I am not a fan of shopping at Christmas, but I do love browsing and window shopping. The atmosphere is always electric, wonderful Christmas smells, shops packed with people; it’s the queues I hate and the disappointment of not being able to buy what you want as the shop has sold out.

I shop online! No queues, no fuss and with most items you are not limited to the stock in one shop, as they come from a main warehouse.

So where are the best places to buy your chocolate online for Christmas?
