“…at Charles Chocolates we want to make holiday shopping convenient, relaxing and fun…”

Holiday shopping can be so stressful – fighting crowds and looking for the perfect present, it just doesn’t seem to be very festive. But here at Charles Chocolates we want to make holiday shopping convenient, relaxing and fun. Over the next three weekends, we’ll be conducting a few special demos and events to make your holiday shopping experience a lot more fun. If you are ordering on-line, we are extending what turned out to be an extremely popular Free Shipping offer. Take advantage of this great offer during the entire month of December. Please see below for additional details.

I hope to see you all soon!
