Starting the year by properly thanking the people who made the previous one work, rather than letting that gratitude go unmarked simply because there is no obvious calendar date for it, is a small habit worth building into January rather than leaving to chance.

The finish is what makes it feel like thanks rather than habit. These chocolates are handcrafted in Newbridge, Co. Kildare, where Mary Ann O'Brien founded the company in 1992, and a single-origin dark or a hand-finished praline carries that through better than a supermarket box picked up on the last morning.

January does not have an obvious gifting occasion built into it the way November and December do, which is exactly why it gets overlooked as a moment to say thank you for the year that has just finished. A New Year thank you gift, sent to a client, a colleague, or simply someone who helped out over the previous twelve months, works well precisely because it is not expected, and does not carry the pressure or competition that surrounds Christmas gifting.
