Holiday

[Beauty Maven]

I just cancelled all my advance orders for M64506 -- 3 lb box of Harry London chocolates, $52.40 each.  

Luckily, I was watching today when they presented M65706 -- 5 lb holiday tin for $53.20, just 80 cents more for two extra pouds of chocolate!

Timing is everything!!

@Beauty Maven   Never had these chocolates are they as good as they look?

@dulwich-- I've never had them either.  I just thought the boxes, and now the tins with the individually wrapped chocolates would make beautiful gifts.  And yes, I'll keep a tin at my house for visitors, to use in gift bags, or to eat ;o)  Hopefully, I don't eat 5 lbs of candy all by myself!!  I'll report back on the quality of the chocolate -- a job I will take very seriously!!!!!

I find them to be just "okay".  Maybe somewhat better than what I can get in the grocery store.  I buy the big tin every year for my dental office at Christmas.  They have a couple of dozen people working there, and I like that the candies are individually wrapped.  There are enough that I know everyone can get a few.

Honestly, if I had any type of decent shopping where I live, I'd probably buy something else.  (I buy the smaller boxes of Harry and David truffles for the other smaller professional offices I gift for the holidays.)

@Beauty Maven- Wow, that's a huge difference and you get a nice, reusable tin instead of just a box.  Congratulations on being an observant shopper!

I've had the Harry London chocolates several times, and they are just ok. Not bad, and not to die for. 

I don't like their buckeyes, because if you are from Ohio, you usually make your own, and they are much better than those manufactured ones from anywhere. Add to it the candy that has the pretzels in it, that I consider to be kind of cheapo, and there isn't enough of the types I think are better and more worth the money, to buy this year's offering. 

It was hard to say no though, because I loved the tin! lol

These are not worth the calories to me and way too much candy for me but I’m glad you found a better deal. That’s always a good feeling. 

If you have an Aldi or Lindl in your area, the chocolates are imported from Europe and are delicious and inexpensive and packaged for gift giving.

I prefer the Waggoner chocolates from ShopHQ. The mint chocolate is our favorite.

Thanks for the tip @GenXmuse -- There is an Aldi in my neighborhood.  I never thought to look there, but it makes sense that they would have have European chocolate since they're a German company.  I appreciate the suggestion!

@GenXmuse  LOVE the Aldi chocolate. Delicious and you can't beat the price, you can taste the difference.
