You can now become an official member of the Most Marvellous Tribe of Celestiner Chokliteers!

It is now starting its 10th year and seems to have blossomed into something more than just a badge. Not only do you gain early access to new Collections, we have a secret group on facebook and I do a live video chat every Sunday morning. People support each other, send courage and love, send presents and chat and friendships have been made. Tribe members have met up in real life at events and then made proper friendships that have continued. Some even go on holiday together! I am humbled by the kindness support, love and of course just plain giggly silliness that has blossomed. We sometimes have gatherings too around book launches, or events or just a meet up for tea or such depending on where you live or you can chat in the group online, or just enjoy your early access to collections, free shipping and not join in at all. Completely up to you.

We have an annual gathering at somewhere like Compton Verney and other members host get togethers for local Chokliteers. This is all organised in the facebook group, as the one place we can all communicate with each other easily, so it is worth joining the group if a member.

So, yes, get a badge and some choklit and a pledge and maybe a little creature on your birthday or free shipping, but also really become part of a Tribe. One who genuinely cares about you. You can join the group or not. Chat or not... all are welcome.

Membership runs yearly. First year is bought and paid for up front.

After your first year, you will be invited to move to a subscription system with options to pay a monthly subscription, spreading the cost over the year, or change tier as you wish. You can cancel the subscriptions at any time or change tiers each year. There are some wider gift choices of animals etc.

The memberships are only offered for a month each year so we all renew at the same time. The tea bag option stays open all year for anyone wanting to join mid year and the price is reduced a little later in the year.

If you don’t wish to renew after the first year, you will be removed from the groups after your year is up.

There is a secret page on my website for members which has early access to Collections and some exclusive products and offers and a private facebook group.

You'll get an invite and the password for it when you take out membership.

Each level (apart from Tea Bag) will have the basic pack with a folder, badge, membership card complete with pledge, access to the members page and for higher levels you can choose a gift and free shipping. See the options.

All memberships can be sent to other people as a gift- just add a note with the name for the card and delivery address - Great birthday present!

Click on the products to see what you get for your level and choose, in some cases you have to click on the buy button to see the list of gift choices but it doesn’t add to cart till you have chosen your choices.

We have a lovely new choklit supplier . Handmade organic, ethical, fairtrade and the dark choklit is all vegan too. Hurrah for Cocoa Loco
