the gifted penguin blog

We all love to reminise about our childhood and how the sun always shone, the holidays were endless & Tucker was the coolest guy at Grange Hill. One of the topics, often with friends, about our childhood is sweets! We can spend many a moment reminising about sherbet dib dabs, black jacks, refreshers and drumstick lollies. I think my favourite were refresher chews which had a shot of sherbet in the middle but I also loved nothing more than going to the shop and getting a ‘quarter’ of something. There before your eyes was heaven on a shelf, with just row upon row of loose sweets waiting for you to choose them.

Throughout the past couple of years one of our best selling items, especially at Christmas has been our retro sweets hampers, which we offer in either a Superman or Wonder Woman tin.  People love to give a gift which will evoke memories of their childhood and both the sweets and the tin fulfill this. We are introducing another retro hamper this Christmas with the very iconic Union Jack tin.
