Shoppers can get £24 worth of chocolate for under £10 with this pre-Christmas deal
People looking for a last-minute gift for anyone obsessed with chocolate could get a bundle of luxury treats for a fraction of the price in time for Christmas with a certain online deal. The personal Marks and Spencer gift hamper can even be sent straight to someone’s door, meaning one less present to wrap.
Neatly arranged in letterbox-friendly packaging, the Collection Chocolate Letterbox Gift from M&S has been a fan favourite to send all year round, according to reviews. The store says it is packed with items that offer a perfect selection box-style present this Christmas.
The description on the M&S website reads: “Chocolate fans will love this Collection Chocolate Bar Letterbox Gift. It’s filled with a range of delicious chocolate bars, including White with Madagascan Vanilla, Blood Orange Dark Milk, and Blond Chocolate with Italian Almonds.”

M&S bosses add that this “elevated collection” would make an “ideal gift for the chocoholic in your life”. Those sending this treat as a gift can also add a personalised message when placing their order.
Delivery times can vary depending on how close to Christmas it gets, but most can be dropped through the letterbox with as little as a day’s notice. The website claims: “Products will last a minimum of 14 days on receipt – most will be longer however, please check the dates on each pack.”
The box usually costs £25, which includes UK-wide delivery. But, savvy shoppers can take advantage of a deal stack to get the bundle for even less.
TopCashback, a free cashback website that pays its users a percentage of the commission it receives from retailers, is offering a £15 bonus to all new members who sign up for free. Once they make their first purchase over £15, they’ll not only receive the £15 bonus, but also a percentage of the commission made on qualifying purchases.
This means that new TopCashback members making their first purchase at Marks and Spencer will effectively get the Collection Chocolate Letterbox Gift for just £9.58 after cashback and the bonus. Meanwhile, existing M&S customers who are also new Top Cashback members can get the Letterbox Gift for £9.73.
People were praising the bundle, which had a “lovely selection”. One shopper, who awarded the product five stars online, said: “Some of the best chocolate we have ever eaten. The orange one was amazing.”
Another wrote: “The recipient was delighted to receive this gift and said the selection of bars was tasty and varied.” A third put in their review: “Delicious selection of fine chocolates. Well presented. Good value for money.”
One more called it “chocolate heaven, and put: “Good gift for chocoholics or indeed for those who may be awkward to buy for.” Some did complain that the items had short use-by dates by the time they had arrived to their recipient.
Another put: “Very disappointing as there were too many dark chocolate bars and not enough milk – won’t be buying again.” A third let others know: “Milk chocolate was nice but [I found] the high cocoa varieties were inedible.”
