For Secret Santa, individually wrapped chocolates hit the brief without the guesswork. They read as considered rather than grabbed from a garage on the way in, they suit almost anyone, and they sit comfortably inside a modest budget. A small boxed selection of hand-finished pralines does more for a colleague than another novelty mug.
The making sits behind all of this. These chocolates are handcrafted in Newbridge, Co. Kildare, where Mary Ann O'Brien started the company in 1992, and a boxed selection is put together to survive the journey and arrive looking as it should.

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.
The third thing is the address and the message. A gift sent to a workplace needs to arrive on a day the recipient is in. A gift to a home is safer if someone is likely to be there, though a boxed selection left in a porch will come to no harm in cold weather. Adding a written message at the point of ordering means the gift arrives ready to give rather than needing a separate card.
A word on provenance for anyone who cares where a gift 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. For allergens or ingredient questions, check the detail on each product rather than guessing.
