Sweet Hampers
A sweet hamper from MakeHampers is a box of the sweets people actually remember. Love Hearts, Parma Violets and a Sherbet Fountain, fudge from Ultimate English and Buttermilk, and a bag or two of fizzy and sour to balance it out.
Every one is packed by hand in the UK, and the penny post boxes fit through a letterbox, so there is nobody to wait in for. Free UK delivery, whatever you spend, with no minimum order. Want chocolate in the mix? The chocolate hampers lean that way.

What Is in a Sweet Hamper
A sweet hamper is a gift box of sweets and a few soft things to go with them. Ours mix retro favourites with fudge, gummies and the odd fizzy bag. It leans playful. The sweets fill the box and the fuss stays out.
A sweet hamper typically holds:
- Retro sweets like Love Hearts, Parma Violets and sherbet
- Fizzy and sour sweets
- Fudge in a few flavours
- Gummies, jellies or chews
- Handed over in a box, ready to give
A letterbox box is the small end, a sharing hamper the large one. Sweets first, everything else second.
Retro Sweets
The retro sweets are the reason most people buy. A penny post retro box runs through the ones you grew up on: Love Hearts, Parma Violets, a Sherbet Fountain, Drumstick lollies, Black Jacks and Fruit Salad chews. Fizzers and Refreshers cover the fizzy end, a Fizz Wiz brings the bang, and there are sour ones for anyone who likes a sharp edge. It is less a hamper than a trip back to the corner shop.
Fudge and Softer Things
Not everyone wants a sugar rush. The fudge is the calmer option: Ultimate English salted caramel and brownie, Buttermilk strawbellini and clotted cream. Add a Yorkshire Flapjack or a bag of coconut clusters and it becomes a tea-and-a-sit-down box, not a playground one. Same idea, gentler on the teeth.
Sweet Hampers as a Gift
A sweet hamper is hard to get wrong. It lands the same at eight or eighty. It suits a birthday, a pick-me-up, or anyone with a sweet tooth and a bit of nostalgia. A gift message goes on at checkout, and the receipt stays out of it.
For a work order, the corporate hampers post to a whole list of people from a single checkout.
Chocolate, Vegan or Gluten-Free
Sweets do not have to mean only sweets. For chocolate in the mix, the chocolate hampers cover both at once. If it has to suit a diet, the vegan hampers and gluten-free hampers keep the sweets and swap out what has to go, and most retro sweets are vegetarian to start with. For a box that mixes sweets with crisps and savoury bits, the snack hampers put both in together.
Ordering and Delivery
Free UK delivery comes on every sweet hamper, with no minimum. Get the order in by 1pm for next day. The penny post boxes post through the letterbox, so there is no waiting in for those. The bigger hampers can be booked for a set day at checkout. See the delivery and returns page for the timings.
