Father’s Day: A chocolate gift for every kind of dad

Celebrate your father figure by breaking out the good stuff this Father’s Day. Chocolate — a gift they can savour.

Father’s Day is a chance for us to celebrate and champion the wonderful father figures we’re lucky to have in our lives. From biological fathers to stepdads, granddads, and uncles. Father’s Day is a day to put these individuals on a pedestal and make them feel appreciated. 

At Hotel Chocolat, we believe nothing shows you care quite like chocolate. With a variety of flavours and textures to choose from, we have a Father’s Day chocolate gift to suit every father figure. Why? To celebrate their quirks, uniqueness, and personality with nothing but great taste.

Why chocolate is a heartwarming gift for Father’s Day

We might be ever so slightly biased, but we believe that chocolate is an ideal Father’s Day gift because it appeals to almost everyone in some way. It also offers a memorable sensory experience.

For the dessert lovers? Look no further than our patisserie-inspired chocolates. For the health-conscious dads that enjoy a treat here and there? Explore our dark chocolate range. Maybe your dad is Vegan* or Vegetarian? We have that covered, too.

However, our favourite thing about gifting chocolate has to be that it symbolises warmth, love, and appreciation. All of which are sentiments we often express to our father figures. 

*We believe our dark and Nutmilk chocolate is suitable for vegans. However, as it is made in the same environment as our milk chocolate we cannot guarantee it is free from milk.

A chocolate gift for every kind of dad from Hotel Chocolat

Dads are often seen as one of our first protectors, comforters, and supporters. And no two dads are the same — and that’s something quite beautiful to celebrate on Father’s Day.

When you think about your father figure, they likely have their own loveable quirks, personality traits, and characteristics. Well, the same goes for our Father’s Day chocolate collection. Each chocolate gift for him shines with its own flash of flavour and texture — and we’re pretty sure we can match a chocolate gift to your “old man’s” personality.

For the dads who say they’ll ‘just take one’…

‘Ooh, what have you got there?’…

Our Happy Father’s Day Chocolate Pocket Collection presents a curated selection of eight unique chocolates. It’s the perfect amount for your dad to snack on as and when they wish, even if they ‘just want one’. 

Satisfy their cravings in a single bite. From the charming simplicity of the Simple Milk Truffle to the rich decadence of the Dizzy Praline, there’s a flavour to charm every palate. No matter if your dad enjoys the nutty crunch of Pecan or the fresh zest of Raspberry Panna Cotta, these treats are perfect for savouring. A little treat just for them, and them only.

For the parents who crave adventure…

If your dad is always on the go, or searching for their next adrenaline rush, look no further than our Chocolate Selectors. Take your dad on a thrilling adventure through flavour.

The Fire & Ice Chocolate Selector is a bold clash of extremes, perfect for the daredevil dad who enjoys the thrill of spicy chilli paired with the cool freshness of mint. Alternatively, for the dad who dreams of tropical escapes, gift them our Mezcal Chocolate Selector with its smoky notes or the vibrant Pineapple & Yuzu Selector to transport their taste buds to sunnier landscapes.

For the dads who like the finer things…

Pushing the boat out this Father’s Day? To add a touch of elegance to the day, our selection of chocolate macarons and truffles would make excellent confections. They blend a chocolatier’s craftsmanship with gourmet ingredients.

These gifts aren’t everyday treats, making your Father’s Day just a touch more special. Select your dad’s favourite flavours from our selection of smooth and rich Chocolate Truffles. Or, create a curated macaron selection from flavours like Caramel Cheesecake, Orange, Dark Chocolate, and Raspberry.

Less is more — and this is definitely true for the simplicity of our Chocolate Batons.

A treasure trove of organised and structured flavour. The perfect Father’s Day gift for dads who appreciate the finer, well-ordered things in life.

For the dads you want near, even when you’re far…

This gift set includes the elegantly designed Spark coffee cup, inspired by the cacao pod and crafted by Royal College of Arts ceramicist, Andrew Wicks. Its simple yet sophisticated design makes it the perfect vessel for any warm drink, be it a rich tea, a robust coffee, or a velvety-smooth hot chocolate.
