The Best Pick & Mix Sweets to Gift This Easter

Easter is just around the corner, and if you're looking for something a bit more personal than a mass-produced chocolate egg, a custom pick & mix selection from Maggie's Sweet Shop is the perfect gift. Here's how to build the ultimate Easter sweet hamper — and which sweets to include.

Why Pick & Mix Makes a Better Easter Gift

Unlike a standard chocolate Easter egg, a pick & mix selection can be completely personalised. You can tailor it to someone's exact tastes — all fizzy, all chocolatey, all retro classics, or a mix of everything. It's thoughtful, fun, and genuinely delicious.

The Best Sweets for an Easter Pick & Mix

Fried Eggs — A pick & mix essential. These soft jelly sweets are sunny-side up in flavour and perfect for Easter. Fizzy Peaches — A fruity, tangy crowd-pleaser that adds a zing to any selection. Milk Bottles — Creamy, soft, and irresistible — milk bottle sweets are loved by kids and adults alike. White Mice — These soft, vanilla-flavoured jelly mice are an Easter classic. Jelly Beans — Colourful, fruity, and endlessly snackable — jelly beans scream springtime. Chocolate Peanuts — For the chocolate lovers in your life, milk chocolate-coated peanuts are a must.

How to Build Your Easter Sweet Hamper

Start with a base of 3–4 classic favourites, then add 2–3 novelty or seasonal picks. A 500g bag gives you a generous mix for one person, while a 1kg selection makes a brilliant family Easter treat. Add a handwritten note and you've got a truly special gift.
