Presentation is part of the gift
Look for clear photographs and a useful description of the box. A ribbon alone does not tell you about the chocolates inside.
Read the flavour selection
A praline assortment, a dark-chocolate collection or a truffle box can each feel special. Choose flavours the recipient enjoys rather than the most unusual option.
Keep the contents clear
Check weight, piece count where provided and any alcohol fillings. Do not assume every luxury selection is handmade or that every item is suitable for a particular diet.
Consider timing
Order with enough time for delivery, and follow the storage instructions. Keep chocolate away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.
