Relive Old Memories With Retro Sweets

Relive nostalgic memories, satisfy a sweet tooth and take a trip down memory lane with our fantastic range of retro sweets. Tuck into childhood favourites or try something new – there is something for everyone to enjoy…

One of the oldest and most iconic types of retro sweets is Boiled Sweets. Sometimes, simple is best! Their creation dates back as far as the 19th century and they are traditionally made using copper pans and a whole range of different shaped moulds. Our most popular hard boiled sweets include fizzy and fruity Lemon Sherbets and old-school favourite Cola Cubes. But if these don’t take your fancy, then do not fear! We have everything from brightly coloured Pineapple Rock to classic Clove Balls to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Or with the festive season fast approaching, why not get into the Christmas spirit with Christmas Retro Sweets? Why not treat someone (or yourself!) to a Christmas Personalised Sweet Jar? Complete with a Santa printed personal label with your own message on, this special jar contains everything from Candy Canes to Milk Chews to keep everyone going while the turkey’s in the oven or to ease the tension during the Christmas family board games! Other retro sweets perfect for Christmas time include Candy Canes, Milk Chocolate Snowmen and Chocolate Coins, to name just a few. Place a few at the bottom of a stocking, sprinkle a few on the dinner table or hang on the tree to add a sweet touch to your home this Christmas - can you resist munching on them before the day!?

Retro Sweets also go down especially well at weddings and are sure to leave your guests reminiscing over fond memories and happy times after the big day. Why not treat your friends and relatives with a Retro Cube sweet wedding favour containing many of your retro favourites in a cute little Perspex cube. Celebrate your big day and spread the love with Mini Lovehearts, top up your energy levels on the dance floor with some Parma Violets and let your guests have some fun turning their tongues black with chewy Black Jacks (just be sure to do this after the photographs!) We also have themed jars and sweet bars containing fun themed retro sweets to add to any event and to put a smile on people’s faces. For example, why not celebrate all things British at your wedding with a British Jar filled with everything from Union Jack Rock to classic Mini Haribo Mix? Or treat your bridesmaids and best man with Girls and Boys Sweet Jars to show your appreciation and give as a small token of thanks on the big day.

Along with retro sweets, we also have a brilliant range of retro toys to enjoy. Perfect for both children and adults alike, old fashioned fun simply never gets old! Flying Gliders are one of our personal favourites – take on your friends in a flying competition or battle it out to build yours the fastest. We even have Fairy Gliders for a more elegant take on this classic toy! Another favourite is Fortune Teller Fish – what does the future hold for you? Now you yourself can learn the ways of this ancient art and use it on all your friends.

All of our retro sweets are categorised into the decades they were popular. The 90s was the time of many great retro sweets. From Fizzy Apple Rings to Chocolate Bon Bons, there is something for everyone to enjoy. The 90s was the time when cola flavoured sweets really took off – Cola Pips, Cola Whips and even deliciously fizzy Cola Cubes – you simply can’t go wrong with these classic treats. Why not treat yourself or someone you know to some truly scrumptious Giant Fizzy Cola Bottles this Christmas? Big, juicy and bursting with delicious fizzy sugariness, they are full to the brim of cola flavour and are sure to put a big smile on someone’s face. Another firm favourite is Cola Popping Candy – fizz, bang and pop your way to a good time with this oh so delicious delight.

Retro Sweets are also perfect for businesses and brands. Take your clients and customers on a trip down memory lane with branded and corporate retro sweets that are sure to leave a great lasting impression in their minds. From small giveaway promotional sweets such as Branded Boiled Sweets and Sweet Pyramids, to larger business gifts and staff incentives including Branded Sweet Tins and Party Bags, there is no better personal way to engage with your clients and to go the extra mile to impress.
