Postcrossing Blog

So we told you about those cool postcups and about the world’s tiniest and cutest telegrams in this blog. We’re sure you guys are still hungry for more cool and unique ways to send telegrams to your loved ones, relatives, friends, and of course, your Postcrossing buddies!

Well, here’s another lovely and rare telegram mode that you can use to “wow” your receivers and “mmm” them at the same time.

Introducing… the delicious Chocotelegrams!

Yes, they’re basically telegrams that are made from delicious, high-quality milk chocolates! Imagine your letter recipients opening a cute wooden case and seeing blocks of delicious Belgian chocolates speak for you. This is just so sweet! Literally.

The most popular company that both produces and sends these chocomails is United Kingdom’s Choco Mail UK, Ltd. Their service is very easy to use. All you have to do is click on their telegram-making interface and write a message that you would like to be inscribed on your chocotelegram.

Your message must be 7 to 60 letters long, which can include various symbols such as smiley faces, clover leaves, stars, Christmas trees, hearts, deer, and even a menorah.

You can also choose the type of chocotelegram package you’d like them to use. You can send your chocomails in brightly colored cardboard boxes, regular wooden cases, and luxurious wooden boxes.

Another website that offers this service is the Netherlands’ Tasty Present. The chocotelegram customizing steps at Tasty Present’s website are basically the same with the ones at Choco Mail. The only difference between the two is that Tasty Present offers a few more chocolate arrangements in addition to Choco Mail’s traditional rectangular arrangement. At Tasty Present, you can ask them to arrange the chocolate tiles into a heart-shaped or letter-shape chocotelegram.

You can ask the company to either directly send your chocomails to your intended recipient or send them to you. This is a really great telegram idea for Mother’s Day, graduations, Valentine’s Day, thank-you letters, and anniversaries, etc.

Oh, and it’s not just the United Kingdom and the Netherlands that have this service. Portugal has it too and even if you are not in one of these countries, look around, it might very well be that there’s one for your country too!

Oh yeah, Easter is coming up so why don’t you do something different this time and instead of sending Easter egg chocolates or marshmallow chicks, use a Chocotelegram to both express your Easter greetings and fill your recipient’s tummy with choco goodness!
