bigmac 97kt 13,811 Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 sugar mice , chocolate mice ,those round things with sprinkles on ,Bon bons , cola cubes/pineapple chunks. I used to love those little tool shaped chocolates the saw,hammer etc think they were 3 p? Could go In a shop with 10 p ,and come out clutching little white paper bag feeling like royalty . If you decide to go online put details up ,my missus loves old fashioned sweets we buy our autistic lad a hamper every chricstmas ,as always stuck for what to buy him, little basket fill with raffia or something shredded then few sweets shrink wrapped then knock them out £20-30 . We are doing an online shop for sure just not enough time at the moment I want my misses to hand her notice in at Christmas if it's doing ok by then she can then focus on it full time and she's great with websitesWe have ordered stuff to do hampers with sweets and smellys etc we want to do a monthly raffle for one with all proceeds going to local charity's SELL ON LINE TO ALONG WITH THE SHOP JUST A THOUGHT MIND GOOD LUCK WITH THE VENTURE . ANISEED TWISTS,,,RHUBARB AND CUSTARD ,,,CINDER TOFFEE ATVBMAC PS,,,THIS TIME NEXT YEAR YOU WILL BE MILLIONAIRES Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jonjon79 13,358 Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 I used to like Fizzy Dizzys - little round boiled sweets covered in a sour sugar. Aniseed balls and twists A proper old fashioned set of weighing scales would be good - I remember buying buying a quarter of aniseed balls on the way to school for 20p. The old lady used to spin the little papar bag round by the top corners to close it Good luck with the shop - I hope it does well Any thoughts on a name? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
