an other-worldly experience. Discover the deep intensity of our Burnt Caramel Pralines, the tantalising tang of our Caramel Clementine Supernovas, and the warming, spiced notes of our heavenly Cinnamon Bun cups. Fancy tucking into these little bites of joy while you curl up and watch a festive flick with the family?

Classic Christmas chocolate boxes

Can’t get enough of our Classic Christmas H-box? We’ve brought this beloved box back for Christmas 2024, and this year, it’s even better than before. We’re always imagining up new recipes and ideas to elevate your tasting experience, so we thought we’d add a few new additions to make this box even more magical. Ideal for nibbling after dinner or gifting to colleagues, this classic box now contains tempting new recipes such as Salted Espresso Martini and our rum-ridden Dark & Stormy.

Oh, and there’s one more thing we should mention about our Christmas H-Box. It also happens to feature — wait for it — an illegal ingredient. If the curiosity is killing you, and you simply can’t resist finding out what on earth we mean by this, take a peek at our post: The Chocolatier’s Tale – The Illegal Gianduja.

Already added our Dark Chocolate Brazils, Classic Christmas H-Box, and Classic Christmas Luxe collection to your basket? Why not throw in one more chocolate gift box and save £20 at checkout?
Along with sumptuous Hazelnut Pralines and creamy waddling, white penguins, our Classic Christmas Sleekster returns with two new triple-layered taste experiences: zingy cherry and bold blackcurrant. Watch your friends’ faces beam with delight as you pass these round the room at the festive gathering. With 28 comforting, Christmassy shapes inside, everyone will love savouring the joys of the season.
