Silver baubles, dangly stars, fairy lights and chocolates, hundreds of chocolates, filled the shop.
‘Hi, how can I help?’
‘I’ve been put in charge of the sweets for the children’s Christmas stockings – any ideas?’ The thirty-something gentleman smiled hopefully.
‘Of course. We have reindeers, Santas, and angels in chocolate lollipops – great stocking fillers. There are figures of Father Christmas, too. Also, we have snowy stars in a pretty bag – little girls love those, I can vouch for my nieces – and packs of chocolate-dipped fudge.’
‘Well, there’s three kids to cater for, two boys and a girl, so can I have a selection? Oh, and I’d better get a nice box of chocolates for the wife.’
Emma pointed to the three sizes of gold boxes, positioned on the top of the truffle and ganache refrigerated display. ‘Large, medium or small?’
With a queue listening in behind him, and thoughts of fulfilling Christmas wishes on his mind, he went for the large.
‘Any particular favourites for your wife?’
‘Umm, she likes champagne truffles and caramels, I think, but a variety would be good.’
