For many gift retailers, confectionery is a strong seller in the run up to Christmas, with Cocoba Chocolate among the exhibitors at Harrogate Home & Gift (16-19 July, stand M-FE07).
The artisan chocolatier’s new Christmas range will be featured for the first time, together with a selection of gift-led handmade Belgian chocolate bars, chocolate covered bites and truffles, hot chocolate spoons, flakes and best-selling hot chocolate bombes. The range also includes a vegan and dairy-free chocolate selection.
“We’re seeing an industrywide trend for premium chocolate gifting options,” states Cocoba’s founder Darren Litton. “Consumers are seeking out new flavours and shaped items. In particular, our boozy chocolate bombes have been a firm customer favourite, and we are looking to introduce exciting colour changing bombes and popping candy Santas to the range.”
The full A-Z of exhibitors can be found at www.homeandgift.co.uk.
