I had a look in Woolworth and Wilkinson but couldn't find any. Did find a couple in my local pound shop though :j

The Works sell them in their craft section for about £1.50 - £2 I believe.

No they are plastic fruits with a tiny screw top lid which are filled with a very sour sherbet powder... if you look then they're in the wooden box linked to above.

Sweetstall sell these:

Afternoon folks,

Reporting back!!! I found some little clear boxes with 12 compartments, they measure 11cm x 21cm and look very nice!

Best of all they are only 99p!!!! In my local tesco (its quite a big one) beside the paint and car stuff.

If anyone needs a few and don't have one near them i don't mind picking a few up and posting them if you cover the costs. I'm going later today to get a few and if anyone can explain how to post a picture I'll certainly try!

HTH

Sorry if this has already been posted but I couldn't be bothered to read through all the posts!

My local poundland had the boxes for these sweet hampers but smaller, at about A5 size. They are 3 for £1!

I've got 3 neighbours kids to buy for and we set a pound limit so these are perfect!!!!

great thread-going to try and make one myself.Couldn't resist though as mouth was watering so rushed down to locol paper shop and managed to get
black jacks, fruit salads, a liquorice straw, a dip dab sherbet with lolly, marshmallows and a long chewy snake and am currently munching on all these goodies.Have just remembered that aswell as the candy necklace we used to have the gummy sweetie rings which all the girls would buy, white chocolate mice and chewy sweets shaped liked fried eggs and can't forget the gummy lips which most of the boys in my class used to pretend to snog.

Thanks for this. Got 2 slightly bigger ones from Tescos to do for my girls. I think they were £1.97. They've got 18 compartments. I took a pic in case anyone wanted to see what they were like (empty of course - I couldn't buy sweeties this early - I'd eat them )

Just thought I'd mention that I've just been into town and Julian Graves has a half price on everything sale on - they had some great bags of retro sweets in. I am now the proud owner of 200g of pink shrimps that will no way make it to Christmas! :rotfl:
