Our story
We're a family-run kitchen.Welcome in.
Vivid Delights is one family, one 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 us 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 day it ships. The sweets are fresh, the labels are printed that day, the ribbon is tied by hand.
Sweets from makers you know
We buy through a UK confectionery wholesaler, from makers such as Kingsway, Haribo, Vidal and Candycrave. The jar builder shows who made every sweet, so you know what goes in the jar.
Proper packaging, properly recyclable
Kraft card boxes and Victorian-style jars, no plastic foam. The jars are food-grade PET, made to be kept and refilled.
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.
