Oops. The Terry's Chocolate Orange, bought for DH, didn't make it into the wrapping paper this evening.
In my defense, the box was slightly damaged!

Toblerone. And I thought it tasted odd? Have they changed the taste as well as the shape?

(serves me right)

God yes! Every. Flaming. Year.

Sunshineclouds11 · 20/12/2023 21:59

Child's chocolate coins.

Home bargains trip for more tomorrow

Beetlebumz · 20/12/2023 22:00

Yes some lovely M&S choc truffles that were intended for my mum 🙈 will buy some more!!

Bettyscakes · 20/12/2023 22:01

I’ve bought the same chocolates 3 times now!!! I’m going to try again on Friday.

Theresit · 20/12/2023 22:03

We got sent a lovely large box of artisan chocolates by a relative, for the whole family to share. DH and I have eaten the lot and the rest of the family don’t arrive until Friday. I had to order a replacement 😆 (it was not cheap)

Give up Betty! Buy them socks next time.

Mammma91 · 20/12/2023 22:04

Yes. Every year, Christmas nor birthday it makes no difference. Especially now I’m pregnant with baby no 2. I ate my first selection box in October 😂 guilty!!!

Ykn · 20/12/2023 22:05

Yes, 2 giant bars of Dairy Milk intended as extra gifts have gradually been consumed over the past few weeks, but have now been replaced.

shellyleppard · 20/12/2023 22:06

Terry's chocolate orange which was meant for everyone at Christmas 😏😂 my son had the Christmas biscuits.....🤷‍♀️🤤😂 Also in the past have eaten bits of their easter eggs 😂😂😂😂

SmileyClare · 20/12/2023 22:08

Did you eat the whole chocolate orange op?

Im not sure whether to feel impressed or a bit sick 🤣

The world record for eating a chocolate orange is 58 seconds if you fancy challenging yourself!

Picklemeyellow · 20/12/2023 22:08

Dd15 and I just scoffed a box of malteasers earmarked for her friend she has fallen out with. Although they’ll probably be best mates again tomorrow so I’d better go get another box in just in case!

AvocadoSurprise · 20/12/2023 22:09

No - but I've drunk it!

AuntMarch · 20/12/2023 22:23

I bought 3 toblerones on offer a few weeks ago.

Nobody is getting toblerone.

I didn't want to leave any evidence behind. 😋

I've been good this year, but last Christmas I had to replace the tin of quality street three times before the big day.

Fair play 🤣

riotlady · 20/12/2023 22:37

Accidentally overbought popping candy for the stockings AND a random mini box of popping candy chocolate so I had a great time taking care of those while I was wrapping this afternoon 😂

BlowDryRat · 20/12/2023 22:41

I've replaced the chocolate lollipops for the DC's stockings twice. In my defence, they're nice ones from Hotel Chocolat 😋

Good luck. Sainsbury's was sold out of chocolate coins when I went this evening. No treasure hunt for my friend's DS!

papersandpens · 20/12/2023 22:44

I think I've worked my way through about 6 replacement selections boxes that I've had to keep re-buying my children. I'm blaming the fact I work in retail 😂

WhimsicalMoth · 20/12/2023 22:45

Bought a nandos gift set for my dad once. Wrapped it up. Had all intention of giving it to him for Christmas ... then I realised I'd probably enjoy the peri peri mayo and hot sauce more... unwrapped it and into my fridge it went 😵‍💫

WhimsicalMoth · 20/12/2023 22:46

@SmileyClare one of my many chocolate related talents is that I can demolish a whole chocolate orange in one sitting. I struggle to think that people can actually eat it a couple of pieces at a time 😂

EarringsandLipstick · 20/12/2023 22:48

🙋🏻‍♀️ joining in the guilty admissions!

Last night after a very long day I disposed of a child's selection box 😬

Roseyleaf · 21/12/2023 00:05

I accidentally sat on a Lindt teddy so obviously it was then no use for gifting!
