lightisfading

Well, here's mine for my brother this year. I've gone for wrapped sweets only as this could be posted, and either way made up in advance as I live a long way from home.

It contains Refreshers chew bars, Fruit Salad chew bar, Blackjacks, Fruit Salad chews. Fudge bar, Chomp bar, Candy Cigarettes, Chupa Chup lollies, ‘Double’ lollies (sherberty type ones), Drumstick lollies, Sherbert Fountain, Double Dip sherbert, Refreshers, Dip Dab sherbert, Jelly Tots, Cola Frosties, Tooty Frooties, Panda Licorice bars, Milkybars and Love Hearts. No idea of the costs as I've been picking bits up as I see them.

:T :T lightisfading that looks really lovely, could you tell me where you got your box from please?

I'm not going to be much help on that I'm afraid! I got a box that looked like this, but with fixed smaller compartments, from The Range, and then cus that wouldnt fit most of the sweets I swapped it for the other that would fit them from an existing storage set (4 boxes like that in a large storage box, originally from asda a couple of years ago I'm afraid!). Sorry!

Thank you anyway lightisfading, I'll keep looking - I really liked your box though. I saw some on ebay but they're a bit more than I wanted to pay really, especially with the postage.

Thanks jimsmum, I'm in a town tomorrow where they have a B&Q so I'll pop in there.

WOW I have just sat and read through this whole thread not realising it is over a year old.
This would be the perfect idea as gifts for my niece and nephew.
Am of to town on Monday to look for the boxes

I got mine from Wickes. They look like this...


This one is £2.29. There was a £10 off online orders offer a few months ago and picked them up then.
