SEASON’S TREATINGS
It’s that time of the year to spread joy with a good dose of holiday gifting, and there’s no better way to usher in the Christmas spirit than with Godiva’s 2018 Holiday Collection
CHOCOLATE IS ONE of the most well-received gifts on any occasion, and Christmas is no exception. Confections from Godiva, in particular, are an especial treat. This year, the famed chocolatier puts a whimsical spin on traditional festive motifs and plays on nostalgia by creating bite-sized morsels of classic flavours.
Paying homage to cherished sweet treats around the world is the Holiday Dessert collection of bite-sized “mini cakes”. Enjoy the richness of a traditional pecan pie in the form of a decadent pecan praline enrobed in dark chocolate, or a white chocolate mocha mousse reinvented as a delightful whipped roasted mocha mousse encased in a smooth white chocolate shell. Not to be missed: the new Dark Chocolate Pear Vanilla, featuring soft pear combined with creamy vanilla mousse in a smooth dark chocolate shell, and the crowd favourite, Milk Chocolate Ganache, a 72 percent dark chocolate ganache in a milk chocolate shell.
Great as stocking stuffers or adorable tabletop decoration are a cast of penguin, roly-poly snowman and Santa Claus figurines moulded in dark chocolate, milk chocolate or hazelnut praline.
Meanwhile, beautiful illustrations by renowned illustrator Emily Carew Woodard give the limited-edition Holiday Collection Gift Boxes a fairy-tale-like vibe. The colourful imagery, reinterpretations of a festive wreath, is inspired by the iconic English carol The 12 Days of Christmas – spot the whimsical characters amid baubles and gifts.
Godiva’s Christmas Novelties, such as the plush Holiday Tree Shaped Pouch filled with assorted chocolates, will also have little ones swooning. And if you really want to spoil your loved ones, get one of the gift sets or hampers, all of which are packed with a good selection of seasonal offerings and all-time favourites.
