From £24.95
970ml Victorian-style jar, hand-filled with the pick & mix you choose, sealed with their name and age on the label. The default birthday gift.
For kids' parties
From £3.70 per cone
Cellophane cones layered with kid-friendly pick & mix, sealed with our gold sticker. Easier to hand out than jars; better in a party bag.
For grown-up birthdays
From £5.50
Kraft gift box of artisan fudge squares with a printed card inside in your own words. For the birthday recipient who would rather have salted caramel than fizzy laces.
Who is it for
The pick & mix and the label tone shift to suit the recipient. Use these as starting points or build from scratch in /build.
For children
Bright label, kid-friendly mix, a cone for the party bag.
Foam bananas, fizzy strawberries, jelly mix, marshmallows. Label carries an age, a name, and an icon they pick.
For teens
Sour pencils, fizzy mix, an inside joke on the label.
Two-line message handles birthday-card humour. Sour cherry slices, sour dummies, fizzy peach rings.
For Mum, Dad, Nan, Grandad
Classic mix, age front-and-centre, the gift set for milestones.
Pear drops, rhubarb-and-custard, milk bottles, traditional pick. Medium 970ml jar for the day itself, gift set of four medium jars tied with our signature ribbon for big milestones.
For partners
A jar with a real message, not just a name.
Two lines, 24 chars each, long enough for "to my favourite human, 12 years and counting". Pair with a 4-piece fudge favour box from £5.50.
For colleagues
Office-safe, share-friendly, ships direct.
The 970ml jar reads well on a desk. We can ship straight to the office address with your gift card inside; no Vivid Delights branding visible from outside the box.
For best friends
In-jokes, throwbacks, the whole sweet shop.
Pick & mix from 30+ options. Best-friend birthdays are where people pile in foam shrimp and rhubarb-and-custard with no apology.

Lands on the recipient's doormat
Tracked 48 usually takes 2 to 3 working days; Tracked 24 at checkout aims for the next working day. The tracking link comes to you by email when it leaves us, so you can pass it on.
On the day
They open it
Your message card, if you added one, and the personalised jar tied with our signature ribbon.
After
They keep the jar
The Victorian-style jar with their name on it tends to live on a shelf afterwards, pencil pot, biscuit jar, second life as a sweet jar refilled at the corner shop. That's the point.
FAQ
We post within 1 working day of your order by Royal Mail Tracked 48, which usually takes 2 to 3 working days. If you need it sooner, choose Tracked 24 at checkout when it is offered: Royal Mail aims to deliver it the next working day after we post it, though that is not guaranteed. If the birthday is very close, email hello@vividdelights.co.uk before you order and we will tell you honestly whether we can make it.
Two lines, up to 24 characters per line. Most people use line one for the name (Happy 30th, James, To Mum on Your 60th) and line two for an age, year or short message. The font is our house Playfair italic; no font swaps in the standard product, but bespoke layouts are quoted on request.
Yes, for sweet jars: add a message card in the jar builder and we print your message on a card and tuck it in with the jar. The card is unbranded so it reads as a card from you, not from us.
The medium 970ml jar is the most popular for birthdays, about 100 sweets, more than enough for one person. The smaller 500ml is good for children or as a stocking-filler-sized gift. For a milestone where you want it to feel like an occasion in itself, the coordinated gift set (four medium jars boxed together) lands better than a single jar.
The personalised medium jar starts at £24.95, including pick & mix of your choice and a personalised label. Sweet cones for kids parties start at £3.70 each. Our 4-piece fudge gift box starts at £5.50.
Yes. The Build-Yours flow at /build has a children's preset stocked with the kid-friendly classics (foam strawberries, fizzy bubblegum bottles, marshmallows, jelly mix) and the label can carry a cake icon, a dinosaur, a unicorn, a football, or whatever theme they have decided is the only theme this year. We update the icon set seasonally.
Yes. At checkout, set the delivery address to theirs. We will not include any pricing or paperwork in the box; the only thing they see is your gift message and the personalised jar. We send the dispatch confirmation to your email so you know it has arrived.
Milestones are our most-requested birthday job. The label takes the age cleanly (HAPPY 21st / DAVE) and the medium 970ml jar holds about a hundred sweets, which suits a buffet or office cake-table without looking under-scaled. For a sixtieth or seventieth, the coordinated gift set (four medium jars boxed together) with our hand-tied signature ribbon reads more "occasion" than a single jar.
Most of our pick & mix is vegetarian, with a strong vegan range (Bubs, Candycrave, Vidal, Kingsway). For a fully-vegan birthday jar, pick the Vegan preset in Build-Yours or message us. Most lines are gluten-free; we mark gluten-containing varieties on the customiser. Our kitchen handles nuts in the fudge range; if you need a clean batch, email us and we will arrange it.
Yes, for 25 or more, the bulk-favours pricing kicks in (5% off at 50, 10% at 100, 15% at 200+). Sweet cones are usually a better fit than jars for school parties: cheaper per child, easier to hand out, less likely to break in a school bag. The calculator at /favours runs the numbers.
Build a jar in five minutes, or pick a preset and personalise the label. We post within 1 working day of your order.
