Our story
We're Kim and Mehdi. Welcome in.
Vivid Delights is the two of us, a Brentwood kitchen, and the small problem we kept noticing: most gifts arrive feeling like a transaction, not a thought. We're trying to fix that, one hand-filled jar at a time.
How we started
Two hundred favours, one wedding, no plan
In 2021 a friend asked Kim to make two hundred favours for her wedding. We turned the kitchen table into a production line, found suppliers we trusted, and figured out how to print labels that didn't look like office stationery. The favours went down well. Then her cousin asked. Then her cousin's colleague asked.
Four years on, we're still in the same kitchen. Bigger order book. Same hands.
What we believe
A few things we won't compromise on
Everything made to order
No jar sits on a shelf waiting to be bought. Every jar is hand-packed the morning it ships. The sweets are fresh, the labels are printed that day, the ribbon is tied by hand.
British confectioners where we can
Our suppliers are British where we can find them, a few of them three generations into the same recipes. Specialist European brands where the best version comes from elsewhere. Never cheap imports for margin.
Proper packaging, properly recyclable
Kraft card boxes, glass-style jars, paper ribbon options, no plastic foam. The only plastic in our dispatch is the Royal Mail sticker.
A real person reads every email
Send us a message during working hours and you reach one of us, not a support portal. If your order is late, tell us. We'll fix it.
The day your order arrives
