What to present for the New Year? If this question continues to cause you a headache and a nervous tic, then we is in a hurry to ease the pangs of choice.
The most fabulous holiday of the year should not cause difficulties, but bring joy and happiness. And what brings us joy and happiness? That’s right, chocolate!
Chocolate is our answer to your doubts: it is pleasant to both give and receive. In the new material, we tell why we think so and which one to choose.
1. Chocolate is a sign of luxury
In ancient times, only very wealthy people could afford a treat made from cocoa beans, and the most important persons of the ancient Aztecs, for example, leaders, were even buried in chocolate! Unlike Europeans, the inhabitants of South America have always been closer to precious sweets and used them as currency in their homeland.
Now chocolate has become more affordable, but still, for many, it remains a holiday treat, for example, when you can break a long diet and arrange a long-awaited cheat-meel.
You can feel the full taste of luxury by choosing candies and bars from different types of chocolate based on Ecuadorian cocoa beans. The brand also has a special collection in cooperation with the Embassy of Grenada – “Chocolate from Grenada”, which presents sweets from trinitario cocoa beans from ecologically clean plantations of the island of Grenada.
You can share a festive moment not only with those closest to you, but also with less familiar people. A beautiful chocolate set will be appreciated by your mom, your boss, and even the concierge in your house. For example, the Starry Sky collection from Is a stylish combination of colors and textures: noble blue velvet and satin with iridescent tints of aurora borealis. Such a gift will suit management and colleagues, including males, as well as completely unfamiliar people as a token of gratitude.
The Winter Forest collection will be appreciated by lovers of nature and skiing. Sets of sweets from this series are perfect for a New Year’s corporate party, which will plunge you into the warm atmosphere of gatherings in a country house with tea. Chocolate-fruit dragees, delicate jelly marmalade made from natural juices and handmade candies made from white chocolate colored in green matcha tea are responsible for the indescribable sensations.
Also at in the Living Planet catalog there are special sets for men in a restrained beige and chocolate range with golden embossing and designs with tailcoats, bow ties. For real tycoons and potential billionaires, a set in the form of gold and silver bars in a slightly shabby wooden chest is suitable.
3. The packaging is part of the gift
In France in the XNUMXth century, chocolate enjoyed great success, but the beans were more expensive than gold. In special workshops, craftsmen made it by hand, and wooden boxes were trimmed with velvet, silk and leather. An exquisite gift was accompanied by postcards, notes or brochures.
Now the chocolate industry has grown with new additives and mass production, but manual labor is still valued the most. So, for example, in you can find handmade sweets with a wide variety of flavors: chocolate, creamy, nutty, soufflé and meringue, grapes and vanilla. In addition to the most unusual and sweet combinations, the sets are decorated with fabulous insert cards with fluffy forest animals – foxes and squirrels.
4. Simple, convenient and tasteful
When buying a ready-made set, you do not need to strain your imagination, besides, the designers have already designed everything beautifully for you. For example, the collection “Bullfinches” from “Konfael” will delight you with the most festive shades – scarlet with gold decor. Options for the most sophisticated have been added to traditional tastes: the “Combined” sweets are filled with cherry-vanilla and strawberry-vanilla fillings, and the airy soufflé will envelop with the taste of a creamy ice cream in dark chocolate.
5. Sweets will decorate any holiday photo, table and Christmas tree
In the era of selfies and obligatory photos of food before meals, it’s a sin not to take New Year’s shots that convey the comfort or pomp of what is happening. And sweets will come to the rescue!
Previously, sweets were a rare pampering, so they earned their place of honor on the tree. You can decorate the New Year tree and the main attribute of the celebration with figurines or handmade chocolate in a beautiful wrapper. In the collection of symbols of the New 2021 from naturalistic bulls are represented: look for them both on chocolate cards and on curly chocolate bars.

The brand also has ready-made chocolate Christmas tree toys in the form of funny gobies and cows, and you don’t have to puzzle over how and what to hang on the tree. You can please the guests at the New Year’s table with small compliment chocolates, and the children can be occupied with coloring pages made of white chocolate with edible chocolate paints.
In any era and season, sweets are the best sign of attention and a necessary attribute of the holiday. It was not for nothing that the famous traveler and navigator Fernando Cortez, upon his return to Spain, gave the king a gift in the form of cocoa beans with a recipe for the magic drink of chocolatl.
