Favourite Christmas Gifts for a Foodie - Part 1: Artisan du Chocolate Advent Calendar

As the stores become more manic over the coming days and you wonder what to get that foodie fiend nearest and dearest to you, I thought I would invest some time and calories finding the perfect presents for the Season.

Artisan du Chocolat, the purveyor of some of the finest British handmade chocolates, has through offering its Christmas Advent Calendar, proved that life is a box of chocolates - perfect on the inside and the outside.

Made in Ashford, Kent by a small producer, this is a box of chocolate nirvana. I was first introduced to Artisan's wares via Ms P's love of their exceptional chocolate salted caramels. They have however, excelled themselves with the offering of these individually boxed handcrafted chocolates. This is the ultimate gift for the foodie that already has the mixer, the baker and the candle-stick maker.

Each Calendar offers a selection of flavours and textures over 25 happy days and has the best-dressed boxes of goodness to be found this side of the international dateline. The calendar costs £35 (pricey but worth every penny for the whole box and flavoursome dice).

Artisan has a number of stores in central London (Selfridges being one) and they have an online shopping portal that ships internationally. So, buy one for the foodie you love and one to treat yourself.
