WHAT IS A VEGAN CHOCOLATE HAMPER?
A vegan chocolate hamper is exactly what it sounds like: a hamper filled with delicious vegan chocolate, all wrapped up and ready to present to that special someone. Of course, this doesn't necessarily have to be in a hamper. The spirit of the gift, what makes it a banging present (if we do say so ourselves), is that it is a huge container of chocolate. So simple, yet so effective. It's also a hugely versatile gift. A hamper can be filled with any kind of chocolate that your heart desires - as long as it's vegan of course (then again, we won't tell if you won't!). So whether you want to mix Salted Caramel M:lk Choc Bars and Salted Caramel Butter Cups because they're your best friend's favourite, or empty out The Ultimate Mega Mix and call it a day (because you don't know Sophie from work that well anyway), a vegan chocolate hamper is so easy that you could throw it together in your sleep.
WHO TO GIFT A VEGAN CHOCOLATE HAMPER
It's the perfect gift because it can be as personal as you need it to be. This means that it's a great way to show your sister you love her OR to convince Tina from the office that you're not annoyed about pulling her name for secret santa for the third year in a row (you're probably quite annoyed, but that's okay because we've clearly got you covered). While a vegan letterbox gift is ready to go (and if you've read one of our previous blogs, Epic Vegan Chocolate Letterbox Gifts, you'll know exactly how much we love them), a vegan chocolate hamper has a little bit of pizzazz, and goes the extra mile, because you're choosing exactly what to include. The days of picking out your faves from the box are gone, because they can all be your faves.
So, who should you gift a vegan chocolate hamper?
Your mother. Your father. Your sister. Your brother.
While this is the intro to an absolute tune (Ant and Dec will always hold a special place in our hearts), it's also the truth. A hamper is the perfect gift for anyone and everyone. Family, friends, neighbours, colleagues, teachers and shop assistants will all love a hamper - partly because it's from you, and partly because it's full of the tastiest vegan chocolate on the market. Creamy chocolate and decadent fillings, bursting with flavour without artificial nonsense, do we even need to say more?
It doesn't matter whether you're gifting a vegan, because you honestly can't taste the difference. Vegans, unvegans, anti-vegans and everyone in between will be loving you after receiving one of these bad lads.
WHAT TO INCLUDE IN A VEGAN CHOCOLATE HAMPER
Deciding to gift a vegan chocolate hamper is easy; deciding what to include in it's the hard part. There are three things you need to consider when planning the contents of your hamper: Who you'll be gifting. Their likes and dislikes.Any allergens.
Of course, if you don't know the answers to these questions, that's fine too. It just means that you need to play it safe. And if for some reason they don't like, or can't have, the vegan chocolate that you've picked, they'll definitely be able to find someone to regift it to (or even better, they'll appreciate the effort and say that you can keep it!).
We're pretty confident that no matter choose, it'll be a hit. But just in case you're friends with some weirdos, we've made a quick guide. Here's everything that we would include, as self-confessed chocaholics. We're the kind of people that eat chocolate for breakfast, so you know you're in safe hands.
