Chocolate gifts for children

[xams]

I have 10+ children to buy for in our family (aged 5-17).
We have all agreed that we spend more on birthdays and just a token present at Christmas.
I was thinking of buying them all a book and some sort of chocolate/sweets to go with it.
However does anyone know where I could get some nice chocolates for children? I don't want ones that I could pick up in the supermarket, I was hoping for something abit more luxurious - I know the younger children probably wouldn't appreciate it, but I'd still like it to be something abit more special.
My budget will be around £5 per child.
Thanks in advance 😊

Not chocolate but you can get beautifully decorated and personalised Christmas cookies from Etsy for around that price.

Get a chocolate reindeer from Thorntons and have their name iced in it.

However, my 3 year old won't touch "posh" chocolate. Unless it's dairy milk, nestle or kinder he isn't interested. Even turned his nose up at a Lindt teddy (I'm considering having him tested to see if he's really my child)

I never thought of Etsy! Will have a look thank you.

Thorntons is a good shout.. thanks!

I’m putting these in DD’s stocking www.cocoaloco.com/collections/a-cocoa-loco-christmas-collection/products/white-chocolate-polar-bears-100g

I'm doing this with my DS , I've bought Hotel Chocolat for them this year , like The Princess and the Pea . If he fails this test , I'll return him (though he's nearly 23 , I think he's past the return time !)

John Lewis do beautiful Christmas chocolates and sweets

I’d go with M&S they have some lovely little chocolates, chocolate dash DS for the smaller children and chocolate Percy pig noses for the older kids. They also do Omnoms which my eldest (8) seems to be obsessed with.

We all like Tony's chocolonely. Bright wrappers, ethical and you can get just milk chocolate.

Dachshunds*

If any of the children are Harry Potter fans, M&S have some fun HP themed chocolate items, and their chocolate is usually good quality.

Or if you are near a Leonidas shop, they will have some Christmas sweets and chocolates.

Most young children will definitely not appreciate fancy chocolate. All mine 5 to 10yrs would be happy with a cheap chocolate Santa or raindeer from Aldi/Lidl or a kinder one. I would definitely not spend money on the youngest ones, unless they come from families where they are use to rich chocolates. The older ones I’d look at Thorntons or a Hotel Chocolate if you really wanted to splash out.

All children I know love a Lindt chocolate reindeer with the bell.

Ds used to get a huge thorntons santa or elf every year from the same relative. We think the chocolate in them is powdery and tastless (everyones taste is different). He always thanked the giver, but as soon as he got home he would give it away. We would either regift it (if not personalised) or melt it down for chocolate crispies or baking.

We give Lindt santa, teddy bears or reindeers and ds has a couple in his stocking every year. They appear to be appreciated, but who knows! They might go into chocolate crispies too!

Thank you for all the replies. I'm going to get them all a Lindt chocolate reindeer! I didn't realise they were so reasonably priced.
Now to look for books..

I picked up some dingo dollar choc coins from b and m earlier - or I always find those massive boxes of maltesers ALWAYS go down well - get both for about £4!

Oh sorry you said something a bit different - yes marks’ or Thorntons lol or a Lindt teddy

Oh you’ve decided - it’s Friday night - ignore me 🤣👍

It's ok! I did want something abit different, I was thinking of some cookies off Etsy that a PP mentioned.. however I'm thinking it's best to stay safe after reading all the comments.
Thank you anyway for your reply!

Have a look at Sarah's creative kitchen. She has loads of special things on there.

@xams depending on their ages The Works will be good for books - they usually have 3 for £5 offers on, or occasionally 10 for £10.
