Retro sweet boxes

I have found some fo these boxes in woolworths. the only have 15 compartments but they are quite deep. they were being sold for £1 each. red blue,white and silver i think.
just incase anyone is thinking about them for this year.

just taken a closer look at these as i was packing them in my box ready for the attic and they have moveable compartments too which would be a bonus if some sweets are longer etc

    out of all the presents I gave my 19 year old he enjoyed this one a lot!! I filled a box with sweets from his childhood and his mates were all sharing it saying ' wow havent had this for years etc' so was well appreciated
