What were your favourite sweets as a child?
For me, there was nothing better than taking my pennies to the local sweet shop and choosing a variety of one and two penny sweets. From Flying Saucers to Mojos, Fruit Salads to Black Jacks. I also loved the chewy bars and the Wham Bar was my favourite!!
Retro Sweets make a great, thoughtful Christmas present and can instantly whisk you back to your childhood and you can get them all at Keep It Sweet.
Keep it Sweet was set up by an ex-colleague of mine and my children demand sweets from here every Christmas. In fact, Santa makes sure their stockings are filled with Keep It Sweet goodies!
They have such a wide range of products, I can guarantee you will spend ages perusing the website and with prices starting from £1, you really can’t go wrong.
You can also follow them on twitter at @KeepItSweetUK and/or like them on facebook for more news and offers.
