But which gift should you choose? We always think the best way to approach gifting is to think about the recipient’s likes and preferences. Consider the flavours and chocolate grades that Grandpa likes best. Read on for a bit of inspiration.

Gifts for the grandad who loves hot chocolate

Is he a fan of mellow milk chocolate? Then our Milky 50% Hot Chocolate will hit the spot. It’s got a higher cacao content than most milk chocolate, giving an irresistible depth of flavour. To crank the cacao factor up further, there’s our classic 70% Dark Hot Chocolate. Our special edition variety is presented in an elegant rose gold tin that Grandpa can reuse.

Alternatively, why not gift your grandad some more unique hot chocolate flavours this Father’s Day? Our Coconut White Chocolate is light yet satisfying with delicate tropical notes.You could also include his favourite hot chocolate toppings, maybe some marshmallows or chocolate flakes to take his hot cacao game to the next level. Pair it with a cosy mug or a Velvetiser for a complete gift that he’ll love to use again and again.

Hampers and chocolate boxes for flavour adventurers

Does your grandad enjoy exploring new flavours? Maybe he loves experimenting in the kitchen, cooking up a storm.

Why not offer him the opportunity to try a variety of different chocolates? Let him indulge in truffles, caramels, pralines, and filled chocolates from across the Hotel Chocolat collection. Our chocolate hampers and chocolate gift boxes will give him plenty of recipes to try.
