Here are the perfect gifts for every chocolate lover in your life

Give them what they really want this Christmas.

Sometimes, we can agonise over what to get the people closest to us for Christmas. Because we know them so well, it can make it even harder to know what to buy. We know our mum has a cupboard full of candles and perfume she’ll never get through, and our brother has enough socks to last a lifetime.

So rather than stressing and ending up giving them a present that won’t be used, it’s hard to go wrong with chocolate. And Lily O’Brien’s has so many great options, including the popular indulgent Desserts Collection, the Ultimate Chocolate Collection through to the Exquisite Collection, the Petit Indulgence Collection, and the Truffles range. 

For dessert lovers

Desserts Collection 16 Chocolates

If they’re always saving room for dessert and have a renowned sweet tooth, then Lily O’Brien’s Desserts Collection is the perfect choice. Inspired by the most popular dessert recipes from around the world, including Hazelnut Torte, Banoffee Pie, Crème Brulée, Raspberry Infusion, Key Lime Pie and Lemon Posset, any dessert lover will be delighted with this gift. The Desserts Collection is available in two box sizes; 16 chocolates and a larger box of 30 chocolates. 

For the foodie

The Exquisite Edition

They tell you about the notes in their malbec, seek out freshly ground coffee and are always trying out a new restaurant, so they’ll love the intriguing flavour pairings in the Lily O’Brien’s Exquisite Collection. With combinations including Ginger & Lemon Confit, Coconut & Lime, Almond & Cranberry, and Dark Chocolate Sea Salted Caramel, it’s sure to have them reaching for more. 

For the chocolate fanatics

The Ultimate Collection

Some people can never get enough chocolate, and Lily O’Brien’s Ultimate Chocolate Collection is just the present for them. With flavours including Double Chocolate Truffle, Simply Chocolate, and Le Crunch Chocolat in this selection of 16 , chocolate is very much the focus in this delicious selection. 

For the dinner party host

Petit Indulgence Collection

You should never show to a dinner party empty-handed, but avoid the bottle of wine that will get pushed to the back of the cupboard, and gift something that’s guaranteed to get opened after dinner.

Everyone will love sharing the Lily O’Brien’s Petit Indulgence Collection, and with its festive red packaging, it’s a gift that will definitely get you invited over again. 

For stocking fillers 

Milk Chocolate Truffles

Whether you’re looking for a small token for someone, or just want to add a sweet something to a larger gift, Lily O’Brien’s Truffles are the perfect choice. They’ll love taking a moment to unwrap and savour each delicious bite, whether you go for Milk Chocolate Truffles, Salted Caramel Truffles, or Vanilla Truffles.  

The Lily O’Brien’s chocolate collections are made in Ireland and are available in stores nationwide and at lilyobriens.ie.
