On the
Christmas Eve of 2012 I was snuggled up on the sofa with Leo, we were sat
watching the premier of The Snowman and The Snowdog. It was the very first year
that this new adaption had ever been shown, and it took us all by surprise in
the sense that we all loved it.
This
year I was really glad to welcome it back to the television screen on Christmas Eve, and although this year I couldn’t keep my toddler still enough
to watch it, we still had it on in the background as Leo played energetically,
dancing around the room.
This
year Thorntons released some very sweet festive additions to their lines, in
the form of some very much loved characters. The Snowman and his canine friend…
The Snowdog.
We tried
a selection of the Thorntons range and I was instantly impressed with the
selection available. In the selection that we personally tried there was enough
to cater for many different tastes, the majority of it was White Chocolate, but
the selection box had a mixture.
I
personally am not a massive White Chocolate fan, but luckily I had a helping
hand in the form of Granny and my younger sister. So between them they shared
the Snowman and Snowdog chocolates. They were a nice size and the detail that
has gone into the modelled chocolates is just lovely. We all agreed that they
would make a great Christmas gift for someone.
If
budget is something you think about, like me at this time of year, you will be
pleased to know that Thorntons have taken this into account. We all want to
give the gift of luxury but we don’t want to have to move heaven and earth on
each occasion… Christmas can be enough work in itself. Prices start from as
little as £0.89p for some of the smaller chocolates such as the White Chocolate
Lolly and the Mini Snowman and Snowdog. They range up to £30.00 for a very
festive Christmas Hamper which includes a great selection of the Snowman
selections.
Judging
by how quiet everyone went when I handed out some of the goodies (until Leo
decided to steal some of the Snowdog off his Auntie…) I would say that they
were thoroughly enjoyed. The detail is lovely, and of course the chocolate is
as always very tasty.
