A third option: the chocolate bouquet
If you want the look of flowers with the taste of chocolate, a chocolate bouquet sits between the two. The Ferrero Lindt Chocolate Bouquet Medium ($99) is built by hand from Ferrero Rocher and Lindt balls and is pollen-free, so it suits hospitals and offices where flowers are not welcome. It is not allergy free: our chocolates contain milk and may contain nuts.
Delivery and timing
