My Son's sweet hamper

[Snow angel]

My son loves sweets and as he is 21 this week i made him a sweet hamper (sweet box) up i have seen something very much the same on sale and it wasnt cheep

[xrheax]

Thats lovely - I know what everyones birthday presents are going to be next year

Well done you - I am sure he will love it (I know I would)

[cuttingcreations]

yum yum yum that's all I can say :-) I've not seen some of those sweets for years and wish it was my birthday!

OMG - are they Anglo Bubblys I can see (top row, 3rd from left)? They were the best bubble blowing gum ever when I was a young un! But they were expensive . . . . . you only got 1 for 1p but you could get 8 Black Jacks or Fruit Salads for 1p. We used to get quite a lot for our 10p mix-ups in the 70's.

Fantastic idea for someone with a sweet tooth - and I would think that you can get all the sweets from the pick n mix range.

Can I have one please?

[Critchley]

Thats an excellent idea. It can be adapted for different ages. Thankyou.
I have been making boxes for gifts - 6" x 6" x 2"high and decorating them so I can put separators in and put cake cases into them and fill with different fudges for my Aunts. Whooppee, another prob. solved.

HOW MUCH wow i might have to put mine on there see how much i can get lol

[Pebbles]

So I take it yours was less than £7.99?

I saw some of these in a candy shop last weekend, £20 for a big jar of sweets, the thought never occurred to me to make my own! Duh!

What a fab idea, now I am going to quickly steal your idea before you patent it!

Those big jars were my inspiration last Christmas, I bought some large jars from the pound shop and then we went to Bookers (cash n carry), bought lots of penny sweets and filled the jars up and finished with a bow - ideal pressies for probably less than a fiver each.

Must admit though I do prefer Snowangel's hamper - it looks fantastic

Mmmmm....yummy, I want one! Saw a mini sweetie jar in BHS yesterday with those banana flavoured thingy's in, and they were over £6.00 for just a handful!!

[Ifor-Jones]

The sweet hamper looks great and you have obviously given lots of us new ideas!! This place is a mine of useful information.

My sister made one of these for me for my birthday last year - It was great! It was ncie to know that she had put thought and effort into it too. The sweets didn't last long though
