Retro sweet of the week

March 26th, 2012

With the long weekend just around the corner (yay!), this week we thought we’d offer you a little retro gift that would make the perfect Easter treat!

One of the newest items over at chewbz.com, we’ve become a little obsessed with these since they arrived at our retro sweet warehouse.

Sweet Shop

Yep, this week you could WIN one of these adorable Sweet Shop Selection Boxes! How cool are these?!

Each one comes stuffed with a Sherbet Fountain, Dip Dab, Flump, Black Jacks and Fruit Salads, Dolly Mixtures plus loads more. The best thing about these though, is that they also contain paper money, coins and even a paper debit card!

So you could set up shop at your desk and sell to your sweetest colleagues, or put a sugary smile on the whole family’s face this Easter.

Fancy getting your sticky fingers on one of these?
To be in with the chance of winning, leave a comment on this post and let us know what you would do with your little sweet shop. Would you set up shop or give one away as an extra sweet Easter treat?

The competition will close at 9am next Monday, the 2nd April. Our favourite comment wins (as voted by Chewz HQ).

Best of luck retro sweet fans!

***WINNERS***

Wow, all your comments were great this week!
Each one made us smile loads and loads :) .

We finally managed to choose two winners though, and our absolute favourite comments came from…

Sarah-Jane Laycock and Jade.

Congratulations guys, both your mini sweetshop’s were sent with our Postie yesterday. Enjoy setting up shop!

    my niece would be over the moon if i won this for her. She is always pretending to be a shop keeper and she usually clears out her mums food cupboard to stock up her pop up shop in the living room. I have to go round buying baked beans and potatoes and squashed loaves of bread off of her, until her mum decides she needs the food back in time for tea :) . the sweet shop would be a lot more fun though x

    Sad as it may sound, I’d actually set up shop and make my hubby be the customer! I always wanted a toy sweet shop as a kid, but mum always felt they were a waste of money so i had to make do with using old cereal boxes etc to play shop with (not a sweetie in sight)! I’ll be 40 later this you, so give me a chance to be a big kid again, before I hit another of those milestones at which everyone expects you to have ‘grown up’ – not that that will ever happen!!!

    I would give it the Scottish Spina Bifida Association’s family support centre in Cumbernauld. I’m an adult user of the charity, but I’m sure the kiddies would like playing with it. :o )

  10. When I was little I used to sit at a bench in the garden and sell
    sweets to my family. Dolly Mixtures etc… These are the
    Expensive sweets that they don’t sell at the shop at the top of the road. My mum hardly ever
    Eats sweets and she loves dolly mixtures so I think
    that huge bag would do her good!

    Well I think if I won this amazing little shop I would have to keep it and then on easter sunday I would open the shop and give the money to my kids n hubby and let themcome and buy their favourite sweeties. Of course perks of the job would be that I could have a taster aswell.

    I would give it to my twin boys as they love playing shop, and it would give them a good lesson in sharing, but on the understanding I will be the customer :-@

    Massive memories of the sweets that I enjoyed as a child. These would make a brilliant alternative to chocolate at Easter. my kids would love them and, if I am honest, mum would really love to receive this gift too ;-)
