There once was a time when 20p would buy you a lifetime of sweets, or so it seemed. Times have changed of course, and so have sweets. Many of them now appear to be the size of small buildings, and where have all the classics gone? Well they're here, in this delightfully retro wicker hamper which is packed with such classics as Sherbet Fountains, Fruit Salads, Dib Dabs, Dolly Mixtures, Black Jacks, Flying Saucers and all manner of Dickensian confectionery. It even has Sugar Mice, though what that was all about is a little puzzling, if we wanted to eat mice we'd be cats. Or is it the other way round? Anyhow, this sugary blast from the past is nostalgia in a hamper - who said nostalgia was a thing of the past?

I bought the retro sweet hamper for a friend and I couldn't believe how quick it came! I ordered it Monday night by Wednesday morning we was tucking in! Pure nostalgia!

Love it!! Got this for my boyfriend (he has a sweet tooth) but now I think I might keep it for myself and get him something else... I'm not being greedy its just irresistable!!

I have to say the delivery time was brilliant - order on Monday and got Wednesday - took the option of having it gift wrapped - and the results are great - Great Valentines Gift for my husband I might be able to sneak some myself!!!

I brought my boyfriend the box of chocolate cups for his birthday a few months ago, (i had never seen such great idea before!) and we opened them with a few friends, and my gosh- they are delicious! We filled the choc cups up with Kahlua, Baileys and Black vodka!!They all went within half an hour! I was worried about them melting or getting damaged in the post - but they came so well packed (hand packed-'with love') that they could have been dropped from a plane and still wouldnt have got damaged!The package arrived so quickly too! I would definately reccomend them them to anyone who likes to experiment with thier drinks, and impress some friends! They made the night very unique and fun!

I bought this for my significant other and he loves it. I did think it was a bit smaller than I originally presumed, but that doesn't stop it being jam packed with sweets, there are quite literally tons of goodies in there. It?s a great buy and I would definitely buy it again. Also the hamper comes in useful for picnics and stuff :D

Bought this as a wedding gift for a couple who had lived together forever and asked for B&Q vouchers as wedding gifts! That certainly wasn't gonna happen so I bought this as I knew that they would love it! Apparently, they look the happiest of 5 year olds every time they go near it!
Quoted as the best gift ever... I'd definitely get it again!
Yvonne, London
I real blast from the past,

Bev, Warrington
Spectacular in every way...from the range of sweets to the elegant hamper?the look of pure love in my girlfriends? eyes when she opened it said it all! It really should emit a bright light and a heavenly tone when the lids opened!
