How To Choose The Perfect Sweet Box For Your Loved Ones

There’s no better gift to show your special ones that you care than a sweet box. These super tasty gifts are ideal for partners, parents, or friends, but with so many different types on the market, how do you choose the best-suited one for your giftee?

The confectionary connoisseurs at Hamper and Gift are on hand to offer their guidance and have produced a handy guide on picking the perfect sweet boxes for your loved ones. 

Firstly, does your loved one have a favourite type of sweet?

As obvious as it may sound, the sweet box your gift will enjoy the most will be filled with their favourite sweet treats. From sour and tangy goodies to flavoursome pick ‘n’ mix, there are plenty of boxes to choose from including:

Liquorice gifts

Liquorice is one of those foods that people either love or detest – but if the person you’re shopping for simply can’t resist it, a liquorice sweets basket is perfect.

With a liquorice sweet box, your giftee can indulge in traditional liquorice allsorts, Pontefract cakes and liquorice sticks – a wonderful selection for any liquorice lover!

If you’re buying for a colleague and aren’t sure what sweets they enjoy, we don’t recommend liquorice due to its acquired taste.

Pick ‘n’ mix sweet boxes

If your special one enjoys a mix of scrumptious sweets to tuck into, you can’t go wrong with a pick ‘n’ mix option. 

Ideal for giftees of all ages due to their variety, these wonderful boxes are packed generously with goodies such as colourful jelly beans, cola bottles, giant strawberries, and sour dummies.

Sweet shop sweets

Rewind the clock with classic sweetshop nostalgia – retro sweet packages are filled with traditional treats, perfect for grandparents celebrating a milestone birthday. 

Your giftee will open their special gift to find luscious white mice, rhubarb & custards, bonbons, boiled sweets, and flavoursome pear drops.

Retro favourites

Enjoyed by all generations alike, retro sweet boxes contain an assortment of the most recognised goodies to ever exist. 

From Double Dips and Flumps to Wham bars and Rainbow drops, your special one is bound to thoroughly enjoy these timeless treats.

Is your giftee on a specialised diet? 

If your giftee is vegan, vegetarian, gluten intolerant, diabetic or has allergies, they’ll need a sweet gift box that caters to their diet. If not, they won’t be able to enjoy the gift and may even be upset you didn’t consider their requirements. 

Specialised gift baskets are filled with delicious goodies made from ingredients that won’t harm any unique diet.

So, to ensure you buy a present you know they’ll love and don’t waste your money, search for sweet boxes that are tailored to their dietary needs.

Are you buying on a budget?

Finally, acknowledge the money you have to spend on your gift. Some sweet boxes cost more than others, depending on where you buy them from and how much confectionary is included. 

But whether you’re shopping on a large or small budget, you’re sure to find a wonderful gift to please any sweet tooth.

And who knows, they may even share with you!
