Gifting Help

Everything you need to send a thoughtful chocolate gift with confidence.

Can I Send an Order Directly to Someone Else as a Gift?

Yes. During checkout, enter the recipient's shipping address instead of your own. The order will ship directly to them.

Will the Recipient See How Much I Paid?

No. We never include receipts, invoices, or pricing information in any shipment. Because so many of our orders are gifts, this is how we handle every order by default. The only person who sees the receipt is the buyer, and it's sent by email only.

Can I Include a Gift Message?

Yes. You can add a free gift note at checkout. We print it on a card and include it with the order.

What's a Good Chocolate Gift for Someone New to Craft Chocolate?

Our World Chocolate 10 Bar Gift Box is our most popular gift and a strong starting point. It includes a curated selection of bars from different origins and makers, so the recipient can explore a range of flavors without needing to know the category first.

For other options, browse our gift collections for curated sets at different price points.

Do You Offer Gift Cards?

Yes. Bar & Cocoa gift cards are available online and let the recipient choose exactly what they want. It's a good option when you're not sure which bars to pick, or when you want to let someone explore on their own.

What's the Difference Between the Dark & Classic and Adventure Boxes?

The Dark & Classic box focuses on approachable, well-rounded dark chocolate bars. The Adventure box leans toward bolder, more unusual flavors and origins. If you're gifting to someone who already enjoys dark chocolate, the Adventure box can feel more exciting. If the recipient is newer to craft chocolate or you're unsure of their taste, the Dark & Classic box is a reliable choice.

How Far in Advance Should I Order a Gift?

For standard shipping within the U.S., we recommend ordering at least 5 to 7 business days before you need it to arrive. During holidays or peak gifting periods, ordering earlier is a good idea.

You can also select a future ship date at checkout, so you can place your order now and schedule it to ship closer to the occasion. Expedited shipping options are available at checkout if you need faster delivery.

During warmer months, we may hold shipments briefly to protect the chocolate from heat. If timing is critical, reach out to us before ordering and we'll help you plan.

Does the Order Arrive Looking Gift-Ready?

We pack every order with care and use clean, minimal packaging. While we don't include decorative gift wrap, orders are presented neatly and are suitable for gifting as they arrive. If presentation is especially important, pairing with a gift note adds a personal touch.

Can I Gift a Subscription?

Yes. When purchasing a subscription, select the gift option at checkout. We'll ask for the recipient's name and email so they can manage their deliveries and shipping address. You can also print a Chocolate Club Gift Certificate to give in person.

Gift subscriptions do not renew automatically. When the term ends, the recipient is not charged.
