Yummy, yummy, yummy I’ve got love in my tummy and it feels like… refresher bars? We think some of the greatest gifts of all time are the ones which remind you of the past and taste like happy memories. So this article is utterly dedicated to things that are yummy for your tummy!

There are lots of things that spark funny memories, for example I remember being little and always thinking the smell of the Sunday roast at my grandmother’s house on a Sunday afternoon was magical. It was far better the smell than my mother’s Sunday dinner efforts. Whenever I get a waft of rosemary encrusted lamb I go a little weak at the knees, despite having since become a vegetarian!

Your tummy is a powerful thing and the memories which a person’s sense of smell and taste trigger can be potent and uplifting. If you eat the right thing at the right time, it can send you Brand Viagra spinning in to a happy mood, or if you’re feeling down the right treat can really cheer you up.

Memories
So, it stands to reason if you’re thinking of getting someone a gift (which of course you will buy to make them happy) you consider getting gifts that taste delicious and make them smile. For that reason, we recommend gifts that are all about retro sweets such as hampers and jam-packed jars. Those old smells, textures and flavours of retro sweets can really jog a person’s memory!

The simplicity and fun of school, the noises and the clatter in the classrooms, all these things can get conjured up by sucking on the right retro sweets and it can be nice to take a trip down memory lane. Meaningful gifts will always go one step further than making the recipient laugh or smile, they’ll be truly pleasurable.

That’s why bubble baths and chocolates are so popular (and boring!) It’s because pleasure is the name of the game, you want to make your loved ones go ‘Mmmmm.’ So, retro sweets are a smart choice. They’re not just yummy though, they’re kind of hip and trendy too.

Yummy Treats

Everyone has favourite retro sweets. I’m a fruit salad girl but growing up my brother was always a big fan of sherbert saucers and I seem to remember a friend loving those foam shrimps. The great thing about retro sweets in jars and hampers is that you get a selection so your friends can always find something that tickles their fancy (and they’re pretty likely to share the rest!)

In my household growing up whenever anyone got a box of chocolates as a gift there were always some that they didn’t like. Invariably I would turn my nose up at the coffee creams, which my brother loved. My brother would push away the orange centres which my mum was partial to and I would steal their pralines when they weren’t looking. The same thing happens with retro sweets; so if you have a family or a group of friends to buy a present for and you want to get something more original than a box of chocolates it can be great to see people dig in to their favourite retro sweets and offer each other the ones which are not up their street.

Fun Ideas
There is also another perk to giving people retro sweets and that’s customisation. You see, jars of retro sweets can be personalised with a specially printed label. On the label you can add a name and a short message. So for example, if you were buying a jar of retro sweets for a neighbouring family you could add the family name and a few cute words or if you were buying it for workmates you could add nicknames, an in-joke or even refer to a fun project you worked on as a team.

Personalised touches such as printed labels can really add an element of class to a simple gift and once all the sweets have been eaten the container jar can be used to store office supplies or even restocked with more sweeties! We think that retro sweet jars look fab on a desk and if you know someone who works really hard on a computer then sweets can be a great way to give them a little ‘pick-me-up’ or burst of energy to spur their work along.

We think that some of the best gifts you can get your friends and family are yummy for your tummy! They’re presents that will delight and excite. They’ll make your loved ones drool and declare: “Oh no, these things are too addictive,” while they dig in for more!
