Should you give chocolate as a gift?
Chocolate is the perfect gift for any occasion. There’s just something magical about opening a box of chocolates surrounded by family and friends—something that soothes and nourishes the collective soul. Whether it’s a birthday, as a way to say thank you, an anniversary, or “just because”, chocolate is always a welcome gift and your best moments will be all the more special when it’s sweetened with chocolate. It's also versatile in the way that is well received by everyone, such as someone your work with, friends and partners. But before you go reaching for that box or basket of chocolates, ask yourself: Is this really the right chocolate for my recipient? In this blog post, we will explore Purdys Chocolatier's offering so that you can select that perfect chocolate gift to create wonderful memories around any celebration.

Thank Them and Treat Them
Saying “thank you” can be one of the most heartwarming moments of human connection. It’s the opportunity to show your appreciation for their kindness and presence in your life. So make each opportunity count with gifts that represent your gratitude. Our thank you chocolate gifts have been designed just for those meaningful moments. From small thank-you tokens to beautiful chocolate gift baskets heaped with their favourite treats.
Any-versary is a Chocolate Anniversary
The gift for your first wedding anniversary may be paper, but we’re pretty sure they’d prefer chocolate. Whether you’re keeping up with special family anniversaries that are decades old, or celebrating fun unique anniversaries between close friends, make those moments more magical with our chocolate anniversary gifts. We offer beautiful ribbon options to add that extra personal touch.
Work (From Home) Perks
If you and your team are currently separated by computer screen, reaching out and keeping up morale can be difficult. Even celebrating victories or offering encouragement can seem impossible. The fun office culture of snack tables, Friday lunches are no longer an option with remote work culture. So let Purdys help you recreate the fun team dynamic with our chocolate Work From Home Gifts! Break into delicious treats together during virtual happy hours, or write special notes of encouragement in our chocolate card boxes.
