This week, 2 Retro Sweet Hampers arrived at my door! One for me to review (eat all of the sweeties) and one for me to give to one of my lovely readers! How exciting!!!
When I was contacted regarding the review I was told that I could choose a product from either TreatHer.com or TreatHim.com I searched the sites and had a very hard decision to make! There were so many things that I would have loved to review!
I kept being drawn back to one product. The sweets! I wonder why? 😉 I just kept thinking how great it would be to let Bob taste sweets from my childhood. It would also be pretty good for my husband and I to eat some too! 😉
My hamper contained:
Shrimps,
Candy Sticks,
Cola Bottles,
Milkshake Bottles,
Whistles (like lipsticks),
Rainbow Drops,
Double Dips,
Drumsticks (large and small),
Popping Candy,
Parma Violets,
Fizzers,
Refreshers Chews,
Fried Eggs,
Fizzy Hearts,
Dolly Necklaces,
Double lollies (large and small),
Jelly Babies,
Love Hearts,
Flying Saucers,
Marshmallows,
Liquorice Wheels,
Gobstoppers and
Jelly Beans.
WOW! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
I allowed Bob to try the ones that were suitable over several days. She doesn’t sleep as it is, I didn’t want to make matters worse! 😉
She loved the fried eggs and the shrimps! She didn’t think too much of the flying saucers but maybe I was a bit naughty to give her one of those. I just wanted to see her reaction. Oh dear! 😉
We have really enjoyed reviewing this hamper! We have had several tasting sessions and we still have enough sweets left to last us until Christmas. It is such a treat and it is something that you wouldn’t buy for yourself. It would make a wonderful gift for someone, as it is such an exciting thing to receive and there is something for everyone!

That’s hilarious! 😉
Lovely prize, fingers crossed.
Caramac! DH grew up in Australia and looks at me very strangely when I go into raptures about the sweets of my childhood. He doesn’t understand the delights of sherbet fountains, fruit salad, soor plooms, rhubarb and custard and spangles.
I used to love Caramacs!!! Ate far too many of them so haven’t had one for a while.
I am just as sophisticated!!! 😉
I love the double dips, but best by far in Kali just love the sticky fingers after!!
