All of our products are made and packed in an area containing NUTS, GLUTEN, SOYA, SULPHITES; Please get in touch via email or in the checkout notes if you have an allergen so we can make your order safe.

What are the best before dates / use by dates?

For the sweets we recommend eating them within a month if unsealed, our pouches are sealed and will last 6 months but we recommend 3 for freshness.

Our Eco Friendly Packaging

Using sustainable packaging is important to us so we wanted to make it clear what parts of our packaging you can recycle, compost etc : 

Pick & Mix Bags

Our Pick & Bags are paper so these are widely recycled and we only use paper stickers which can be recycled also! 

We also send these out in sugar cane mailing bags which are extremely eco friendly, carbon neutral and recyclable!

And for bigger orders we send these out in cardboard boxes packed with starch based peanut packaging which is 100% biodegradable !

Gift box 

Our gift box is widely recycled as we use plain cardboard with no print making them super eco!

The outer kraft paper we wrap our boxes in is widely recycled and the tissue paper inside our gift box is recycled

The baking paper we wrap the sweets in is fully compostable and made from responsible sources!

We use eco paper tape on all our packaging.

Gift Jars

Our gift jars and personalized gift jars are made from glass with metal lids ; both widely recycled and reused ! Our stickers and gift tags are always made from paper also!

Sweet Pouches

Our sweet pouches are made from cellulose and paper, these can be reused and are also compostable and again the sticker is paper.

So Recycle away and eat your sweets without packaging guilt !!

Packaging Fill 

We pack any orders that won't fit into our eco friendly mailing bags in boxes which need to be filled with fill, we use starch based loose fillings (peanuts) these are 100% eco friendly and 100% biodegradable, we also pack with recyclable and recycled paper

How eco friendly is your packaging?

We say no to plastic !!!

We strive to be as eco friendly as possible; none of our sweets are individually wrapped; we also use as many recycled & recyclable packaging materials as possible and look on improving this constantly.

We ship our products in mailing bags made from sugar cane & cardboard boxes and only use recyclable or compostable packaging.
