The office at Christmas is a difficult room to buy for. There are people you know well and people you have only met by email, dietary preferences you are not across, and a Secret Santa budget that does not stretch far. Individually wrapped wedding favour chocolates answer most of that in one go.
The making is where it earns its place. These chocolates are handcrafted in Newbridge, Co. Kildare, where Mary Ann O'Brien founded the company in 1992, and a single-origin dark, hand-finished, is a more personal gift than flowers bought from a bucket at a garage forecourt.
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.
The date moves, but the method does not. Fix the third Sunday of June in your calendar, count back three weeks, and Father's Day stops being a scramble.
Three weeks out is the moment to decide what kind of gift you are giving. A boxed collection of chocolates suits a father who likes something to sit with after dinner. A share selection works if the day is spent together and the box is opened at the table. This is also the point to check whether you are posting the gift or handing it over, because postal orders need the longer runway.
