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!

Strawberry pencils! They remind me of my childhood!
I’d go mostly rhubarb and custard – for me, and cola bottles – for my partner
I love Icy Cups, so chocolatey, smooth and very, very moreish!
White milk bottles and white mice have always been my first picks. I have to agree that Sweets Direct is the place to go for Pick ‘n’ Mix.
cherries and cola bottles!
I’d pick the strawberry pencils because they’re my all time favourites, but also the haribo rhubarb and custards, ive never seen them before and they are in my favorite shape so I expect they’d be delicous 😋
Shrimps and cola bottles were always my favourites – we used to walk home so we could spend the bus money at the sweet shop
my favourite sweets are baby dolphins so I would choose to add those
I would take my luck, knowing I would like whatever I chose.
rhubarb and custard, cola bottles and fried eggs. Those are my favourite
It’s got to be retro for a trip down memory lane. Cola bottles because we all love them. Shrimps, Jelly Babies and other retro sweets.
Fizzy bubblegum bottles and Haribo rhubarb and custard. My two absolute favourites.
Fizzy Bubblegum Bottles / Baby Dolphins / Green & Red Candy Canes / Witches Heads
For me, it’s white chocolate mice, sherbets and pink prawns.
Icy cups were my absolute favourite as a child, I would add them. The Pink Sweet Mix looks delicious too. I know my daughter would love this mix.
Fizzy cherries for me and anything blue raspberry flavour!
chocolate is my weakness
I would order fizzy cherries as they remind me of childhood
The giants strawberries, they are my absolute fave! 😍🍓
Weirdly I love gummy cola bottles but not the drink itself.
Oh my goodness, those Fried Eggs and Fizzy Colas would be straight on my list. They are soooo tasty & perfect for a pick me up when walking!
Would have to be the Rhubarb & Custard Chewy Bon Bons – combines two of my absolute favourites!
I would add white chocolate Jazzies as they’re my favourite and love crunching them
For me it has to be the Jelly Berries, I love jelly sweets, and the berry ones are always a favourite rather than orange, lemon, etc
Definitely the Milk teeth – I love the ones with the powder on and you don’t see them anymore.
