As ever, do not make assumptions about anyone's dietary needs or allergens. Choose the hamper and point the recipient to the information on each product if they ask. For those who care where the chocolate comes from, the cocoa is sourced through Cocoa Horizons and the company is a member of Origin Green, with production held to BRC Grade A+ standard.
One point worth handling carefully: a staffroom is a mixed group, and you cannot know everyone's dietary needs or allergens. Do not try to. Choose the gift, and let anyone with a question check the information on the product itself. For those who like to know the background, the cocoa is sourced through Cocoa Horizons and the company is a member of Origin Green, with production held to BRC Grade A+ standard.
The wrapping is the point. A box of individually wrapped pieces can be opened and left on a shared desk or in the kitchen, and people take one as they pass. Nobody has to break into a communal slab or worry about who touched what. For a team that is half in the office and half at home on any given day, a wrapped piece also keeps until the person it was meant for is actually in.
A hamper works because it spreads the pleasure out. Instead of one shape to unwrap, there is a selection to move through across the long weekend: pralines to pass around after lunch, a share bag for the children, a boxed assortment kept back for the adults. Each piece is handcrafted in Newbridge, Co. Kildare, where the company has made chocolate since Mary Ann O'Brien began in her kitchen in 1992, and the range reflects that same attention to finish.
