Chocolate is the easiest gift there is, until you’re standing in front of a wall of identical gold boxes. This year, give something with a story: chocolate made from scratch, from the cacao bean, in our workshop on Granville Island in Vancouver, and shipped anywhere in Canada.
Here are our picks for everyone on your list. (Prices are current as of writing.)
Holiday shipping: order by December 14 to guarantee delivery before Christmas.
For the whisky (or rum, or gin) lover: the Barrel-Aged Bundle, $64
Our most giftable trio. We age roasted cacao in oak casks with local and Philippine spirits, then stone-grind it into chocolate. The bundle includes one of each, and saves $5 over buying them separately:
- Single Malt: Ecuadorian Costa Esmeraldas cacao aged with Odd Society Distillery’s Commodore single malt whisky. Oak and whisky notes. Silver, 2026 Canadian Chocolate Awards.
- Wallflower Gin: Ugandan Kisinga cacao aged with Odd Society’s Wallflower Gin and ground with juniper. Floral and botanical.
- Tanduay Rum: Philippine cacao from Davao aged with Tanduay Gold rum. Coconut, caramel cream and spice.
For the fruit lover (and your vegan friends): the Berry Bundle, $42
One each of our three vegan white chocolates, made with organic cacao butter, organic unrefined cane sugar and dried BC berries. They contain no dairy and are made with gluten-free ingredients:
- Strawberry White: Gold and Best in Competition among flavoured bars at the 2024 World Final, and Gold and Best in Category at the 2026 Canadian competition.
- Raspberry White: a medal winner every year since 2019.
- Blackberry White: Silver at the 2025 World Final.
The bundle saves $3. Short on budget? A single Strawberry White ($15) is our most decorated bar.
For the adventurous eater: Durian White, $21
The bar people talk about. Creamy, caramelly white chocolate stone-ground with real durian: tropical, custardy and gloriously fragrant. Durian lovers will be thrilled; everyone else will have a story to tell. Want to know more first? Read Durian Chocolate: What It Tastes Like.
For a taste of the Philippines
Kasama started with cacao from family land in the Philippines (here’s that story). These bars make a thoughtful gift for Filipino-Canadian friends and family, or for anyone who loves discovering new flavours:
- 70% Echague, $21: a limited release from rare cacao grown and fermented in Echague, in the Cagayan Valley of northern Luzon. Silver, 2024 Americas competition.
- 70% Tableya Rough Ground, $15: a rustic, rough-ground bar inspired by traditional Philippine tableya, made with single-estate cacao from Kablon Farms in South Cotabato.
- Muscovado, $16: neither dark nor white, a “tanned” chocolate made with Philippine muscovado sugar.
Stocking stuffers under $15
- Drinking chocolate, $12 each: 60 g makes two rich servings. Choose Tupi 70% (Philippine cacao, notes of oak and fudge), Chai Spice (Ecuadorian cacao stone-ground with cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, clove, pepper and turmeric) or Kapé Moka (made with coffee roasted by our friends at Kapé Coffee).
- Earl Grey Tea, $12: an award-winning dark milk bar made with Philippine cacao and Earl Grey from the Granville Island Tea Company. Floral, with bergamot.
- Goat’s Milk, $12: a smooth dark milk chocolate made with Davao cacao and goat’s milk from Happy Days Dairy in BC’s Shuswap.
For someone in (or visiting) Vancouver: the gift of a Chocolate Tour & Tasting
Give an experience instead of a thing. Our guided tour and tasting takes place inside the Granville Island workshop where every bar is made. It’s 40–50 minutes of smelling raw and roasted cacao, learning how beans become bars, sipping drinking chocolate and tasting award-winning chocolate, in a small group of up to 10.
We pause tours and tastings from October to December during our peak production season, so there are two easy ways to give one this year: a Kasama gift card (a tour and tasting is $45), or email us at hello@kasamachocolate.com and we’ll help you arrange a tour in the new year.
When you’re not sure: a Kasama gift card, $25–$250
Let them choose: single-origin dark bars, berry white chocolates, barrel-aged specials, drinking chocolate, or a tour and tasting in the new year. Choose $25, $50, $75, $100, $150 or $250.

Why give Kasama chocolate?
Every bar is made from the bean by a small team on Granville Island, and our chocolate has won more than 100 International Chocolate Awards medals (see them all). Curious what “bean-to-bar” really means? We explain it in Bean-to-Bar Chocolate in Vancouver.
Happy holidays, and happy gifting, from all of us at Kasama.
