The Great Jelly Baby
Jaunt!

The humble but much-loved Jelly Baby. He doesn’t get out much does he?

Until now!

Here at A Quarter Of we want this little icon to experience a summer holiday like the rest of us so we’ve launched the Great Jelly Baby Jaunt.

This summer, as you go off on your holidays at home or abroad, we’re inviting you to take your little jelly friend with you and then email in a photograph to us showing your jelly baby on his travels.

He (or she) could be climbing up the Eiffel Tower, maybe he’ll be reclining on a beach in Fiji or perhaps he’s on a day trip trying the amusements on Blackpool pier!

Wherever he goes, take a photograph and email it to is at jellybaby@aquarterof.com.

The jelly baby who is judged by the A Quarter Of team to have holidayed in the most interesting location will win a stunning two-night luxury stay at a stylish UK boutique hotel of their choice.

Jelly Baby at the Eiffel Tower  


Choose from beautiful hotels including the prestigious Crown Inn at Amersham or the Ambassadors in Bloomsbury.There’s a host of hotels in other locations such as Dorset, Conwy, Somerset and Gwynedd – so you can decide where tickles your fancy!

There will also be two runners-up prizes of a Large Wooden Box of Nostalgia, packed full of retro sweets.

Check out the A Quarter Of Fan Page on Facebook throughout the summer in order to view some of the best photographs.

The competition closes at midnight on Tuesday 31 August 2010.

Treats for my parent`s 50th Wedding Anniversary
Just to say how delighted, once again, I have been with your service.

I ordered a large box of and other treats for my parent`s 50th Wedding Anniversary, not knowing what else to send.

They were thrilled and, excuse the pun, are like children in a sweet shop.

I have used your service on a couple of occasions and am very happy to recommend it to friends.

Best wishes.

Brilliant Site and Service
Just wanted to say how fantastic the 60s Retro Box is.

I ordered one for my boyfriends birthday and not only did it arrive super quickly, its absolutely full to the brim.

The only problem I have is trying to squeeze it all back into the box after my sneak peek.

Brilliant Site and Service

My Friend Loved Her Gifts
I would just like to say how very happy I was with your service.

One of the items I ordered was for a friend`s birthday and I was worried it would not reach me time.

I loved the fact I could track my order all the way along.

It arrived when I needed it, my friend loved her gift and so did alot of other people.

Fantastic service, great sweets.

Loved it all. Thank you

Sarah
