Chewbz Retro Sweets Blog - The place to chat about Retro Sweets, Chewbz & Sweet Hampers!

Speaking of going back to school, here’s a little reminder of trips to the Tuck Shop.

Which were your favourites?

Ah September. It always reminds of school uniform shopping, new pencil cases, and most importantly, trips to the tuck shop.

Even though we all left school a very, very long time ago, there’s still something exciting about September.

In celebration of back to school time, why not relive those tuck shop memories with some of our lovely retro sweets!

This Tuck Shop Sweet Jar is just the thing to remind you of break times spent at the Tuck shop. Plus there’s enough sweets to last you the whole term!

Or choose one of our Sweetshop Chewbz, jam packed with Cola Bottles, Fried Eggs, Giant Banana’s and Flying Saucers, and reminisce back to the days of penny sweets and Saturday pick-n-mix trips.

So go on, treat yourself to some nostalgia this September.

Or if you know a little someone who is headed back to school, then surprise them when they get off the school bus, with some yummy Chewbz delights!

The other week it was Christmas, now we’re thinking about Valentines Day here at Chewbz!

Looking at Love Hearts, Pink Bon Boms, Strawberry Wham Bars, Heart Shaped Lollies and all things lovely-dovey has certainly distracted us from this miserable weather.

What kind of retro sweets do you think are Valentine’s appropriate?

Do let us know which sweets you’d give to your sweetheart

Here’s some lovely pictures to brighten up your rainy morning…

On Wednesday, we packed our Sunshine Bus full of sweets and headed over to Lightbox Digital Studios, for a retro sweets photoshoot!

Afternoon retro sweets fans!

It’s all go here at Chewbz.

After a weekend of manoeuvring sweets, on Monday we packed up and moved into our swish new office!

Then yesterday we welcomed our newest addition, Henry, to the team!

And today we all got stuck into a special retro sweets photoshoot, in aid of our exciting new corporate range.

A big thank you to our lovely photographer Antony, from Lightbox Digital Studios. Apart from being amazing at picture-taking, he also did a great job trying to get all of the Jelly Babies to pose (before gobbling all of their heads off)!

Keep a lookout on our blog over the next few days for some exclusive pic’s from the shoot.

So hello Henry, hello lovely new office and thank you Antony!

We’ve been busy busy this week at Chewbz HQ!

Orders really have been flooding in, so our warehouse guys have been lovingly making up lots of Chewbz, Jars, Gift Boxes and Hampers. All ready to be sent out, and provide you with some Retro Sweet yumminess!

Our poor Postie has been weighed down with all the packages going out, and It looks like he’ll be busy today too!

We’ll be sure to thank him with some Fried Eggs and Cola Bottles :)

Have you ordered any of our Retro Sweet goodies recently?

All of your August bubble blowing attempts have been really brightening up our days here in the Chewbz office.

Here’s one entry that’s especially delighted us this Monday morning:

Now, we’re certainly amazed at Joe’s amazing bubble blowing skills!

We are, however, going to have to check with our official bubble blowing adjudicator. We’re a little concerned about the authenticity of Joe’s entry

What do you think of this attempt?

If you think you can blow a bigger bubble, then enter our August bubble blowing competition today!

Thanks again Joe for sending in your lovely picture

You’re all really loving our Hampers and Jars at the mo, so we’ve been busily making them up for you in the Chewbz warehouse!

Here’s some we made earlier:

Here’s some exciting news for all you Jedward fans out there (!)…

The duo are set to bring out their own range of sweets, inspired by their quiff’s!

Here at Chewbz, a certain Jedward-loving member of staff (who unfortunately also controls our office playlist!), was especially delighted by this breaking news!

Now, don’t say we don’t spoil you with quality facts

Here’s a challenge to brighten up your Monday blues…

The Guinness World Record for the biggest bubblegum bubble ever blown is currently a huge 20-inches!

Think you could beat that?

We’d love to see your bubble blowing attempts, so send your name and postal address to info@chewbz.com and we’ll provide the gum!

Just make sure you send some pics our way, for a chance to feature on the Chewbz blog!

We’re off to grab the Anglo Bubbly…

P.S We won’t be held responsible for any bubblegum-stuck-in-hair situations!
