Description

A Personalised 1950s Decade Box - Sweets from your 1950s Childhood - We are constantly asked for historical information: 'It's my auntie Marjorie's 60th, can you tell me what sweets were around when she was young?' Well fret no more, 'cos auntie Marjorie's in for a treat... hoorah!

We've carried out a whole load of research, and put together a large gift box full of all the classic sweets from the nostalgic 50s era, so it's bound to get them reminiscing about the good old days!

Plus... now you can personalise yours with your very own design... you can even upload photos!

Just to give you an idea, the sweets inside the box weigh in at a WHOPPING 1.8kg and it measures 33cm x 25cm x 7cm Deep - it's a really meaty box! It contains all these lovely goodies that will make the lucky recipient go all misty-eyed:

I was very surprised and extremely happy with my 1950's themed sweet box!
It was huge! The box was very good quality and a lovely ribbon. The printed sticker was great quality too!
The sweets were varied and my 70 year old father absolutely loved the nostalgia of his favourite childhood sweets.‎

Birthday gift for my mum. She was thrilled. Interestingly she knew liquorice wood as “sticky lice”; perhaps something particular to 1950’s Liverpool. ‎
