Nestlé Kitkat Selection Box - 234g

The selection box is a fixture of a British Christmas. Every child gets at least one, usually from a grandparent, and it is the one present everyone agrees can be opened before the turkey goes in. A KitKat box has always had a fair claim to the top of the pile.

For anyone spending Christmas in Canada with family back in Britain, it is one of those small things that makes the morning feel right. Plenty of people buy one for their kids so they get the same Christmas morning their parents had, and plenty quietly buy one for themselves.

The box is 234g, flat and sturdy, so it wraps easily, slides under the tree and stands up in a stocking without a fight. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, away from the radiator, and well away from anyone who claims they are only having one.

Nestlé is also behind other British sweet-shop names like Aero, Smarties and Yorkie, and a KitKat box sits nicely beside a tin for after dinner and a few stocking fillers for the kids.
