'Show your appreciation with this luxury, handmade papier mache bonbonnière, filled with our decadent and delicious assorted chocolate coated'
'Our bonbonnières are always a show stopping gift'
Our bonbonnières are inspired by a centuries-old European tradition, where hosts would present guests with beautifully crafted keepsake boxes filled with delicate sugar confections — a gesture symbolising celebration, generosity and good fortune.
Traditionally given at special occasions such as weddings, christenings and birthdays, these elegant boxes were designed to leave a lasting impression. Today, Rita Farhi bonbonnières continue this legacy, each one crafted from papier mâché and hand-painted, creating a truly unique and decorative gift.
Inside, discover an indulgent selection centred around rich dark chocolate-coated almonds. Carefully roasted almonds are enrobed in smooth dark chocolate and finished with a delicate cocoa dusting, enhancing their deep, intense flavour and satisfying crunch.
This harmonious combination of premium ingredients and expert craftsmanship delivers a refined chocolate experience — perfectly balanced, deeply indulgent, and beautifully presented for gifting.

What is a bonbonnière and what is the history behind Farhi's design?
A bonbonnière is a centuries-old European tradition in which hosts would present guests at celebrations — weddings, christenings, birthdays — with a beautifully crafted keepsake box containing delicate confections, as a symbol of good fortune and generosity. Farhi's bonbonnières continue this heritage with the utmost care: each one is handmade from papier-mâché and individually hand-painted by artisans in Kashmir, India, resulting in a truly unique, decorative object that is as beautiful to look at as it is to receive. Designs may vary, ensuring every bonbonnière is one of a kind.
What chocolates are inside the bonbonnière?
Inside this large handmade bonbonnière you will find 260g of Farhi's sun-ripened, carefully selected almonds, smothered in premium milk, dark and white chocolate — an assortment of three distinct chocolate coatings, each offering a different flavour experience. The dark chocolate contains a minimum of 64% cocoa solids, while the milk and white chocolates each deliver their own creamy sweetness. The entire selection is made without palm oil, and the almonds account for 29% of each piece, ensuring a generous, satisfying nut-to-chocolate ratio.
Is the bonbonnière reusable, and what occasions is it ideal for?
Absolutely — the bonbonnière is designed to be treasured long after its contents have been enjoyed. Its handmade papier-mâché construction and hand-painted artisan detailing make it a keepsake worthy of display, whether used as a jewellery box, a decorative vessel or simply a beautiful object on a dressing table or shelf. It is an exceptional choice for weddings, christenings, significant birthdays, Eid celebrations, and any occasion where the gift itself should be as memorable as the sentiment behind it.
