Aiming to tell a story with its products, Chocolate NAIVE's [chocolate gift box](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourmet-chocolate-advent-calendars) is presented like a storybook. The white gift box opens up like a novel, containing eight [colorful chocolate bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-in-california-bar). As Chocolate NAIVE describes it, each bar is like a different chapter in the book, "Taking you through the mountains of Peru, confessing first love, recollecting childhood memories, gazing at bees." With chocolate bar flavors like [java milk chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beyond-good-microbatch-collection) from Papua New Guinea and dark chocolate from Trinidad and Tobago, tasting these chocolates is like being able to go on a voyage around the world.

As well as being available in a large encyclopedia-inspired kit, Chocolate NAIVE also sells a smaller version that's like a miniature library of sweet chocolate treats.
