Bookblock’s Guide to Curated Chocolate Gift Boxes

Posted on September 15, 2021September 28, 2021 by Louise Ashlee

Here we provide a breakdown of our chocolate gift boxes and the lovely products within them. The three gift boxes in the spotlight today are The Vegan Sweet Shop Gift Box, The Large Chocolate Gift Box and The Chocolate Indulgence Gift Box.

The Vegan Sweet Shop Gift Box

This box is filled with sweet treats made with naturally vegan recipes. They are every bit as good as their non-vegan counterparts, if not better. Our Vegan Butterscotch Fudge and Coconut Caramel Salted Truffles are the stars thanks to the amazing flavours and beautiful packaging. We love the gold foil finishes that put emphasis on the details and premium quality.

Next, we have our delicious Salted Peanut Butter, Gin & Tonic Dark Chocolate and Pear Drop Sweets. Funky Nut Co’s Peanut Butter contains pure peanuts with some added organic sea salt for those who like things a little more savoury. The Gin & Tonic chocolate uses lemon and lime oil to give a subtle citrus flavour. Lastly, we have the classic pear drops. These hard-boiled sweets taste exactly as you remember them; sweet and fruity.

There are all sorts of flavours and products in this box, a perfect vegan gift box if you can’t decide, or just want them to try a bit of everything!

The Large Chocolate Gift Box

Large is definitely the right word for this gift box. As far as we’re concerned, bigger is definitely better when it comes to chocolate. The gift box contains nine gifts to sink your teeth into, encouraging some almighty chocolate indulgence. Enough to fulfil your friends and family’s chocolate needs for a long time… or for one heavenly feast!

These gifts are a selection of our best loved and most enjoyed chocolatey products. We’ve included salted caramel flavours, dark white and milk chocolate, Rocky Road fudge and golden chocolate covered almonds. As well as two luxurious hot chocolates, Chocolate Chip Shortbread and Extra Dark Traditional Truffles. Of course, we also love the packaging for these products. They are all beautifully thought out designs that give them the aesthetic appeal they deserve. As a result, they make a wonderful luxury chocolate gift box.

Chocolate Indulgence Gift Box

With this box, we wanted to focus slightly more towards the dessert style gifts, hence the Dessert Collection chocolates! We’ve also included our Forty Liquors’ cheeky salted caramel espresso martini to bring you a slice of the Caribbean with its blend of rums from Antigua and Jamaica. Additionally, our Caramel, Chocolate & Sea Salt, Salted Caramel Truffles and Salted Caramel Milk Chocolate are definitely enough to hit a caramel overload! As well as the many caramel flavours, we also involved our gorgeous crispy orange slices with dark chocolate and our Gin & Tonic Dark Chocolate bar. This box is suitable for vegetarian friends, and is a great choice for a slightly more modest budget, making it one of the best chocolate gift boxes!

We hope this has provided some inspiration for what to buy those chocolate-mad friends. If you are loving these gifts and want to explore more, head over to our Chocolate World to start browsing our chocolate gift boxes and other products.

If you have that wonderful sweet tooth, our chocolate boxes will fulfil your every need. Each chocolate is made and decorated by hand by artisan chocolatiers. Using E-number free, plant-based colour for a unique and vibrant finish, they’ll leave you wanting more and more! Not to mention the gorgeous boxes with intricate details to catch your eye.

Heavenly Collection

For instance, we have our Heavenly Collection of Handmade Chocolates. The box contains eight chocolates with our favourite sweet and fruity flavours: Salted Caramel, Praline Feuilletine, Banoffee Pie, Pistachio & Cream, White Chocolate & Raspberry, Morello Cherry, Orange Caramel and Basil & Lime. Talk about a luxury chocolate gift box!

In addition, the chocolates are handmade for us by genius chocolatier Kala King. Kala adds a unique design to each chocolate, using a mixture of paint strokes and splatter effects that represent their flavours. The box itself is also lovely, with intricate illustration and decoration. Adding that premium touch makes these such a lovely gift.

36 Truffle & Praline Chocolates

If you want a little more to your box, our 36 Truffle & Praline Chocolates can just about meet your needs! This is a truly indulgent gift selection. Enjoy a selection of Hazelnut Pralines, Hazelnut Truffles, Almond Pralines and Orange Pralines. No need to worry if you have a favourite, because there are six of each flavour chocolate.

Shown below, all flavours have their own shape, painted detail and nuts sprinkled on top, creating a dazzling finish. Furthermore, they sit in a beautifully ornate box with floral and cross hatching style details. The contrasting colours and decorative finish is perfect if you’re after a premium chocolate gift box.

Dessert Collection

Lastly (pretty fitting for the name), we have our Dessert Collection Chocolates. It consists of eight handmade chocolates inspired by some of (in our opinion) Europe’s tastiest desserts. Discover four different, unique and totally delicious flavours; Pastel de Nata, Churros, Black Forest and Tiramisu. All created by our artisan chocolatier Kala King. Their unique shapes create dazzling appearances and a fancy dessert. The great thing about this box is the ability to have the tastes of multiple desserts, condensed into a chocolate! Perfect if you want something sweet to finish the night off!

We love the box for these chocolates, with its bright and bold abstract shapes. The contrasting colours represent the range of dessert flavours and the gold interior really emphasises the luxuriousness.

We have so many products for all sorts of occasions, be it a birthday gift box , valentines day gift box, or simply thinking of you gifts. For specific occasions, a theme is the best way to go for a thoughtful gift box.

Pamper Gifts

Do you know a special someone who isn’t feeling so great, or maybe just needs a bit of cheering up? Why not build a gift box full of pampering gifts to help them out a little? We have a whole section dedicated to pamper gifts, as they’re one of the best ways to treat your loved ones.

Detoxifying Body Scrub and Ylang Ylang Bath Salts

A few of our most loved pampering gifts are our Detoxifying Body Scrub by Milk, Lavender and Ylang Ylang Bath Salts by Leende and our collection of bath bombs by Bombombomboms.
The Body Scrub is made to refine, smooth and hydrate skin. Containing grapefruit oil, rosemary oil and dried lavender, it has a beautiful yet subtle scent.
Our Ylang Ylang Bath Salts are completely natural, with luxury dead sea bath salts to revitalise the skin. The lavender and ylang ylang essential oils in this amazing blend help relax the mind and body.
Lastly, our bath bomb collection, with six products to choose from. We love the Rose Petals with Rose and Geranium essentials oils, as well as the Citrus Twist that’s hand finished with shimmering brushes of gold.
All of these products would make wonderful thoughtful gifts, so are brilliant for building your own gift box.

Celebration Gifts

On a lighter note, perhaps you’re looking for some thoughtful gifts to celebrate with someone? Again, we have our own Congratulations Gifts section dedicated to helping you find what you’re looking for.

A classic celebratory gift is a wonderful bottle of bubbly. One of our favourites is the Perle Noire Brut Sparkling White Wine by Louis Bouillot. It’s made using Gamay and Pinot Noir grapes, with a fine, elegant mousse and red fruit aromas on the nose. This luxury bottle adds a premium touch to a gift box and definitely shows your caring nature!

Another thoughtful gift idea is chocolate boxes. We have such a beautiful range here at Bookblock, all with amazing packaging designs too. We feel they should look as good as they taste! One that shows this off wonderfully is our 15 Mixed Praline Chocolates.
This chocolate box contains 15 decadent flavours including Classic Praline, Caramac Cream, Strawberries & Cream, Hazelnut Truffle and more! As you can see, they are housed in a beautifully ornate box with gold foiling, making a perfect, thoughtful keepsake.

For those extra little thoughtful gifts, try our Ginger Ray collection of balloons. They range from gold, rose and silver balloons to confetti filled fun. For example, our Gold Foil Confetti Balloons create an instant injection of glitz and glamour. The unique shredded gold confetti adds a stunning and elegant shimmer, suiting a multitude of celebrations.

Lastly, any thoughtful gifts deserve a thoughtful message. For a finishing touch to your gift box, why not add a personalised card. We have hundreds to choose from, from illustrations and patterns to photo cards for a more sentimental touch.

Bookblock Gift Guide to Thanking the Bride Tribe

Posted on June 20, 2019October 4, 2021 by Sarah Bennett

For the Organiser

Firstly, every bride tribe has an organiser. You’ll usually find them with a stopwatch and clipboard, ensuring everything runs to plan. They’re the linchpin behind every good wedding. So, show them how much you appreciate their hard work with a beautiful personalised notebook.
Our Bookblock range has something to suit every personality and allows you to get creative with customisable text for your own unique touch. You can name them as the organiser they are, or something more personal like a nickname!

We have so many designs to choose from, but a couple that work wonderfully for a thank you gift are our Watercolour Pink and Blue Marble. Both designs are very wedding-esque with pink florals and the sophisticated marble texture. However, if your organiser has maybe a bolder, brighter personality, head over to our Personalised Notebooks to browse for more bridesmaid gift ideas!

For the Party Animal

It’s not a bride tribe without a party expert. They’re the first ones on the dance floor and usually the last ones off it. After all that effort, they need a big bridesmaid thank you gift. And nothing does the job like a good gin. Step forward Bookblock Forty Liquors Wild Pink Gin. Its perfect balance of wild strawberries, Rhubarb and Dill creates a fun drink for your wildest member of the bride tribe. The gorgeous pink colour and beautifully designed label makes it a great gift box addition.

For the besties

Nobody knows you better than your bridesmaids. They’ve been there through thick and thin and they deserve a little something special. These stunning bangles by Junk Jewels are a perfect bridesmaid thank you gift for the whole tribe to remember the big day. They are housed in a luxury white matchbox style gift box reading ‘I couldn’t tie the knot without you x’. With its adjustable size and gorgeous white organza ribbon holding the box in place, it’s a beautiful wearable keepsake. Add one to your thank you gift box to remind them that you couldn’t have tied the knot without them.

For the Sweet Tooths

Nothing says ‘thank you’ like chocolate. And the bride tribe deserves the best of the best. Treat them to our Bookblock Deli Classic Selection of Handmade Chocolates. This box contains four chocolates in both classic and imaginative flavours, with beautiful hand painted whirls and splatters. The decorative gold foiled sleeve is perfect for adding a premium touch to your bridesmaid thank you gift. And they taste as good as they look!

For the Recovery

Lastly, every big day has a big night. Give your bride tribe the best chance of recovery with this 100% Natural Sleep, Massage and Bath Oil. This nourishing treat is packed with soothing ingredients such as Lavender essential oil, Almond oils and Jojoba oil. We can assure you their skin is in good hands. Just a few drops in a bath will have them dreaming away before you know it (so don’t let them use it until after your big day!). Add one to a bridesmaid thank you gift box or why not keep one for yourself? After all that gifting, you’ve earned it!

Hopefully this has given you some gift ideas to add into every bridesmaid thank you gift box. We don’t think your bride tribe will be disappointed with these goodies! However, if you’d like to treat them with something a little bigger, we have our curated bridesmaid gift boxes. They are located in our wedding gift boxes section and filled with more amazing gifts.
