This is our guide to the best Christmas chocolate gifts of 2026, sorted by who you are buying for.

Chocolate gifts for her

For a mum, sister, partner or best friend, think pretty, indulgent and a little bit special.

  • Truffles and creams: silky, delicate and made for sharing (or not)
  • Elegant gift boxes: a classic choice that always looks the part
  • Hot chocolate and chocolate together: a ready-made evening in

Chocolate gifts for him

For dads, brothers, partners and granddads, go for flavours with a bit of character.

  • Dark chocolate bars and thins: rich, intense and satisfying
  • Boozy or spiced flavours: a festive twist for grown-up tastes
  • A bigger box to dip into all Christmas: because someone has to

Chocolate gifts for kids and the young at heart

Fun, colourful and sized for small hands, with plenty to share.

  • Chocolate treats in playful packaging: half the joy is the unwrapping
  • Small boxes and stocking-sized pieces: perfect for Christmas morning
  • A family sharing box: for the whole house to open together

Chocolate gifts for colleagues and clients

Professional, polished and easy to give.

  • A smart selection box for the team: one gift, everyone happy
  • Individual gifts for key clients: tasteful and not over the top
  • Something for the office kitchen: a gift people genuinely look forward to

Chocolate gifts for hosts and neighbours

When you are arriving with something in hand, you want it to look as lovely as it tastes.

  • A beautifully wrapped box of favourites

Chocolate gifts for Secret Santa and stocking fillers

Small, simple and always welcome.

  • Single bars, mini boxes and little treats
  • Something under a set budget that still feels thought through

Chocolate gifts for the person who has everything

When there is nothing they need, give them something to enjoy. Choose a flavour they would never think to buy themselves, or a gift with a story behind it.

A little Prestat history

Prestat has been making chocolates in Britain for over a century. Our recipes have charmed everyone from the very grand to the very sweet-toothed, and we have always believed chocolate should be fun as well as fine. It is a spirit that suits Christmas rather well.

How to choose in a hurry

  1. Think about the person, not the occasion. Do they like sweet, rich, fruity or boozy?
  2. Check for dietary needs. Look for allergen information on each product page.
  3. Choose the size to match the relationship. A small gift for a thank-you, a bigger box for someone close.
  4. Order in good time. Check our last order dates so nothing arrives after the big day.
