Christmas is a season shaped by rituals. Wrapping gifts with a glass of red wine late at night. Picking out a new wrapping paper for the gifts under this year’s tree. Making a list of those who made an impact on your life and deserve a special thanks. More than ever, we find enjoyment in the small, simple things.
At Honest Chocolat, we mirror this same passion for quality over quantity and taking the time to savour small moments. Our artisan chocolates are created by hand in small batches, using quality ingredients chosen for flavour and balance. Perfect for family, friends, colleagues or clients, our Christmas chocolates are a thoughtful gift that any recipient will be delighted to open on Christmas morning.
Handcrafted Chocolates for Every Recipient
What makes chocolate such a wonderful choice for gifting is that it’s so flexible. A single chocolate bar can be a thoughtful stocking filler or small gift, while a carefully chosen gift box brings a sense of excitement and occasion.
We make sure to cover both ends of that scale, so you can order festive chocolate gifts for everyone from your child’s teacher to your fiancé, with a suitable budget to match. We also stock a wide range of gluten-free, soy-free and vegan chocolate gifts, making it easier to find gifts that suit a wide mix of people without having to compromise on taste.
Artisan Chocolate Made in Small Batches
The focus at Honest Chocolat has always been on flavour clarity. Fillings are smooth and balanced, never heavy or overly sweet, which allows the star ingredients to take the spotlight.
Seasonal selections include favourites such as Raspberry and Ginger, Salted Caramel, Matakana Coffee Mocha, and Kawau Bay Macadamia. Alongside these are more distinctive local flavours for the connoisseurs, including Matakana Olive Oil, Brick Bay Wine, and Sawmill Brewery Beer. Each brings something different to the collection, balancing familiar comforts with exotic surprises.
Festive Chocolate Gift Boxes and Seasonal Collections
Presentation is almost as important as the gift at Christmas. When we create our gift boxes, we don’t take that responsibility lightly. Our boxes are arranged with attention to colour and shape, so they have the ‘wow’ factor that begins before the first bite.
Alongside our core collections, over the festive season we also release limited-edition chocolate gifts, such as our Christmas Bonbons, Salted Caramel Christmas Bells, and Merry Christmas Limited Edition Box. If you’re ordering for a group or looking for corporate gifts, our team can help you curate the perfect selection to suit your budget.
Order Chocolate Online or Shop In-Store
For a chance to see the full range up close and sample before choosing, pop into one of our stores at Commercial Bay or Matakana. At our Matakana store, you can also see where much of the chocolate is made.

Christmas is a busy time, and popular items do tend to sell quickly, so ordering ahead is recommended if you have particular flavours or quantities in mind.
