Advantages: Great selection, free personalisation service

Disadvantages: Can be expensive depending on your choice / taste

Thorntons are the ultimate chocolate emporium! The store offers a great selection of chocolate to suit all tastes including diabetic chocolate. They offer a free personalisation service, which is excellent for gift giving. They have all sorts of shapes which can be iced, e.g. princess or teddy bears. They have a selection of hand made chocolates so that rather than buy a pre-packed box of chocolates you can put extra thought and care into choosing something you know they will love!

They usually have great ideas in for all the major holidays and there is something for just about every pocket. From time to time they have special offer days - most recently a 30% off everything day which was amazing! Christmas is a great time at Thorntons with good value selection boxes including things like little packets of chocolate raisins, chocolate lollipops and something for everyone. Well packaged and a better idea than buying a generic selection box which is bound to contain something they will leave at the back of the cupboard!

Some branches also offer a coffee shop. Our local coffee shop is well staffed clean and bright with a good variety of "not very healthy" snacks and cakes. Worth a treat and not as expensive as I originally thought at around £3.20 for 2 speciality coffees.

Ideal for a gift, everything from lollipops and variety bags for children to individual chocolates which allow you to hand pick your very own collection. We give either a princess of a football iced with the childs name as part of a gift at birthdays and the personal touch always goes down well. Prices for these range from around £3.50 to £6.

All in all - a must for chocolate lovers and a great place to add that special touch to a gift.

Summary: Take your pick at Thorntons - and watch out for the coffee shops!
