# Vegan Chocolate Assortment Tins Catherine's Originals Vegan Chocolate Selection Tin is a UK-First By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2024-07-24 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-chocolate-selection-tin References: [vegconomist](https://vegconomist.com/food-and-beverage/sweets-snacks/catherines-originals-launches-uks-first-vegan-chocolate-selection-tin/) & [catherinesoriginals](https://catherinesoriginals.com/)  The Catherine's Originals vegan chocolate selection tin has been launched by the brand as a first for the UK market to provide consumers with a new take on a classic treat. The product features a total of 81 chocolates in nine flavors inside, which are each characterized by their vegan-friendly recipes that are the perfect replacement for dairy-based options on the market. The filled treats are crafted by hand before being coated in chocolate and wrapped in vibrantly colored foils, and are all gluten-free, RSPO-certified and made with Fair [Trade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caf-del-mar-spirits) cocoa. The chocolates come in a reusable tin or a cardboard box priced at £30 and £13.50, respectively. Founder Catherine Dodd spoke on the Catherine's Originals vegan chocolate selection tin saying, "It’s been quite a journey but I’m delighted to see my vision come to life and know that thousands of people will be able to enjoy a tin of Catherine’s Originals this Christmas. A box is great for all year round but a tin is a festive essential.” Image Credit: Catherine's Originals ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 26% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Vegan Confectionery:** Offering a cruelty-free alternative to traditional dairy-based chocolates, these vegan confections cater to the growing demand for plant-based sweets. - **Reusable Packaging:** Innovative packaging that can be reused highlights the trend towards sustainability and eco-conscious consumer choices. - **Ethically Sourced Ingredients:** Products made with Fair Trade cocoa and RSPO-certified ingredients appeal to consumers prioritizing ethical sourcing and environmentally sustainable practices. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** The rise in vegan options within the confectionery market disrupts traditional dairy-centric products, providing new potential for category growth. - **Sustainable Packaging:** Eco-friendly packaging solutions like reusable tins signify a significant shift in the packaging industry towards reducing single-use waste. - **Ethical Consumer Goods:** The focus on ethically sourced and cruelty-free products is transforming the ethical consumer goods industry by emphasizing transparency and sustainability. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vegan Valentine's Day Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viva-las-vegan-chocolate-truffles.md) - [Artisanal Vegan Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lderach-vegan-chocolate.md) - [Vegan-Friendly Holiday Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moo-free-christmas-range.md) - [Plant-Powered Almond Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/almond-chocolate.md) - [Luxurious Vegan Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-vegan-chocolates.md) - [Limited-Edition Festive Vegan Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lindt-hello-soft-creamy-hazelnut.md) - [Vegan-Friendly Belgian Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/belgian-milk-chocolate.md) - [Cocoa-Free Chocolate Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treets-piasten.md) - [Vegan Holiday Candy Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomo-sharing-box.md)
