The Boîte à Bijoux: A Sweet Hiding Place for the Perfect “Yes”

Some gifts are delicious.
Some gifts are unforgettable.
And then there’s the Boîte à Bijoux—a handcrafted chocolate heart designed not just to be savoured, but to hold a secret.

Each piece is crafted with care, offering layers of flavour, texture, and indulgence. The entire creation is nestled inside a beautiful presentation box… and all that’s missing is your ring. It’s the sweetest way to ask the biggest question.

Whether you’re planning a surprise proposal or simply gifting something extraordinary, the Boîte à Bijoux turns a moment into a memory.

A Valentine’s Day Macaron Collection Made to Make Hearts Melt

Valentine’s Day deserves something a little extraordinary, and this year Florian has created a selection that celebrates romance in every bite. Famous for his mastery of the macaron, he has crafted two new flavours especially for the season of love:

  • Ginger – warm, bright, and gently spicy, a flavour that lingers like a whispered secret
  • Rose & Raspberry  – delicate and floral, the taste of a bouquet captured in a single bite married to a vibrant, fruity fresh Raspberry compote

Whether you’re celebrating grand gestures or quiet moments, this Valentine’s macaron box is designed to please everyone.

For Chocolate Lovers… This One’s For You

If your love language is chocolate, our Valentine’s box might just be your soulmate. 
At the heart of the box are our heart‑shaped tangy Yuzu ganache Bonbons. This Japanese citrus brings a burst of freshness that cuts beautifully through the richness of the chocolate, creating a flavour that’s both surprising and addictive.
Alongside them, you’ll find our chocolate‑hazelnut praline “rocher”, a crunchy, nutty, utterly irresistible bite that feels like a warm hug for the senses. And to complete the trio, a dark chocolate truffle—smooth, intense, and timeless. 

Together, they form a box that is, quite simply, delightful.

And Finally… A Little Something to Make You Blush

Before you go, meet the cheekiest member of our Valentine’s collection: the Chocolate Emoji.
Yes—an emoji in chocolate. And yes—it’s blushing too 😍
Behind that adorable face hides a fluffy surprise: our handmade Raspberry Marshmallow, soft, fruity, and utterly irresistible. It’s the kind of treat that makes people laugh first… and fall in love after the first bite.

We hope all these sweet Valentine’s creations have given you the irresistible urge to come and visit our shop.
See you soon for a taste of love, crafted in York.

Bisous Bisous our emoji full of love
