Galaxy chocolate hamper
- Available from Amazon (£19.99)

Many of us fall into either the Cadbury or Galaxy camp, fighting it out for which is best. If you know a die-hard Galaxy fan, this is the hamper for them. The 1kg box is filled with every form of Galaxy chocolate you can think of – there are bags of Minstrels, bars of smooth classic Galaxy and plenty of flavoured bars, including orange, salted caramel and cookie crumble. A guaranteed way to make their day a little sweeter.

Lindt Lindor collection hamper
- Available from Lindt (£55)
Best for chocolate truffles
Surely one of the most decadent chocolate hampers we’ve tried, we love the element of personalisation involved in this 1.6kg offering from Lindt. As well as three boxes of truffles, plus a selection of large and small bars, the compact box is completed by choosing a whopping 650g of Lindt truffle pick 'n' mix. Fill your quota however you like – go all in on 650g of a favourite, or choose a selection from the wide range of flavours, some of which we hadn’t seen before, such as matcha, mango and popcorn truffles. The lucky recipient will be kept going with chocolate for a very long time.

Lindt (£55)
Cartwright & Butler The Chocolate & Fizz Hamper
- Available from Cartwright & Butler (£95)
Best for chocolate-themed snacks
We love this hamper for including a variety of chocolate-themed treats, not just straight bars or truffles. Delivered in a smart gift box, this has 10 different chocolate products to enjoy inside: from chocolate drop shortbread and wafers to creamy fudge, champagne truffles and smooth drinking chocolate to wash it all down. Not forgetting the bottle of prosecco for a luxury treat.

This chocolate hamper is a whole unique tasting experience. Snowdonia Cheese have collaborated with Willie's Cacao to pair four cheeses with four chocolates, with a tasting leaflet to guide you through this experience. Delivered in a gift basket a lucky recipient can keep, these unusual pairings can be tried together as well as enjoyed separately – think chilli cheese with white chocolate, or garlic and herb-infused cheddar with tangy lime milk chocolate...

Swap a wicker basket for a box filled to the brim with top quality chocolate with this Chococo hamper offering.

It’s the season to curl up with a cosy hot chocolate, and this luxurious hamper makes that extra special. No powdery flakes here: stir up an extra-rich hot chocolate with The Chocolate Society’s melting milk and dark chocolate drops, plus a clever hot chocolate shaker to make the drink in and ensure it is silky smooth.

Monty Bojangles Truffle Trunk
- Available from Monty Bojangles (£42), Amazon (£39.99)
There’s something magical about this truffle trunk. It takes the magic of wanderlust in a suitcase but filled with boxes of your favourite chocolate flavours, in truffle form. What makes this so perfect is that, when ordering direct from Monty Bojangles, you can actually pick which flavours to have in the suitcase, any it’s only £40 for nine boxes and over 100 truffles, which is great value.
Despite the heavy cocoa coating (make sure you have a wet wipe on hand), the flavours are delicious. We highly recommend the ‘pistachio macarooned’ ones as they have a delicious nutty flavour and crunchy texture amongst the silky truffle. The names of each flavour are quirky, the packaging is colourful and you can even use the trunk for storage when you’ve finished the truffles.
