Settling into September
Why Luxury Chocolate is the Best Autumn Reset Pick–Me-Up
As we head into the autumn we are beginning to see a gentle shift in the seasons. The nights are drawing in, the evenings are cooler and the energy of the school holidays begins to slow as we begin to reset the alarm clocks and return to our daily routines. Be it heading back to school, or simply returning from a lovely lazy break away, slipping back into a busy regular routine can be jarring. But September also brings comfort and a sense of rhythm and we plan to help you achieve this with artisan chocolates made in Wales to provide a little luxury and some may say self care, with some luxury chocolate gifts, after school snacks, hot chocolate stirrers, Halloween chocolate treats and even some early Christmas gifts!
Reclaim your afternoon slump
If like me your mid-afternoon slump hits around 4pm as the days become shorter, instead of hitting the biscuit barrel, why not indulge in a chunk of some high-quality Welsh handmade chocolate. Reach for one of our delightful Florentines and sit back and relax with your brew for 5 minutes of pure indulgence. Or a single handcrafted truffles to offer that uplifting boost without the sugar spike. All things in moderation, so just the one, as I can guarantee you’ll be reaching for the second, so squirrel them away for your next indulgent moment, be it at home or in the office.
Explore Sarah Bunton’s handmade truffles, Florentines and Artisan Boxed Chocolates for your afternoon desk drawer or kitchen counter treat.
Generate those afternoon smiles
Discover how to make the back-to-school transition fun for children by celebrating the end of the school day/week with a selection of delights available from the kids corner. Provide a reward for a job well done, we have a wide range of chocolate lollies, chocolate mice, frogs, hedgehogs and owls that can bring joy after a long day in the classroom. Again, in moderation, but you can’t help loving the smiles generated by giving your children real handmade chocolate made with care in Wales.
Create a Cosy Autumnal Evening
Embrace a warming evening ritual and enjoy the magic of melting real artisan chocolate into a mug of warm milk to really enhance your hot chocolate. Simply stir in one of our delicious hot chocolate stirrers and sit back relax and enjoy, whether its in those wind down moments with the children whilst reading a bedtime story or simply sat alone as you steal 10 minutes in your peaceful surroundings.
If hot chocolate is not your thing, try our rich, buttery and melt in the mouth handmade fudge, the ideal companion for a cosy night on the sofa with your book.
Looking ahead
Dare we mention Christmas…is it too early? If like me you like to plan well ahead and promise yourself ‘this year I’ll be organised’, it’s not too early to start planning your Christmas gift ideas. Browse our full collection of artisan boxed chocolates and look out for our Christmas selection launching soon.
Too soon? Ok, how about Halloween, look out for our upcoming Halloween chocolate treats, perfect for spooky party favours along with some great trick or treating.
September is not just about getting back to business and the daily routine, it can also be an invitation to slow down, build those lovely warm family routines and savour the small pleasure of life…handmade artisan Welsh chocolate.
Enjoy!
