The music, the hair, the neon – the 80s are back, and retro sweets are coming back in a big way too, with many people looking with fondness on the treats available in their youths or who want to introduce today’s children to yesterday’s amazing and delicious sweeties. A particularly popular idea is to choose retro sweets as a unique birthday gift. The recipient will certainly appreciate something delicious instead of more socks!
There are countless retro sweets available, but the best way to get a great selection is to buy one of our retro sweet hampers. These each contain a wide array of carefully selected sweets that will ensure there is plenty for anyone to dig into. Whether they enjoy fruit-salads, love dib-dabs, or wish they had some flying saucers, there are an abundance of options to satisfy any sweet tooth.
With so many different retro sweet hampers on offer it can be tricky to make the choice, so here is a quick guide to some of the top choices that always create big smiles on birthdays, whether it’s your mum or grandad, a sibling, an old friend, or even someone from the younger generations who needs to learn what real sweets were all about!
The Classic Retro Sweet Hamper is so named for a good reason. It’s got a broad mix of treats with plenty for everyone, including such retro classics as cola bottles, double dip sherbets, and the all-important gob stopper. No matter what they like, the person getting this hamper is certain to find plenty in here they’ll appreciate.
Our Fizzy Favourites Retro Sweet Hamper is packed with exactly what it says; those fizzy sweets that always put a bit of a tang on your tongue. There are fizzy sour dummies and fizzy cola bottles, and fizzing popping candies, to name just a few. With plenty of different fizzy sweeties to enjoy, this is a hamper that will definitely put some pop into any birthday!
If you want to go even further back in time and get something that grandma and granda might particularly love, the Traditional Sweets Hamper is the place to look. These sweeties are the real classics, the sort that Just William and the Outlaws craved, such as aniseed twists, mint humbugs, and the Doctor’s favorite, jelly babies. This hamper will go further than sating a sweet tooth, it will evoke some of the classics of Britain’s culture of the past century, so here’s to birthdays past and many more to come!
Let’s take a look at one final hamper. This hamper is not like the others – it is not a reasonable one. It does not contain a quantity of sweets that can be called sensible.
It is a titanic bacchanal of sweets, a treasure of treats that seems more fit for the tomb of a Pharaoh than a modern delight. The World’s Biggest Sweet Hamper is, as far as we can tell, just that. With over 60 different types of sweets, weighing in at over 25 kilos, and so big and heavy that it has to be delivered on a pallet! Anyone who gets this as a birthday gift will never forget it, and probably still have sweets left the next time their birthday rolls around!
