Raising the Bar with Old School Bon Bons :: Retro Sweet Hamper

30 March 2009

Whoever decided that sweets were for kids?! We've all munched our way through those bonbons, enjoyed the heady scent of those Parma violets, and sucked away those tangy sherbet lemons. We've chewed through the twists and turns on our curly wurlys, nibbled the jewels off our candy necklaces and let those gobstoppers melt in our mouths until we can nibble on the tiny aniseed at the end. We've played with those sugar mice till our brother bit their heads off; we've sneakily chewed away on those black jacks and fruit salads in class. Yes, how all the fun of childhood floods back when we remember all those yummy sweet treats that saw us through the good times and the bad!

Most of us have memories of a particular sweet shop from childhood which was the source of all those retro classics. Maybe you called in there on your way home from school, or when you played with your friends at weekends. If so you'll remember all those colourful jars that lined the shelves and the familiar tinny echo of the sweeties as they were poured into those weighing scales. Perhaps you were lucky enough to also have a well stocked tuck shop at school, filled to the brim with all the goodies your teachers wouldn't let you eat in class. But now we're older and times have moved on, we no longer come across those well loved sweeties, and those traditional sweet shops are especially hard to come by. Well, all is not lost. Now's the time to revive those relics from the sugary past with a Retro sweet hamper!

Retro Sweet Hamper - The Perfect Piece Of Nostalgia!

For anyone that misses the good old days of confectionery past, the Retro sweet hamper is that perfect gift solution. Filled to the brim with all the goodies you thought you'd never see again, the retro sweet hamper appeals to young and old alike. Whether it be your mum, your auntie, your best friend or your teacher, this is a gorgeous gift for anyone in their 30s or 40s seeking a touch of nostalgia. And those that are too young to remember them will certainly have a few treats in store when they tuck into the traditional candies for the first time. The retro sweet hamper is a sugary treasure trove of sticky fun containing drumstick lollipops, sherbet dip dabs, Vimto lollies, flying saucers, liquorice torpedoes and loads more. All the goodies are beautifully presented in a large, sturdy wicker basket. When you've finished all those goodies, the basket can be used again and again for picnics or even as an overnight case. For originality, the retro sweet hamper certainly raises the bar over that bog standard box of chocolates.

Retro Sweet Hamper for Parties

When young children get together to celebrate, it's an occasion they'll never forget; one that will stay with them way into adulthood. All those fun times, games to play, party hats to wear and yummy treats to devour! So if you have young children and you love to organise parties, the retro sweet hamper is just what you need as an irresistible centerpiece! Not only will the kids be intrigued by the lovely range of retro candies, another great thing about having a retro sweet hamper at your childrens' party is that it teaches the kids to share. You can place it on the party table for them to delve in and help themselves, or alternatively you can use the yummy sweeties as prizes in your party games. Imagine their delight as they go home at the end of the day with a bagful of popping candy or a pretty pastel candy necklace!

Humouring Your Inner Child

Of course there are those that would say that this is a gift for children. As we grow up we're conditioned to move away from those childhood treats that we enjoyed so much, and move more towards adult treats. So we trade in those gummy bears for low-fat crisps, and swap the jelly tots for dark chocolate after dinner mints. Those of us who have to watch our weight even turn away from treats altogether and munch on carrots instead. Where did we leave our sense of fun? There's no reason why grown-ups can't enjoy the delights of a retro sweet hamper. Those goodies are sweet and fruity, crunchy and chewy, and there are so many of them, they'll see us through a good many indulgent evenings. The Retro sweet hamper is made for indulgence, made to share. Go on, give them an extra special sweet and yummy treat, a real blast from the past to tingle their taste buds and humour their inner child.
