When you are looking for a straightforward and enjoyable gift for your child or children for Christmas, it can be tough.
After all, most children in 2022 want something related to iPhones or even tablet computers, which is a lot of money to spend for most families. However, if you know that your kids like chocolate (which kids don’t?), then there are many affordable gift options available for them, which are fun, and memorable and will give them something to talk about or even learn from. Great.
So, without further ado, here are some of the best chocolate-related gift ideas for children which are great for Christmas, birthdays, or just for the sake of it.
At-Home Tasting Experience
You may be wondering what an at-home chocolate-based tasting experience is. Don’t they do that every time they eat a bar of chocolate anyway? Well, yes and no.
Known as virtual chocolate tasting, there is now the enjoyable and tasty option to have a range of chocolate bars sent to your home, wherein you and your child or children can partake in an online experience. This can involve learning about chocolate and learning about the different types that are available, all from the comfort of your own home, meaning no travel costs and no tired kids.
Trip to a Factory
Yes, it sounds like something from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but if you are up for a day out with your kids, then why not ramp it up and take them on a tour of a chocolate factory? Many factories offer guided tours to visitors, which can make a fun day out. These tours usually last between 1-2 hours and, of course, there is the gift shop at the end.
Chocolate Making Kit
Making chocolate is an interesting process and can be a fun way to introduce younger children to cooking, without it being overly technical. Plus, this can be done at home and can be a family activity.
There are lots of chocolate-making kits, or even chocolate recipes online, that you and your child or children can engage in together. This is perfect for a rainy day and great if your child wants to learn about making sweet treats for their friends and family. Plus, the best part is that you can customize what goes into the chocolate, to help with any food intolerances.
Hot Chocolate Bombs
Hot chocolate bombs are fantastic, and ideal for those colder winter nights that set in around Christmas and Thanksgiving. You can even make hot chocolate bombs yourself but, for most people, if you are looking to gift them, there are lots of tasty flavors available online for your kids to try, from mint chocolate to Belgian chocolate and even orange chocolate.
Personalized Hamper
Finally, a chocolate hamper is a great gift for your kids and there are a lot of options online which allow you to personalize the chocolate that goes into the hamper, as well as dietary requirements. That will keep everyone happy on Christmas day.
