For Valentine's Day, a milestone worth celebrating together or a genuine "thank you", there is always a gift that conveys your love.

Easter is a time that heralds spring, new birth, and the promise of summer to come. The first thing we often think of when someone says ‘Easter’ is chocolate, and if you are a chocolate lover then this time of year is a taste sensation!

Sadly for adults, the celebration is mainly centred around buying chocolate eggs for children, but Fashions Finest thinks that we deserve some chocolatey goodness this year, so we have found some delicious treats…just for adults!

Have a look at our mouth-watering selections below for some inspiration before you buy your Eater gifts this year.

Hotel Chocolat Easter Sleekster £22.95

This Easter chocolate box has something for every grown-up. The beautiful selection of little eggs are brimming with caramels, pralines and different tipples too. Hotel Chocolat has mixed their firm favourites with some more exciting additions for spring into this Easter Sleekster, so that whether you’re feeling daring or just looking for a comforting classic flavour, you’ll find it in this box.

With three eggs of each flavour in this sumptuous sleekster, this is the perfect gift for a couple, or even to take to an Easter party. With flavours like the smooth and nutty hazelnut praline under 50% cocoa milk chocolate, zingy raspberry cream lovingly wrapped in 65% supermilk chocolate, delicate french champagne and boozy simnel cake, champagne-infused whipped cream and amaretto flavours mixed with bright orange notes and warming cinnamon, everyone will be pleased with this gift.

The only question is - will 30 chocolates be enough? We’re not sure, but if you can find a place to hide them, you may be able to make them last the whole weekend!

Personalised Rocky Loaded Egg-£16.99

If you know someone who is always disappointed by the hollow chocolate eggs available to buy this time of year, then this one is for you!

Getting Personal offer us this beautiful creation, personalised with a name or message, and loaded with rocky road instead of being hollow.

Made from Belgian milk chocolate, and featuring a Maltesers Bunny®, Cadbury’s Mini Eggs®, mini mallow bunnies, and golden sugar pearls this is an extra special easter gift for the grownup with a sweet tooth, and with a shelf life of 4 months if stored in original packaging, it doesn’t have to be eaten all at once! (if that is even possible)

Baileys Chocolate Liqueur From £12.00

Baileys has found a solution for those of us who enjoy Chocolate so much we would happily drink it, and also love a spot of alcohol, by mixing the two. Marrying real chocolate with Irish whiskey for its Chocolate Liqueur, Baileys has been exciting chocolate enthusiasts the world-over.

A luxurious blend of Belgian chocolate, cream and Irish whiskey which apparently took years of tasting the finest chocolate from around the world to find the right one to develop. The outcome was designed to replicate the experience of drinking melted chocolate.

Perfect for indulgent relaxing over the Easter holiday, this is a dangerously drinkable liqueur which does not need an Easter egg pairing…unless you really want to go wild of course!

For a chocolate lover who already enjoys the taste of Baileys, this rich, luxurious, Baileys chocolate liqueur, crammed with Irish dairy cream, fine spirits including smooth Irish whiskey, tasty Belgian chocolate flavour and other ingredients and flavours might just be the perfect Easter gift.

Baileys Chocolat Luxe is a bottle of grown-up chocolate loveliness.

Cox & Co. Dark Chocolate Easter Egg From £10.00

Some people prefer their chocolate dark, and Cox & Co. have beautiful, decadent and very grown-up chocolate eggs for adults this Easter.

Dark chocolate is full of rich source of antioxidants and minerals, and it generally contains less sugar than milk chocolate, making it a much healthier choice of sweet treats. Some research also suggests that dark chocolate may help lower the risk of heart disease, reduce inflammation and improve brain function, so this dark chocolate might be just the gift for someone you know this Easter.

Made from the finest Colombian 85% dark chocolate, and containing roasted cocoa nibs, this lovely easter egg, suitable for Vegans, and packaged in entirely recyclable and compostable packaging, is sure to delight a grown-up you know this Easter.
