Gift Packaging & Personalisation
Ready to give, straight from the box
A MayHawk chocolate bar is designed to feel like a gift before it’s ever placed in a gift box. Each bar carries its own artwork — designed in-house, with discreet branding and embossed foil work. The outer packaging box stays restrained, so the chocolate and its own memorable designs do the work, rather than layers of decoration built up around it. The history of Chocolate Boxes as gifts can be read in one of our Insight Articles.
What’s inside speaks for itself before it’s even opened — the presentation already tells the recipient something about who chose it. Within each collection set are bars made of single-origin, bean-to-bar craft chocolate — this is a curated selection of bars, with unique designs, which go into a smart fully recyclable outer kraft box, sealed with a simple white label. This is packaging made with the Earth in mind. It arrives finished and ready to give — nothing further to wrap, dress, or arrange.
A message, made personal
Personalisation isn’t a checkout field here — it’s a conversation. Get in touch with customer service before ordering, and we’ll help put together the gift and the card that goes with it. Your message is printed on a card and included with the order, arranged around what you actually want to say rather than picked from a template.
Whether it’s a simple thank-you, a birthday message, or something more personal, the aim is the same: a gift that feels chosen specifically for them.
Getting there without giving anything away
The recipient won’t see a battered shipping carton, with a gift box rattling about inside, and nothing about the outer box gives away what’s inside. It’s a plain, smart, and appropriately sized brown box with an address label and minimal branding, fully recyclable or reusable. The gift itself is sealed in its kraft box, and only appears once the outer box is opened.
Why restraint reads as more considered than embellishment
Luxury doesn’t need to announce itself. MayHawk doesn’t add foiling, seasonal decoration, or extra layers of packaging just to make a gift look more expensive than it is. The care is in the chocolate, how we make it, its artwork, and the box that holds it — not in what surrounds all of that. Our focus is on what is most important to people. How do we make innovative, beautiful tasting chocolate? How do we make this product visually compelling? Is this product and packaging made naturally, with ethical and environmental considerations?
Our packaging is recyclable throughout, from the bar box to the outer kraft and transit packaging. The gift feels considered because of what’s inside and how it’s made, not because it’s wrapped in more material than it needs. Choosing restraint over something louder is its own quiet form of taste — the kind of judgement that doesn’t need to announce itself to be noticed.
