Retro Sweets Heaven!

Online Sweet Shop

A Quarter Of is the online sweet shop where you'll find the widest sweet treat selection of old sweets around - from milk chocolate covered caramel to black licorice, chewy candy in the form of jellies and gummies to banana split toffee and rum truffles.  We have old time favourites like peanut brittle and spearmint imperial mints, 70s and 80s treats such as jawbreaker chews, white candy cigarettes (now minus the red tip and called candy sticks!), gobstopper balls and candy necklaces.

If you have a sweet tooth (or you know someone else who does) then you've come to the perfect place - we're like your old fashioned, nostalgic candy filled, sweet shoppe where you can still enjoy "a quarter of sweets" - a modern day Willy Wonka emporium!

Whether you’re reliving your childhood by choosing your old-school tuckshop favourites or you’ve decided to introduce younger generations to old fashioned sweets, A Quarter Of is the retro sweet shop that has everything you’ve ever dreamed of.

From Flying Saucer sweets, Drumstick lollies and Popping Candy through to Aniseed Balls, Wham Bars and Anglo Bubbly Bubblegum, every memory of your youth is here for you to rediscover. When you order at AQuarterOf traditional sweets can be delivered as fast as the next day direct to your doorstep to either share with friends and family or to keep all to yourself as a special treat.

Whilst you may be too old for pocket money now, you’re never too old to enjoy the flavours and sensations of pick and mix sweets from your childhood retro sweet shop from years gone by; sweet or sour sweets, chewy or crunchy they will be sent to you picked and wrapped with love. You’ll even be able to enjoy the excitement of opening up the contents as many of our weigh-out sweets (one good thing these days is that, because we sell in kilograms not pounds, you get almost double the amount when you order "a quarter of sweets"!) come packed in our fab custom-made retro style cartoony bags.

Remember wearing different types of 1970s and 80s candy jewellery... watches and necklaces?  And Popping Candy that exploded in your mouth?  Heston Blumenthal uses that in some of his recipes now... can you believe it?  Talk about gourmet candy... old sweets are back with a vengeance!

Fill your basket with all your favourites today, from the brands you love, like Haribo, Barratts and Maynards... and treat yourself to a few you’ve never tried before; you’ll be back playing football on the field or making a den in the woods in your mind in no time once you receive your treasure trove of sugary delights.

Retro Sweet Gifts For Christmas, Birthdays and Much More

When do someone's favourite old-fashioned sweets make great gifts?  Every day! 

Don't just think of of high quality retro sweets for Birthdays or Christmas sweets (though they are sure-fire winners for both of those), they make perfect "guaranteed to go down a storm" gift ideas and presents for Anniversaries, Christenings, Engagements, Weddings, to say "Congratulations" (for passing a driving test or a new baby maybe?), "Sorry" or "Thank You" (to your children's teacher at the end of the school year).  And they are a solid gold pick-me-up as a Get Well Soon gift (nostalgic sweets are so much tastier than a bunch of grapes!).

You can choose from a selection of their favourite retro sweets in quarter kilos, a sweetshop style box or jar of mouthwatering candies or chocolates... plus personalisation is available with many of the gifts in our store and you can send them to most places in the World using our super-fast delivery so they can get their sugar fix quick sharp!

Plus they're the way to your beloveds love heart (see what I did there?) on Valentines Day, at Easter (so much more imaginative than wafer-thin chocolate eggs), on other special occasions including Mothers Day and Fathers Day.  Plus at Halloween we always have some sweets that are especially scary... perfect for your ghoulish party!

And you're spoilt for choice... whatever your budget, whatever their age and whatever their taste.  Pick from one of our jamp-packed retro sweet hampers (they make great Christmas hamper ideas!), our personalised sweet jars of bestsellers - your personalised label can even include photos you upload.
