Perhaps nothing is more nostalgic for many people than being surrounded by rows of colourful sweets. Back in the old days, people used to love scooping up their favourites into a paper bag at their local sweet shop.
We look to provide a similar (but more convenient experience!) online. Candymail has a huge variety of top-quality pick and mix sweets delivered straight to your door. That includes pick and mix, along with a section dedicated to Easter.
A Brief History of Pick and Mix Sweets
The delight of picking and mixing sweets has been around since the Edwardian age. However, the concept can be traced back even further. In Britain in the Victorian era, sweets were often doled out by shopkeepers into paper bags.
Woolworths, a shop which has sadly now disappeared, made pick and mix a household name. It introduced self-service counters in the 1950s, which was a revolutionary concept at the time.
Fast forward to today, and the love for pick and mix hasn’t faded. If anything, it's grown – just gone digital. Now, companies like Candymail offer that same excitement, just online. And the selection? Even better than what we remember.
