Retro sweets hamper Father’s Day

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!

What? I’m excited! We get some very cool stuff to review, but I’ve never had a retro sweets hamper before. I’ve been told many times to calm down, but seriously, with names like Best Ever Retro Sweets MEGA Box + Marshmallows (!!! Hello!) it’s going to take me until at least November to quell the excitement enough to start thinking about Christmas.

"retro sweets hamper fathers day gift"

I’m afraid I actually became speechless as I gazed at the contents of the Marshmallow hamper. It has 44 different retro sweets, including:

  • Black Jacks Chews
  • Fruit Salad Chews
  • Refreshers Original Chews
  • Anglo Bubbly
  • Chocolate Footballs
  • Love Heart Mini Rolls
  • Parma Violets
  • Fizzers Original
  • Chocolate Coins
  • Mr Tabs
  • Mini Me Chews
  • Fruit BonBons

The list goes on, and on – and on a bit more – until finally it mentions the marshmallows. Like, seriously OMG!

Choose your own retro sweets hamper

You don’t have to have marshmallows though. I know that my Dad would like the Chocolate Bars version, my Mum would disappear upstairs for a week with the Liquorice version, and the Bug would choose the Chewy Bars. I’m a bit tempted by the Popping Candy, but Mummy says she’d like me to choose the Gobstoppers. I can’t think what she means by that…

With candy lipsticks, Fizz Whizz, and chewy mushrooms (only Mummy is old enough to remember those), and a load more that would take me over my wordcount limit, I think this is quite possibly the best review we will ever do!

  3. It would have to be the sherbet because the kids don’t like it (they probably aren’t mine, I’m sure there was a mix up at the hospital) so it means Daddy would actually get a chance to eat some!
