Which are the best chocolates for a thank you/Christmas present?

[Pinkkisugarmouse]

I’m a vegan and usually buy vegan chocolates as presents if getting them as gifts for the small number of people I get gifts for and they are either vegan or enjoy posh vegan chocolates. But….
This would be too costly in this case. I have had complex surgery on my wrist and many departments in my orthopaedic hospital have been involved (and still are). In my treatment. I want to get several tubs of popular chocolates but haven’t got a Scooby Doo. So Roses? Quality Street, Celebrations? Hero’s! Something else maybe posh biscuits? 🤷🏻‍♀️

How much do you want to spend?

Tub of heroes or a tin of posh M&S biscuits always goes down well in these circumstances I think!

Forgottenmyphone …. I would rather keep the cost down hence the choice to opt for the better known popular chocolates. I honestly don’t know what is a good price for a tub of say hero’s but I can compare online. I have an Asda and a Morrisons nearby.

I was informed things like boxes of biros, hand creams, lip salves were more appreciated so I went with that.

Supermarkets have their nice tins of biscuits out - stags/Christmas/tartan etc which makes them feel a bit more “presenty” - but also celebrations egc will go down well

The m&s vegan truffles are amazing and aren’t too pricey. About £8 per box.
The non vegan ones are cheaper I think. They’re also amazing, the nicest chocs I’ve ever had.

M&S do a box of chocolates called The Big One for £5, they are a lot nicer than Roses or Quality St.

Celebrations or Heroes if you want to keep the price down, and try to look for 3 for 2 offers.

Heroes and Celebrations are £4 or £5 a tub at places like Tesco. They’re nice and easy to share around. Or you could get those tubs of rocky road / flapjacks / cornflake cakes etc that Tesco or M&S etc sell. They’re often on offer if you buy multiple ones.

I noticed those today on a visit. They look great. I still mourn the loss of 1980s style roses or quality street.

The wrapped ones in a tub are the best for sharing.
I usually give the mixed Ferrero Rocher or Green & Black miniatures for relatives, but a decent size box is more a after a meal treat than a dip your hand in tub for sharing.

lindor! every time

Hasn't Lindor gone the way of Dairy Milk? The last time I had some they weren't very nice.

Deffo go for chocs, I’d be disappointed to receive a box of biros!!

The box I was given recently was divine!
Hang on, I'd just better have another to check . . . .

Tubs of Celebrations, Heroes, Quality Street and Roses are on 2 for £7 at Morrisons with a Morrison More card at the moment. In my opinion celebrations and heroes are nicest.

Any or a big fruit basket

I would think that Heroes would be very appropriate

Birdh0use…..Not realistic I’m afraid. I will have to get a taxi, will still have a cast and be reliant on my grown up daughter for help. Any fruit basket would be bashed past edible. Never mind trying to juggle four. Tubs are hardwearing.

I can’t get to an M&S. My options are Morrisons or Asda.

We get given them at work quite often, Celebrations seem to go down best, followed by Heroes, Quality Street and Roses in that order.

You can't go wrong with any of the tubs of chocolates. That's why they come into the shops so early, they sell really well.
I would go for Roses and Quality Street.

Roses or quality street but if you see Monty Bojangles, they’re yummy.

Ah the latter ones are too small.

Okay thank you everyone. I don’t know if it’s still possible to close comments but if it is please let me know.

I’m okay for suggestions now. 👍
