Easter hampers & chocolate delights!

It's that time of year again! The time of year when most of us let go of our healthy eating plans, and indulge in our favourite chocolate Easter eggs! Whether it be a string of marshmallow eggs, white coated and chocolate filled eggs, chocolate bunnies, or mini chocolate balls - the choices are endless!

You simply can't help but be bombarded by these chocolate treats as soon as you walk into your local supermarket. If you're looking for something a little different this year, and would like to give the shopping trip a skip - we've put together a few Easter hampers that include a variety of some of the most popular chocolate Easter eggs!

There are three Easter hampers to choose from, and prices range from R160 - R225. We can arrange deliveries in the Cape Town area at a small additional fee, or you're welcome to collect from us directly by prior arrangement.

You can view a full list of contents for each hamper on our website - www.chisani.co.za

Wishing you a safe and happy Easter!

There's always time for coffee...

There's nothing better than getting the morning started with a great cup of coffee, enjoying a cappuccino while out shopping, or ending the evening off with a shot of kahlua in your coffee.

Last year we made up a few hampers that included cappuccino and flavoured coffee sticks, and we had such great feedback on them, we knew that with the launch of the new website - coffee hampers were a must! This one is the Chocolate and Coffee hamper, which we created as a Valentine's gift for one of our customers.



This hamper is perfect to give on almost any occasion, spoil a friend or colleague on their birthday, or send it as a corporate or "Thank You" gift. It also makes a great Father's day or Bosses day gift. Filled with chocolate and Amarula fudge, lindor truffles, Ferrero Rocher chocolates, a Toblerone chocolate, 2 x mini Amarula bottles, Dutch Chocolate coffee and coffee & chocolate cookies, this coffee themed hamper really is a treat for those that love their coffee!

For something slightly smaller you can try our Mocha Choca hamper, and if you're looking to indulge in something a bit bigger, treat yourself or someone else to the Large Chocolate & Coffee hamper.

Special Requests: The Birthday Box

From time to time customers request a specially made up gift box, gift hamper or personalised gift book. These are my favourite type of gifts to put together because they are completely personalised (with the gift receivers favourite items, and themed to their personality or favourite colours), and you just know that the end result is going to blow them away. Not only will they be completely surprised by the gift - but more importantly, they'll be very touched by the thought and effort that went behind it all! And THAT'S what giving a gift is all about!

I was asked to custom create a Birthday Gift Box last year. The customer was very specific with what his girlfriend liked, and this included the colours purple/maroon and yellow, mint chocolates, cat slippers, cute teddy bears, bath soaps and jewellery.




I managed to find this perfect pair of cat slippers, some purple coloured roses, a cute purple teddy bear and a cat notebook. For something personalised, I included a keyring with his girlfriends name on a pink/purple background. I also included various types of mint flavoured chocolates, vanilla candles, and a selection of the beautiful Oh So Heavenly Dream bath time pamper products.




The box had to be made up in 4 layers - each one with a different theme. The four layers consisted of: personalised items, bath time treats, chocolate treats and jewellery & clothes. I created the box with a cardboard crate that I covered in purple plain and designed gift wrap, and made the lid out of thick purple cardboard. The entire box was then wrapped in gold/yellow ribbon with a rose decoration at the top.
