Aigner Chocolates—one of New York City’s oldest and finest confectionery shops—is the perfect place for creating bespoke gifts that leave a lasting impression. Its artisanal Austrian chocolates are one of a kind and complement every occasion.
Owned by the Aigner family for three generations, the chocolate-making tradition was passed down to the current owners, Mark Libertini and Rachel Kellner, in 2015. The duo has preserved a rich heritage of over nine decades by retaining the original recipes and equipment. Putting their spin on the company’s vision, they introduced custom chocolates with intricate, hand-painted designs for a more personalized experience.
“We pride ourselves on our concierge service.” says Kellner. “We curate impressive gifts depending on what the client is looking for and always hope to exceed their expectations.”
Gifting carefully curated chocolate boxes is an ideal way to reinforce brand identity. Aigner Chocolates develops custom molds featuring company logos, colors and thematic elements and offers a range of gifting options for various occasions.
Key to its success is the personalized support provided throughout the process. Customers can find a comprehensive corporate gifting guide on its website, helping them select the most appropriate gifting option. They can also visit its shop or ask for shipped samples, allowing them to evaluate the quality of the products before purchasing.
Orders are placed via an online form. Aigner Chocolates carefully reviews the orders and sends out a detailed quote. Customers can pick up the order from the shop or have it shipped to their doorstep. Once the delivery is complete, it follows up to ensure satisfaction and gathers their feedback. Each order is carefully managed and includes regular updates and images throughout the process—during chocolate production, upon completion and a final preview before delivery.
Corporate gifting during the holidays is a tradition, but other occasions are often overlooked. For instance, sending chocolates for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Secretary’s Day or as a reward for completing a project ahead of schedule can be meaningful gestures. Aigner Chocolates offers specially curated collections at reasonable prices, ideal for celebrating special moments.

Its extensive product range includes seasonal bestsellers and yearround collection boxes that offer beautifully curated assortments. Collections for birthdays and anniversaries include out-of-the-box options like superhero-themed chocolates.
Aigner Chocolates’ non-pareil chocolates are another mass favorite. Each one of these chocolate confections features a bite-size disc of rich chocolate topped with mini sprinkles. These delectable little morsels can be customized in over 200 corporate colors. Its chocolate-of-the-month subscription is also an ideal gifting option, offered in three-, six- and nine-month terms.
“We make corporate gifting easy and represent our clients and their companies in the best possible light,” says Libertini.
Quick turnaround time is an Aigner Chocolates hallmark. In one instance, a premier resort destination approached it with a lastminute, 1,000-piece order during the holiday season to acknowledge their staff’s hard work. Despite the high demand period, the company fulfilled the order within two weeks.
Aigner Chocolates’ undying love for experimenting in the kitchen and curating the best chocolate experiences for clients has made gifting effortless, building relationships that transcend transactions.
