Every family has one person who studies the box like it is an exam paper. Then they take the one you had your eye on anyway.
The Thorntons Classic Chocolate Box is the one that turned up for birthdays, thank-yous and Mother's Day back home, and somehow got opened before anyone read the card.
It is a mixed box of proper British chocolates from Thorntons, the Sheffield chocolatier that has been at this since 1911. No surprises, which is exactly the point.
Put it on the coffee table, take the lid off and watch the negotiations begin.

More about Thorntons Classic Chocolate Box
Thorntons sits in a particular spot in British chocolate. It is a step up from the corner-shop bar, the box you pick up when you want it to look as though you thought about it, even if you grabbed it on the way.
People in Canada go looking for it because the box itself is a memory: a nan's sideboard, a teacher's present at the end of term, the thank-you for the neighbour who fed the cat. When you want to say thanks the way your family always did, it has to be this one.
The box holds 262g of assorted chocolates, a good size for sharing between a few people or for one determined person over a week. Keep it somewhere cool, away from the radiator, and put the lid back on so the ones nobody likes can be quietly ignored until Thursday.
Thorntons is just as well known in Britain for its toffee and fudge, so the name carries a lot of goodwill. If you are putting together a parcel for someone who misses home, a box of these next to a packet of proper tea says plenty without a card.
