While the rest of the world get to ‘enjoy’ freezing cold festive periods, here in Australia, where our Summer just so happens to coincide with December, we’re facing a host of different problems. Not only do we have to take extra precautions when transporting an ice cream based dessert to a loved one’s home – we’re often pretty limited in the gift buying department.
But if you’re planning on purchasing a selection of melt-able treats this festive period, then there’s actually no need to hold off on the Christmas chocolates – especially if you pay careful attention to these effective ways to stop your gifts from melting. Some of them are so simple that you might just kick yourself for not thinking of them; so, without further ado, let’s take a look.
Time Your Purchase
If you already have an idea about the stylish chocolate treat that you’d like to buy for a particular recipient, the chances are that you’ll want to make a purchase to minimise the risk of experiencing a festive delivery-delay. That can certainly be a great idea, but with so many online gift making companies now prioritising the speed of their Christmas deliveries, there really isn’t much reason to feel worried. Nowadays you can easily order a week or two in advance and still trust that your delivery will be with your recipient on time.
Freezer Bags Can Be a Blessing
Whether you’re buying in store or from any physical stockists, there’s no better way to keep your chocolates cool during transit than with a freezer bag. These handy little devices are a great way to make sure that your treats don’t melt – up to a point at least. The walls of these bags are made from a high-yield and heat-resistant material that can help to keep internal temperatures low. Most can maintain low temperatures for between 30 minutes and a couple of hours, so wherever you’re travelling to you should be able to minimise the risk of your chocolates melting in the heat.
Buying Online Can Save Plenty of Trouble
If you can’t stand the idea of risking a bag of melted chocolate, or if ordering close to Christmas is still stressing you out, then finding a reliable gift hamper making company could help you no-end. These businesses specialise in creating some of the most stylish chocolate treats that you could possibly imagine. Not only will you have a great selection of goodies to choose from; you won’t have to worry about the delivery either. Most of these companies work directly with shipping agencies and that’s how they can all but guarantee to get your order with your loved one on time – whilst minimising the risk of melting.
There are a few foods that play a major role in the atmosphere of the festive season. Chicken (or turkey). Stuffing. Even Brussels sprouts can play a part in your families’ celebrations. But chocolate just so happens to be a component that most parties will want to enjoy, so making sure that you have a steady supply of it can make all the difference to your experience. Now that you know three ways to ensure that your chocolate treats get to where they need to be without concern, the only thing that’s left to do is to buy a selection!
