A word of care on this occasion above others. Questions about ingredients and dietary suitability come up often around new families, so point people to the published product information rather than offering assurances yourself. It is the honest and accurate way to handle it, and it matters more here than most places.
Choose a Lily O'Brien's chocolate made with care, present it simply, order in good time, and your favours will do exactly what they should. They will say thank you, look the part on the table, and quietly make it home in a handful of pockets.
The case for a mixed collection is simple. It sidesteps the guesswork of a single flavour, it gives him range to work through rather than a box finished in one sitting, and it reads as generous without needing an excuse. Birthdays, a new job, Father's Day, a thank you, or no occasion at all: a large box covers the lot, which makes it the reliable default when you are not sure what else to choose.
Anniversaries come in a range of sizes, and a gift that fits a first year rarely fits a fortieth. Chocolate scales neatly across all of them, provided you match the collection and its personalisation to the milestone you are actually marking.
Give yourself time. Personalised print adds a step to the order, so build in a buffer rather than ordering the night before you need it, and allow longer in the busy run-up to Christmas.
Get the count right with a sensible buffer, place each favour consistently, and order well ahead of the day. The etiquette looks after itself once the logistics do.
