    Do you have any Tecso clubcard or Sainsbury's nectar points? You could always redeem some against a box in either of those stores..?

    Surely if you can afford to go away you can afford more than a fiver?

    Cadbury's Koko Milk Chocolate Truffles 2 for the price of 1 at Sainsburys £4

    Green and Blacks Organic Miniature Bars Collection £3.82 at Tesco

    And how come when somebody on MSE asks a perfectly reasonable question about buying chocolate some A hole has to question their moral values?

    I have 2 grown-up daughters who don't remember our anniversary - your parents will be really pleased that you put thought (and money) into a gift.

    If you can get to M&S, their Belgian chocs are pretty good, and I think £5 will get you a small but lovely box at Thornton's. They have bags of luxury truffles etc for about £2.60.

    I agree. My three kids are hard pushed to remember my birthday never mind our anniversary. I also agree that M and S Belgian chocolates are good and so are Thorntons.

    It might be worth first considering whether they have a preference for milk or plain chocolate and then choosing accordingly. Belgian chocolates often contain a mixture of both so they might be a good choice.

    The Koko ones are £3 at Co-op, which isn't as good as Sainsbury's but you might find it easier to get to. They also have Roses/Heroes for £3, and various boxes of Lily O'Briens chocolates for less than £5.
