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.

Fantastic Quality Boxes, Absolutely Stuffed With Sweeties

Just wanted to write and say a huge thank you to A Quarter Of.

I recently placed my first order with you, getting ready for Christmas (much to my husbands disgust, who thinks that Christmas shopping should start mid-December!)

Not only did the sweets arrive in super-quick time, they were amazing!

I ordered two big `decade` boxes, one for the 50s and one for the 70s, and they are fantastic quality boxes absolutely stuffed with sweeties. I wish I`d bought one for myself as well! I know I`ll have at least 2 people who will be thrilled with their Christmas pressies.

Thanks again, I will definitely be back!

Best wishes,

Victoria
