Father knows best.
For as many years as I can remember now, when asked what sort of pressie he wanted my father would answer 'Chocolate'

Juvenile me would scoff and believe that my fertile imagination could come up with better ideas than that and so father endured a trickle of semi useful tat - radio bottle openers, multi-tool wotsits, solar powered beer chillers. You get the idea.

Now that I am older I finally understand. Your own stash of chocolate is bloody great. Thats what I'll be giving. That's what I want. In fact to short circuit the whole happy fucking joy bag holiday bonhomie I'll just going to buy some for myself.

PS - No you can't have any and the fact I have lots is a testament to my ability to plan ahead- Fuck off and play with your Chinese made future landfill gift

yep
That's what I'm giving my bestfriend's husband - a huge pile of chocolate! She'll kill me, figuratively I hope, but he'll bloody love it :)

Dairy Milk/Galaxy square grovelling is an art-form :)

I am a self-confessed chocoholic
Which in my experience is rare in a man. Anyway, I love the stuff so any chocolate-related gift is a good one - last year, I got a gift that combines my love of words with my love of chocolate in the form of chocolate Scrabble. An awesome Xmas gift due to the game element as well as the calorie intake.

Yep,
Never used to understand why my grandad always kept a toblerone and bourneville bar to himself that he didn't let any one else have. I do now though, first thing on the list is a white chocolate toblerone every year.

My Dad
always said "A Mars Bar".

For much the same reasons.

^^ My Dad,
Always said that! and it had to be Dairy milk. He still does, and he's dead chuffed if it's associated with single malt, now I'm a grown up..
