Sweets Direct Review: A Pick ‘n’ Mix Lover’s Dream
AD
If you’re anything like me, the words Pick ‘n’ Mix instantly transport you back to happy childhood days, the excitement of that cup or paper bag with your favourites, then trying (and often failing) to resist nibbling before you get to the till. Well, thanks to Sweets Direct, that nostalgic joy is now just a few clicks away, and it’s even better when you can do it from your sofa in your pyjamas and have it delivered straight to your door!
A Sweet Selection for Every Appetite

One of the things I love about Sweets Direct is that their Pick ‘n’ Mix comes in a range of sizes to suit any craving, or excuse! You can go for:
- 250g – 5 picks
- 500g – 10 picks
- 1kg – 20 picks
- 1.75kg – 35 picks
- 2kg – 20 picks
- 5kg – 50 picks
I was kindly sent the 1kg option, which meant I could choose 20 different sweet treats. Honestly, it felt like the online version of standing in front of a giant sweet stand with a scoop in hand, only without the risk of someone knocking into you mid-scoop.
Easy to Navigate & Fun to Use
The Sweets Direct website is beautifully laid out and easy to navigate, to find the sweets of your choice, from pre-mixed sweet options, to retro favourites and more! You can even shop by sweet type if you know exactly what you want. They also have a 5-star food hygiene rating
When it comes to the Pick ‘n’ Mix page, one of my favourite features is the handy tracker that shows you exactly how many picks you’ve selected for your chosen size. It’s perfect for making sure you don’t accidentally miss out on a sweet you had your eye on or overfill your bag (although, is there really such a thing as too many sweets?).
Freshness Guaranteed

When my order arrived, I was impressed by how fresh everything was. The sweets come with a Best Before date for both when they’re sealed and after you open the pack, ideal for those with more willpower than me who might make them last longer than a few days.
The Pick ‘n’ Mix create your own range starts at £3.99!
Delivery & Dispatch
Sweets Direct, send via Royal Mail Tracked 48 or Tracked 24 (depending on how desperate your sweet tooth is). Dispatch is quick, just 1–2 business days, and delivery is free when you spend £45 or more.
A Little Something Back – The Loyalty Programme
If you think you might become a repeat customer (and I suspect you will), their loyalty programme is worth signing up for. You earn 10 points for every £1 spent, and every 100 points is worth 50p off your next order. It’s a sweet little bonus that adds up quickly.
Plus, if you really like Pick ‘n’ Mix, you can sign up for a monthly subscription and save 15% with the choices of 500g or 1kg and fizzy, non-fizzy or a mix!
Final Thoughts

Whether you’re stocking up for a movie night, sending a gift, or simply treating yourself because you deserve it (and you do), Sweets Direct makes it easy, fun, and delicious. With so many size options, a smooth ordering process, and the joy of creating your own personalised Pick ‘n’ Mix, it’s definitely a treat worth trying.
Tip: Just be prepared, choosing between fizzy bottles, jelly hearts, chocolate treats, and gummy bears is harder than it looks!

I’d definitely get a couple of bars of Hershey’s Cookies ‘N’ Creme, they’re just so delicious 🙂
Can’t wait to try the fizzy rainbow bites! They were always my favourite to get from the local newspaper agents when I was growing up
I love all sweets but I’d prefer some fizzy ones as they’re my favourite!
I would choose some of the retro sweets like Black Jacks and Love Hearts along with things with sherbet in like Flying Saucers and Sherbet Lemons. Why? Because they rekindle happy memories of my 50s childhood and spending a long time in the sweet shop deciding how to spend my 3d (later 6d) a week pocket money. I am also a lifelong sherbaholic!
I am fond of the lemon sherbets as they remind me of going to the sweet shop when I was young
I would add fizzy cola bottles as it brings back memories of buying them from the school tuck shop
The vegan fizzy mix sounds like a bit of me!
Sooo many favourites on their website! But I would have to choose icy cups and spinning tops, yum!
I’d start with mini foam bananas, jazzies, white chocolate mice and fried eggs.
I would choose Blackberry & Raspberry Gums – I struggle to find these in a lot of sweet shops and I love them!!
foam strawberries, shrimps, bananas, jazzies chocolate limes and liquorice allsorts as these are my favourite sweets.
I like the fizzy sweets and Rhubarb & Custard best
All of them as it is more fun that way
Raspberry Liquorice Slices or white chocolate mice. sometimes two different sweets at the same time creates a better combo flavour.
I would actually eat all of these, no way to pick a favourite – yummy!
I would just pick the largest pick-n-mix as I couldn’t just pick one thing as it all looks so good, and of course would need the biggest one to try more!
i love cola bottles
I feel that I should be too old for pick n mix but it turns out I’m not
You are never to old for pick ‘n’ mix!
Pink sweet mix as they are my absolute favourite
These Mini Foam Bananas remind me so much of my childhood running to the shop to get sweets out of the penny tray!
I would add a true mix of sweets ranging from fizzy cola bottles to foam shrimps!
I would build a large bag of Laffy Taffy out of your fine selection of flavours as it has always been a favourite of mine.
I love that they have a vegan option and do a bag, most places just do a couple of different sweets… this is brilliant
I would choose the Haribo Gold Bears. They are not only delicious , but also have great nostalgic value , reminding me of my childhood , and the many occasions I would buy them as a treat .
I would add Blue Raspberry Bonbons! They remind me of my childhood!
