Marks and Spencer has struck gold with a chocolate lover's dream hamper that is flying off the virtual shelves and earning effusive praise from delighted customers.
A Festive Treat Packed with Sweet Delights
The retailer's Extremely Chocolatey Gift hamper is priced at £32 and offers a convenient postal gifting service nationwide, complete with a free personalised message. The beautifully presented box is a treasure trove of confectionery, featuring an assortment that includes chocolate-covered honeycomb, milk chocolate teacakes, blond fudge bites, various chocolate bars, and salted caramel whips.
With the festive season in full swing, this hamper is being hailed as an ideal Christmas or New Year present. M&S suggests the contents can provide two weeks of indulgent grazing, perfect for seeing recipients through the holiday period.
Rave Reviews and Rapid Sales
Customer feedback on the M&S website has been overwhelmingly positive, with many highlighting the hamper's value for money and delicious contents. Its popularity is undeniable; the product is flagged as 'selling fast' with an online purchase made every 13 minutes.
Shoppers have been quick to recommend it, calling it a "perfect gift for birthdays or anniversaries for a chocoholic". Others appreciated that it offers "something different to flowers". The response has been so positive that some buyers have taken the unusual step of posting "thank you" messages on the site, relaying the joy of the gift's recipient.
One minor critique mentioned the chocolate bars being "really thick", though the customer still conceded all the products were delicious.
Alternative Chocolate Gifts on the Market
For those seeking branded alternatives, other retailers offer similar festive options. Amazon sells the Cadbury Favourites Chocolate Selection Box for £7, while the Baileys Chocolate Lover Hamper is available for £26.99. However, the M&S hamper continues to generate significant buzz for its curated selection and presentation, making it a standout choice for gifting this season.
