My Brilliant Weekend

A Quarter Of sells fantastic retro sweets and other delicious treats. Naturally they’ve got a super range for Christmas, much of which comes in great gift boxes. It’s a great way to solve your present problems - and definitely to treat yourself as well. So what’s on offer?

• Decade Boxes. The folks at A Quarter Of have been hard at work tracking down the sweets that were around in the 50s, 60s and 70s for the perfect nostalgic gift. There’s a gift box for each decade containing the cream of the crop. Those they still make, that is. Don’t worry, they’re not actually trying to sell you 40-year-old sweets…
• Authentic Turkish Delight. The retailers are so impressed with this it’s a wonder they’re selling it and not just eating it themselves. Sourced direct from Turkey it comes in all sorts of wonderful flavours including lemon, hazelnut, pistachio, coconut and chocolate. As well as Turkish Delight you can sample Pasha Delight, Sultan Delight or Rolls with each coming in an elaborate gift box.
• Fabulous Fudge. When someone promises you this, they had better be right. And A Quarter of are very, very picky about their fudge, so if they say it’s fabulous, yu’d better believe it. They say: “We’ve been trying to get this particular fudge maker to supply us for ages… and finally we’ve managed it. And when you taste it you’ll know why we were so keen.” Flavours include Vanilla Pod, Maple and Walnut, Heavenly Chocolate and, wait for it, Chilli Chocolate. It comes gift boxed in stripy boxes.
• Christmas Stockings. This retailer’s success story of the year. Made specially, and crammed full of the best retro and seasonal sweets ever, they come in a limited edition so you’ll have to be quick.
• Wooden Boxes of Festive Fun Small, medium and large wooden boxes jam-packed with the best mix of seasonal and retro Sweets imaginable from little foil-wrapped chocolate santas, snowmen and Christmas puddings to fizzy cola bottles, chocolate champagne bottles and drumsticks… sweet heaven!
