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!

Anything chocolate would be added to my cart as im a real chocoholic
I love anything cherry flavoured, so either fizzy cherries or happy cherries.
I’d fill it up completely with chocolate limes, can’t beat them.
I love pic n mix. Strawbs are number one for me.
I’d add the fizzy watermelon slices because I love anything watermelon flavoured and so do my kids!
The Haribo Rhubarb & Custard candy looks delish!
Fizzy watermelons slices, Fizzy cherry cola bottles and Rhubarb and custard would certainly make the list. Simply because i like them.
I would add fizzy bubblegum bottles, pigs mugs, passion Fruit slices and midget gems as those are all my favourite sweets.
Cola bottles and jazzies/snowies as those are my partners favourites 🙂
I don’t like these sorts of sweets, but my partner would be in heaven, he would take all of them.
Fruit Salads and Black Jack’s to transport me back to my youth.
Yummy, looks delicious and enough to share
I love Fried Eggs sweets – all to myself as others avoid them 🙂
I love Fried Eggs sweets. They remind me of childhood !
Would be such a fun task choosing which sweets to put in the bag
Freaky Fish, Bon Bons and Jazzies. As far as I can tell they don’t contain gelatine and as I am vegetarian that is essential.
White chocolate mice. They’d be a nostalgic treat as they were my favourite when I was little.
I am obsessed with Strawberry Pencils. I also love a foam banana!
foam mushrooms, foam shrimps, dracula teeth, white chocolate stars, twin cherries and haribo jelly babies
Mini Foam Bananas loved these since I was a bairn, used to get them in my 1d mix
I would add Flying Saucers because they are my favourites and Pina Colada Slices because I have never tried them before but I like Pineapple & Coconut.
My kids love jelly hearts so I’d add those to my cart
Chocolate limes, love them but haven’t had them for ages
There looks to be a good range of Vegan Pick N Mix. I’d like to try the different Bubs flavours.
I would choose sweet tobacco as it was a childhood favourite but unfortunately they don’t stock it so I would go for jelly beans, another childhood favourite
