It’s always amazed me how kids can point out sweets from a mile away. Maybe it’s the bright packaging or maybe they have some kind of sweet 6th sense that we can’t remember as adults. Either way, my little ones definitely have a sweet tooth. We have a sweetie box that we allow them to choose from occasionally, otherwise, it would be sweets for breakfast, lunch and dinner! With Easter coming up, Marlo will be in his chocolate element but Cameo isn’t that keen on the brown stuff, to be honest. He will take sweets over chocolate anytime. Plus, let’s be honest, chocolate is so messy and once an Easter egg is open, it’s like trying to store away gold, they’ll hunt it down because they know it’s there and it’s open! So this Easter, have you thought about gifting sweets as an alternative to chocolate?

Swizzels do fab personalised sweet hampers full of family favourites. You just choose which hamper you’d like, add the name and it will get posted for you. I love the retro feel to Swizzels because I feel like they’ve been around since I was a kid. The brightly coloured packaging always gives me a little kick of excitement, even now, so you can imagine Cameo and Marlo’s face when a Swizzels hamper turned up for each of them last week! The hampers are full of a variety of their retro sweets all individually packaged. The sweets include drumstick lollies, double lollies, parma violets, love hearts, squashies and more! It’s great value for money considering it comes boxed too. Prices start at just £4.99!

We’ll be popping some Swizzels in the garden this year for our Easter Egg hunt too. Their Squashies are perfect for Easter fun because they’re chick shaped and are mouth-wateringly good (Orange & Pineapple flavour if you’re wondering!) The main reason we love the Swizzels sweet hampers as an alternative to chocolate gifts this easter is because they can be shared between the boys, they can pick one at a time instead of having to open everything and put some back (drama!), plus, sticky fingers are much less likely compared to chocolate too!

Swizzels have an entire range of sweets for all occasions and you can’t beat getting a box full of goodies in the post just for you! It’s like opening a box of sunshine. Here’s your chance to win your own box of sunshine from Swizzels! I’m giving away a Retro Red Sweet Hamper 500g to celebrate Easter and spring finally arriving!
