Two practical notes. Do not speak for the recipient's dietary needs or allergens; let them check the product information if they need to. And for anyone who likes 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 egg will always have its place under the age of about twelve. For everyone else at the Easter table, a hamper built around darker, hand-finished chocolate is the more considered gift, and the one more likely to be finished with pleasure rather than obligation.
There is a practical benefit too. A hamper travels well by post, which matters if you are sending Easter chocolate hamper greetings to family you will not see over the weekend. It arrives intact, keeps well, and gives the recipient the pleasure of working through a selection rather than facing one large piece alone.

What lifts either option above the usual is the finish. The chocolates are handcrafted in Newbridge, Co. Kildare, where Mary Ann O'Brien founded the company in 1992, and that shows in the way each piece is finished rather than simply moulded. A single-origin dark or a hand-finished praline carries more weight in the hand than a foil coin, even at stocking-filler size.
Small share bags do a similar job from the other direction. Rather than splitting a box, you drop a whole bag into a single stocking, which suits the person who likes to graze through the morning rather than open everything at once. They sit well next to the satsuma at the toe of the stocking and take up little room.
