Swizzels Retro Sweet Hamper: Review
AD – I was sent the products shown in this post for review purposes.
Sweets are definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. There is nothing quite like getting your hands on a good selection, to enjoy.
So when I was asked if I would like to check out one of the gift selections Swizzels have on offer and I just had to say yes!
Who are Swizzels?

Swizzels is perhaps one of the most recognised sweet brands in the UK. Offering sweets such as; Love Hearts, Rainbow Drops, Refreshers, Drumsticks and so many more.
As a brand, Swizzels was established in London in 1928. However, during WWII it was relocated to New Mills in Derbyshire. They moved into a former textiles mill, over 150 years old which had been rebuilt in 1883 after a large fire. This was originally meant to be a temporary move, however, they are still based there.
Over the years, they have made many different sweets, especially with Love Hearts to celebrate special occasions. Such as Will and Kates wedding and Prince George’s birth.
These days as well as being sold in stores across the UK, they also sell from their own online Swizzels shop. Where you can buy direct from the factory, with many items being able to be specially personalised.
Personalised Retro Premium Red Sweet Hamper

I was kindly sent the Personalised Retro Premium Red Sweet Hamper to try.
This hamper is full of retro goodies and comes packaged in a red and gold hamper. For that extra special touch, you can also personalise the label to the inside lid. Inside the box is 794g of retro sweets, which includes favourites such as:
- Rainbow Drops
- Parma Violets
- Double Dip
- Squashies
- Love Hearts
- Refreshers
- and more!
This delicious parcel of goodies comes in at £12.99, with the shop offering free postage when you spend over £6.99.
Overall Thoughts.

I was amazed by the number of sweets that were tucked into the box (this image just shows some), especially for the price.
Due to the range of products included, I think there would be something for most tastes. Due to the offering of a selection of flavours across the sweets.
Personally, I feel like a box such as this one would make for a really nice gift idea for a sweet lover.
When it comes to Swizzels Shop itself I am impressed by the wide range available. You can even choose to shop by vegan and halal-friendly options. With each hamper clearly listing its suitability for a range of dietary requirements. It is also easy to navigate and search on.
As such if you are buying for a sweet lover, I can definitely suggest checking out this website.

Drumstick Choo my sons absolute fave and his eighteenth is next month so just perfect for that………
the 750g Sweetshop Favourite Tub is definitely the most delicious!!
I’d love the drumsticks for my son’s birthday party.
I love that nobody else in my home like parma violets , so I don’t have to share
I like the 750g Sweetshop Favourite Tub I think
I love the fact that Drumsticks (and the rest) are now gelatin-free. An occasion to sample them? Whenever I can get my hands on them!
The mega double lollies look cool. They’d be great for party bag treats.
Love Choos – could sit all day in front of the TV all evening munching them!!
Definitly the love hearts. I dont know ANYONE who doesnt like them and i think theyd be very apt for my daughters enagement party xx
So many great items, always a family favourite range. I love the Parma Violets but would love to be able to afford a variety hamper as a treat for my son’s upcoming birthday.
Will bear the site in mind for when finances are hopefully better.
Large parma violets there always great for my sons birthday
I like the love heats, Palma violets and fizzes the best xx
I would love the drumstick choos…..maybe for a family gathering.
I like drumsticks the best. I don’t need a special occasion to eat them lol
I think a big bag of refreshers would go down elk with my children
I’d like the refreshers like we had at the school tuck shop to take a trip down memory lane when I meet up with my old school friends.
I love love hearts and refreshers equally so tasty. A hamper would be good.
chewing drumsticks whilst watching a movie
Drumsticks are a childhood favourite of mine, perfect for munching while watching a movie.
A box of Drumstick chews would be great for helping me munch my way through a box set
Love your fun gums range…perfect for a candy station at my nieces birthday party later this year
Rainbow drops for my son’s birthday
The 750g Sweetshop Favourite Tub looks great and would be good for parties
the large size parma violets always my fave and I would eat these anytime of day with no reason needed
Parma Violets or Love Hearts – both are amazing!
