The detail

What actually happens

A jar of sweets sounds simple. A good one takes a few decisions.

02

Pick your sweets

Twenty-plus varieties. Mix as many as you like in the Expert customiser, or start from a preset if you want us to have done the thinking.

03

Design the label

Two lines of text, one of six ribbon colours, a choice of three label templates. Everything is previewed on the screen before you pay.

04

We hand-pack the morning it ships

Every jar is weighed, packed, sealed, labelled, and tied by hand. Posted Royal Mail first class or delivered locally.
