A parcel of pick and mix sweets can make an ordinary day considerably more interesting. There is the pleasure of opening it, the pleasure of finding a favourite and, if it is a gift, the quieter pleasure of knowing someone remembered what you like. Ordering online also means you can compare flavours and formats without holding up a queue while you reconsider the cola bottles.
Explore our pick and mix sweets to choose a selection, then check the delivery options and estimated dates shown at checkout before placing your order.
Choose the Sweets Before the Delivery Format
It is tempting to begin with the largest bag or the prettiest box. Begin instead with the person who will open it. A brilliant parcel of sweets contains flavours they want, in a quantity that suits the occasion.
- For a sour sweet fan: look for sharp fruit flavours and fizzy coatings.
- For a traditionalist: include familiar retro sweet shop favourites.
- For a family: choose several flavours and textures so more than one person finds a favourite.
- For a personal treat: give your favourite sweets most of the space. There is no committee to satisfy.
Browse jelly sweets, gummy sweets, fizzy sweets and retro sweets for ideas. Check each listing for the formats and choices currently available.
Bag, Box or Jar: What Should You Send?
Pick and mix bags for an easy treat
A pick n mix bag suits someone who cares most about the sweets inside. It is a simple choice for a film night, a shared treat or a surprise sent to a friend. Check the listed weight so the quantity matches the number of people eating it.
Sweet boxes for a gift to open
A pick n mix box adds a sense of occasion. It suits birthdays, congratulations and the sort of thank-you that deserves more than a hurried message. Read the listing to see whether its contents are fixed or whether choices are available.
Pick and mix jars for display
A pick and mix jar shows off the colours and shapes before the recipient opens it. Check the jar’s listed size, contents and packaging details if you are sending it directly as a gift.
Sending Pick and Mix as a Gift
The most thoughtful gift is usually the most accurate one. If you know they love fizzy cherries, give those sweets a proper place in the selection. If they dislike liquorice, do not include it because somebody once told you a “balanced mix” ought to have everything. The recipient is the authority on their own favourites.
For a smaller surprise, compare letterbox sweets. For a wider range of present formats, browse gifts by post. Always check the individual product dimensions and delivery information; “letterbox” in a collection name is no substitute for the details of the item you order.
Check These Details Before You Order
- Contents: confirm whether you are choosing the sweets or buying a ready-made mix.
- Weight: check the amount of confectionery included, particularly when comparing a bag with a jar or box.
- Ingredients: read current allergen and dietary information for every relevant product.
- Delivery: review the available service, charge and estimated arrival date at checkout.
- Address: check the recipient’s name and delivery details before paying.
If the parcel is for a birthday or another fixed date, allow time for dispatch and delivery. Choose from the services actually offered at checkout rather than assuming a particular speed is available for every order.
Will the Sweets Travel Well Together?
Most of the choice comes down to taste, but texture matters in transit. Loose fizzy sugar can transfer to smooth gummies, while small crunchy candies can settle beneath larger pieces. If you want flavours and finishes to remain distinct, choose separately packed sweets where the listing offers that option.
Follow the storage information supplied with the sweets after delivery. Keep the parcel away from heat and direct sunlight, especially if it contains chocolate.
Pick and Mix Delivery Questions
Can I send pick and mix sweets directly to someone else?

What if the recipient has an allergy?
