ARE YOUR SWEETS JUST FOR VEGANS?

Nope! I'm yet to find one non-vegan who doesn't like our sweets - most people say they actually prefer them.

Don't take our word for it, try them yourself!

HOW LONG DO THE SWEETS KEEP FOR?

We recommend eating your sweets within 4 weeks of purchase for maximum freshness and taste but they keep for a long time and have a long shelf life of over 12 months.

Our sweets are heat sealed to ensure they are kept as fresh as possible from packing to arriving with you.

By keeping them in an air tight container or our eco-jars, they'll be fresh and won't go hard or stale.

Yes! Definitely. Everyone loves pick & mix & we offer something for everyone.

All our sweet boxes come beautifully packaged in our bespoke boxes.

We also offer handwritten gift notes to accompany any gift.

We don't include invoices either 😊

HOW LONG DOES SHIPPING TAKE?

Our sweets are personally hand packed by us so dispatch times can be 3-5 working days from ordering if placed before 12pm.

We aim to process each order as soon as we can and you’ll receive a dispatch email within 24 hours of it being dispatched.

We typically get orders out within 2 days of the order coming in, but this will depend on our cut off times and how busy we are.

If you require something urgently, please email us and we’ll do our best to help. 1st class is a 24 hour service so typically arrives 1 working day after dispatch. 2nd class takes 2-3 working days.

Please note the lead times are still 3-5 working days regardless of which shipping option you choose.

DO YOU SHIP INTERNATIONALLY?

Yes, we ship worldwide tracked and the cost of shipping to another country will calculate at checkout depending where and how heavy the parcel is.

MY SHIPPING ADDRESS IS WRONG WHAT DO I DO?

If you notice you've put the wrong shipping address on, please notify us immediately so we can change it before processing your order.

We do not check addresses. Every order that comes in is automatically processed so if there is an error that isn't picked up by you, it may be sent and returned to us.

We will send this back out however you'll have to pay the shipping costs again if it's a customer error. If you decide to ask for a refund, the original shipping cost will be deducted.

Sustainability FAQs

Sustainability

ARE YOU PLASTIC FREE?

We're not completely plastic free, we're working towards it though!

However we're proud to say there's no single use plastic here. We aim to be as sustainable and eco-friendly as possible and limit the amount of plastic we use.

Everything we send out to you is either recyclable, compostable, biodegradable and reusable. 

We also reuse packaging that's sent to us by our suppliers to avoid wastage. We never buy unsustainable packaging - ever.

We also offer our glass eco-jar which can be reused over and over again.

If you have any questions about anything we haven't covered, please reach out to us, we're always open to hearing new ideas and suggestions!

WHAT ARE YOUR SWEET BOXES MADE OF?

Our boxes are made from recycled cardboard and can be fully recycled. They're so well made that we encourage you to reuse them for storage.

HOW DO YOU PRACTICE SUSTAINABILITY?

We all about making as little impact on the planet as we can, that's why we're always looking into how we can make things better.

Not just in our packaging that we send out to you but our internal practices too. Within the food industry, there is so much single use waste.

Gloves are a big factor, many are not even recyclable. We use gloves made from renewable sugarcane plant waste which can be recycled.

We also keep hold of any 'floor sweets' for photography to avoid food waste and once food is at the end of its life, we home compost it.
