This 'Huge Valentines Sweet & Chocolate Box' was provided by the Sweet Hamper Company.
Over the weekend this hamper filled with sweets and chocolates arrived, and I was surprised to find out just how many sweets could fit into a box which is similar in size to a realm of paper. Spoiler - it’s a lot!
As I undid the layers, I was struck by the level of detail and it was a real treat to discover what was inside. The red and white striped paper bags added an element of retro sweet shops, as well as tying into the Valentines theme well. The additions of a red foil covered chocolate rose and a large heart shaped lolly were clear Valentines additions.
It’s been a long while though since I’ve had many of these sweets, and there were some that were new to me too. But juicy red lips, the pink hearts and jelly love hearts (think jelly beans) remained favourites.
As the theme for this hamper is Valentines I thought I’d enter the spirit and share some Valentine inspired photos, along with a vintage cake stand and side plate. Now wouldn’t it be a real treat to have something like this as part of a Valentines spread?
There was more than the Valentines themed treats, in fact so much more in the hamper which costs £36.50. In total there’s 38 sweets and chocolates included in the hamper. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a candy necklace I can tell you! But there are more favourites such as the Refreshers and the Curly Wurly. I might have already mentioned that those might not be for sharing.
This is clearly a lot of sugar, and it’s meant as a treat rather than an everyday purchase. It’s good to treat ourselves now and again, and this hamper will keep us stocked for a fair while yet. I’m sure we’ll enjoy trying those that are new to us, and reminiscing over those we know already.
