Dreaming of the nostalgic charm of an old-fashioned sweet shop filled with jars of colourful confections? Creating your own vintage sweet shop at home is a delightful idea, whether you're planning a special event or simply indulging your sweet tooth. Follow our step-by-step guide to transform your space into a candy wonderland.
Step 1: Choose the Perfect Sweets
To capture the true essence of a vintage sweet shop, select a variety of classic sweets that will evoke fond childhood memories. Start by exploring the Retro Packet Sweets collection for a wide array of traditional treats.
Consider adding unique sweets like the Wham Flash & Dip Pop, guaranteed to tantalise with its fizzy fun. Another popular choice is the Brain Licker, which is sure to excite both children and adults with its sour, tongue-tingling experience.
Step 2: Select Delightful Displays
Presentation is key in a sweet shop. Arrange your treats in glass jars or vintage-style containers to create a charming display. Group sweets by colour or theme for a visually appealing assortment that invites exploration. You can even label each jar with handwritten tags for an authentic touch.
Step 3: Add Themed Extras
Enhance the vintage feel by including additional themed items. Pop on some retro tunes, and if you really want to set the scene, consider incorporating items from the OLD FASHIONED SWEETS (by Weight) collection to mimic the quintessential sweet shop atmosphere.
Step 4: Create a Sweet Station
Dedicate a small area of your home to your sweet shop station. This could be a section of your kitchen, living room, or even a garden setup if you're hosting a party. Encourage guests to fill a goody bag with their favourite selections, making it an interactive and memorable experience for all.
Step 5: Include Fizzy Delights
Drinks can be just as much a part of the sweet shop experience as the sweets themselves. Consider adding a selection of fizzy drinks to your setup. The BARR DRINKS collection offers a variety of refreshing and classic flavours, perfect for washing down those sugary treats.
Step 6: Sweeten the Experience with Gifts
Finally, don't forget to send guests home with a little extra sweetness. The Strawberry Super Sour Gift Set is a perfect choice for a parting gift, leaving them with a lasting memory of your vintage creation.
