So do you think it'll be cheaper to buy own jar & sweets from shops as opposed to a ready made box from the internet?

I got some stuff from here last year for the secret santa at work. (I picked our very difficult to buy for boss, a child of the seventies).

Try Firebox, I've seen them on there + they usually have voucher codes floating about you could use to to help with the price!

Nice one. I'll certainly check it out :beer:

Which seems the best supermarket for these sweets?

these boxes are VERY overpriced
lots of us on the special occassions forum make them every year for christmas

we use the boxes you get for screws and nails and such
£3 from maplin
and you fill with sweets you know they will like (usually less than £5 a box)
there is a thread and lots of piccies
