In this blog, our team of experts will give the low down on the top five occasions which are perfect for sweet hampers or chocolate gift hampers.

  • Birthday party
  • Birthday parties wouldn’t be the same without plenty of sweet treats for all the guests. So why not let everyone dig in to a sweet hamper or a chocolate hamper which is fit to burst with goodies.

    Making the perfect centrepiece for the party spread, pop the hamper next to the birthday cake and let people help themselves to all the treats that can be found inside it. From pick ‘n’ mix favourites and lollipops, through to Wham bars and Refresher bars, sweet hampers literally have something for everyone!

    And if your birthday party has a theme, why not take a look at our range of retro sweet hampers. Whether you’re partying like it’s the 1970s, 1980s, or 1990s, the Sweet Hamper Company has a range of sweet hampers which contain all the top sweets, chocolate and confectionery from decades gone by.



  • Hen party / Stag do 
  • Give the hen or the stag one last hurrah with a sweet hamper or chocolate hamper which is chock-a-block with the good stuff. The whole party can enjoy a slice of the action, no matter where you’re celebrating. If you’re creating your own DIY sweet hampers, you could even fill the hamper with a few naughty treats or bottles of alcohol to really get the party started!

    Ideal if you’ve rented out a holiday home, these hampers can be picked at throughout the party… and could be that much needed sugar pick-me-up the following morning!



  • Long distance celebrations
  • As a result of the Coronavirus pandemic, we’ve all had to become used to not seeing loved ones or family members as much as we’d like to. This is particularly hard at special occasions such as birthdays. However, if you’re unable to be with a loved one sending a personalised sweet hamper or chocolate hamper could be the perfect way of showing them how much you care. Special occasions could be anything from a birthday or Christmas, through to Valentines Day, Mother’s Day or Father’s Day… the choice is yours.



  • Weddings
  • Forget the standard sweet cart. Why not have a hamper of goodies on each of the wedding reception tables for the guests to enjoy as an after dinner treat! Sweet hampers filled with bags of pick ‘n’ mix could make a fantastic alternative to wedding favours - and will be enjoyed by the kids and the big kids in attendance.



  • New home gift
  • A hamper chock full of goodies could be a scrummy way to celebrate moving into a new home. Not only can the recipient enjoy all the delicious sweets, chocolates and confectionery contained inside it, they also get a beautiful wicker hamper to store things in their new house. The gift that keeps on giving we’d say...
