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!

Love Wine Gums, so they’d be the first sweets going into my cart.
I honestly can’t choose! I think I’d have to go with the fizzy sweet mix
I like retro sweets, so I’d like the Fruit Salads.
My top choice would be the Glisten Chocolate Mini Eggs. I love chocolate and I can’t resist Mini Eggs!
I like fizzy sweets, so the 1kg Fizzy Sweet Mix would be top of my list.
Fizzy sweets for my little boy as they are his favourites
I would love milk bottles , strawberry milkshake bottles and some fizzy sweets for my husband
All the fizzy sweet options!! nothing better!!
strawberry pencils , i love the soft centres and chewy outside
I would choose fizzy cola bottles, my favourite childhood sweets. What a blast from the past that would be!
jelly cherries are a favourite
Cola Bottles!
cola bottles and fizzy dummies
Jazzies, bon bons….eveything!
White Jazzies I can’t get of them. The creamy candy with the crunch of the hundreds and thousands on top. Delicious 😋
Sherbet Lemons and other hard boiled sweets.
Fizzy cherry cola bottles because they’ve always been my favourite
coconut mushrooms as I’ve always enjoyed their taste since my dad gave me some when I was a kid
I would choose chocolate jazzie’s and blue & pink bubblegum bottles because they are sooooo good! 🙂 x
Jelly berries because they were my absolute favourite when I was young and I haven’t seen them in years! Also up there for particular nostalgia value are foam shrimps and bananas, milk bottles and fruit salads. Pick n mix is the best!
I would fill the bag with a variety of Bon Bons.
Tongue Painter Bats – My grandkids love watching their tongues change colour!
My son likes fizzy colas and peach rings, I’d go for chocolatey ones like jazzies and chocolate mice. Also I haven’t had chocolate fish and chips for years!
Too many to choose from but definitely fish and chips, jazzies, dracula teeth, fizzy peaches and red lips because they remind me of the 10p sweet bags I used to buy as a kid.
Difficult choice but definitely Toffee Bonbons, Jazzies, milk bottles and aniseed balls as they remind me of my childhood and going to the corner shop
