Born in the Forties Sweets Large Gift Box

Revisit the 1940s with this classic hamper of old fashioned sweets. It is an ideal gift for an 80th birthday, but also Christmas, Mothers Day or Fathers day. Full of forties sweets classics, such as aniseed balls, pear drops, sherbet and much more, why not send grandma or grandpa on a trip down memory lane.

If you are unsure of the history of some of these sweets, variations of all the sweets in the box would have been available in the 1940s, for example Lions have been making hard gum sweets like the original and best Midget Gem since 1903s in West Yorkshire. Fry's chocolate creams are one of the very oldest chocolate bars with a history extending into the 19th century. The only thing about the 1940's is that the sweet would have been very hard to get hold of because of the second world war and rationing, but you are unlikely to buy an empty box from us! 

The inside of the letterbox friendly delivery box is attractively presented, with a colourful themed picture on the inside of the lid and matching tissue paper. We can also include a personalised note from you to the recipient if required. This Sweets box can be posted direct to you or to an alternative delivery address, and makes a perfect birthday gift.
