Top 10 Father’s Day chocolate gift ideas

Socks and a tie won’t do the trick this Father’s Day? Luckily for you, we have 10 thoughtful Father’s Day chocolate gifts that are sure to delight.

As Father’s Day comes around again, it’s a chance to give the special man in your life a little token of appreciation. Dads, step-dads, and grandfathers across the UK are gearing up for their annual haul of novelty mugs and DIY vouchers — but we think they deserve something a little more refined. We’re here to inspire you with 10 Father’s Day chocolate gifts that bring just the right blend of charm, richness, and a touch of indulgence to make this year’s celebration all the more special.

After all, there’s a chocolate gift for every kind of dad.

1. The Everything Luxe

We’re starting our list strong, with The Everything Luxe — a Sleeketer with a little extra. This chocolate box is the ultimate crowd-pleaser, curated for dads with discerning taste and a penchant for the finer things. Brimming with a decadent array of truffles, pralines, caramels, and tipples, it has — as the name suggests — a bit of everything. 

It’s the ideal choice for the father figure who loves a bit of variety. Perhaps he enjoys a chocolate treat at the weekend while watching a film. Or maybe he squirrels his favourites away in his office drawer for a sneaky mid-afternoon nibble. Either way, we’re sure he’ll appreciate this exquisite selection. 

He’ll have 44 bites, spanning 22 of our most iconic recipes, including:

• Champagne Truffle, for a celebratory touch
• Florantine Isabelle, to bring some honey-laced crunch
• Carrot Cake — our chocolatier’s take on a favourite dessert

What else is there? You’ll have to wait until he opens the lid. If you’re lucky, he might even be willing to share with his nearest and dearest… 

2. The Classic Cabinet

Take the sense of variety up a notch with The Classic Cabinet. This stunning tiered collection includes a whopping 61 filled and solid chocolates in 26 best-loved recipes. Beautifully packaged, wonderfully abundant, it’s a grand gesture for a grand gent — Father’s Day chocolate at its finest.

From the moment he lifts the lid and opens the stylish drawer, he’ll be greeted by creamy caramels, nutty pralines, tipsy truffles, and elegant patisserie-inspired creations.

From smooth and oh-so-snappable Caramel Batons and our take on a Raspberry Macaron to a zesty white chocolate Mojito, there’s something for every mood.

3. The Cacao Bar Collection

Father’s Day is a time to celebrate, so treat your parent to The Cacao Bar Collection. It’s an excellent way to say “cheers for everything”. This pocket-sized collection includes three sophisticated miniatures, each filled with our very own premium spirits.

There’s a 50ml portion of our Espresso Martini Velvetised Cream, a double shot of our classic Cacao Gin, and 50ml of our satisfyingly smooth Salted Caramel Vodka Liqueur. 

Each one is perfect on the rocks or whipped up into Dad’s favourite cocktail.

4. Whisky Chocolate Collection

Does he know his single malt from his bourbon? Whisky-loving dads, grandpas, and uncles can rejoice with the next item on our Father’s Day chocolate list.

Say hello to our Whisky Chocolate Collection. With 12 chocolates brimming with premium spirits, it’s a decadent celebration of warming, mellow, whisky-infused indulgence. Each bite-sized piece is crafted to showcase the nuanced notes of fine whiskies — from smoky and oaky to smooth and sweet — all elegantly balanced with our cacao-rich chocolate.

Presented in a sleek box, the selection includes four sumptuous recipes, highlighting a variety of whisky flavours. Which will be his favourite?

Tyrconnell Irish Whisky Cream, Rye Bourbon, Double-Matured Single Malt, or our best-loved Whisky Truffle?

5. The Nice Slice — Cinema Edition

New for 2025, The Nice Slice — Cinema Edition delivers a heavenly juxtaposition of sweet and salty, smooth and crunchy. There’s enough here to serve eight people — what better snack for watching Dad’s favourite movie as a Father’s Day family celebration?

Of course, there’s a chance he may wish to hide it away for himself. And we can’t blame him. 

With each bite, this sturdy slice offers a rich praline base crafted from a blend of peanut, hazelnut, and caramel-milk chocolate, studded with toffee popcorn pieces and crushed tortilla chips for that perfect crunch. 

6. The Velvetiser™

When it’s time to break out the good stuff, there’s nothing quite as impressive as the Velvetiser™, our at-home hot chocolate system. This piece of kit is bound to surprise any hot-chocolate-loving Dad in the best way. If he’s a fan of proper, indulgent drinking chocolate (and let’s be honest, who isn’t?), this is the gadget he didn’t know he needed.

In just 2.5 minutes, it creates cloud-like, cafe-quality drinks at the push of a button — no frothing, whisking, or guesswork required.

With its modern, minimalist design, it looks effortlessly stylish on any kitchen counter, making it a gift that’s as easy on the eyes as it is on the tastebuds. 

You might be wondering if hot drinks are really the way to go in June… Don’t worry, the Velvetiser™ can help you whip up velvety iced chocolate drinks, too. What could be better?

Don’t forget to stock up on Dad’s favourite hot chocolate varieties. Explore our Velvetiser™ Library for single-serve sachets and resealable pouches.

7. Hot Chocolate Subscription

What about the man who already has his Velvetiser set up and ready to go? 

A Hot Chocolate Subscription is the gift that keeps on giving. With this Father’s Day chocolate treat, you can make sure Dad never runs out of his favourite drinking chocolate flakes. 

No matter what variety he enjoys best — mellow milk, creamy white, or decadent dark — he can have hot chocolate refills sent his way every one, two, or three months. 

It’s a lovely way to extend the love beyond Father’s Day and into the rest of the year. Every time Dad receives his subscription through the post, he’ll be reminded of you and the special bond you share. 

8. Serious Dark Fix H-Box

The Serious Dark Fix H-Box is a bold and uncompromising choice for the dad who can’t get enough of deep, dark chocolate notes. If your father sees milk chocolate as a mere warm-up act, treat him to depth and sophistication in every bite. 

This collection is all about cacao character, featuring 14 chocolates that all embrace the humble bean in all its glory. Some particular highlights include:

• Chilli Praline, which brings a surprising tingle, tempered by smooth roasted hazelnut and a combination of 50% milk and 70% dark chocolate.
  
• Gin Truffle: Our signature 70% dark chocolate conceals a light and lively burst of gin, brimming with delicate floral notes.
  
• Colombia Cienaga Almond Praline: Part of our Rare & Vintage range, this opulent 75% dark square features cacao from Sierra Nevada in northern Colombia and a comforting roasted almond praline.

Expect well-balanced bitterness, subtle sweetness, and a depth that lingers long after the last bite — a thoughtful nod to his refined palate.

9. Unbelievably Vegan* Sleekster

We haven’t forgotten plant-based parents. The Unbelievably Vegan* Sleekster is a masterclass — even if we do say so ourselves — in how chocolate can be made just as irresistible without milk.

This selection of 33 melt-in-your-mouth morsels highlights eight staggeringly creamy and satisfying recipes. Featuring our revolutionary Nutmilk chocolate, which is made with milled hazelnuts in place of milk, these chocolates deliver the best flavours and textures without compromise. 

Among other hidden gems, you’ll find:

• Crunchy Peanut Butter & Nutmilk Buche: Creaminess meets crunch in this indulgent chunky baton.
  
• Raspberry & Nutmilk Ganache: Tart pressed raspberries are unleashed by a combination of mellow Nutmilk and cacao-rich dark chocolate.
  
• Orange Gianduja Bombe: Expect all the sumptuousness of our classic Nutmilk Gianduja Bombe, with a twist of zesty orange.

Did you know you can add a free Happy Father’s Day sleeve to our H-Boxes and Sleeksters? This extra touch will leave Dad in no doubt that you’re thinking of him.

10. The Chocolatiers’ Selection Hamper

When Father’s Day calls for a true showstopper, let The Chocolatiers’ Selection Hamper take centre stage. 

Presented in a gorgeous (and reusable) wicker basket, this Father’s Day chocolate hamper will keep Dad stocked up with some of our finest creations for the foreseeable future.
We’ll keep the contents of the Chocolatiers’ Selection Hamper mostly a surprise, but here’s a sneak peek of what awaits inside:

• Two Sleekster chocolate boxes, totalling more than 70 bites
• An H-box 
• Two varieties of solid chocolate Batons

It could be a generous treat just from you or the ultimate gift from you and your siblings!
