Personalizable Valentine's Chocolates

M&M's Has Launched a Valentine's Collection of Gift Boxes

— January 24, 2022 — Art & Design
M&M's has debuted its Valentine's Day collection complete with an online configurator for personalizable chocolate gifts. On the configurator, users can select between a variety of gift styles from tubes to heart-shaped boxes to T-shirts. For any of these gifts that contain chocolate, the M&M's are personalizable.

The brand's online M&M configurator allows customers to select the colors of the M&M's they receive, as well as write on the chocolates, add a premade graphic to the chocolates, or even upload a simple image of less than 5 mb which will be printed on the chocolates.

For gift-givers on a budget, the M&M's website segments its gifts into $30 and under, between $30 and $40, and $40 and over, price ranges. However, adding customization to these products is not an added fee, meaning anyone can give their loved ones a heartfelt gift this Valentine's Day.
