You can buy pick and mix online at sweeties.net. The homepage is the shop itself: you choose your sweets, add them by the 100 g, and watch your bag fill up and grow as you go.
How it works
- By the 100 g. Every sweet is sold in 100 g steps, and each has its own price per 100 g. You might take a kilo of one sweet and nothing else, or 100 g each of ten different sweets.
- Milestones. As your mix gets heavier, it passes weight milestones, and at each one the shop shows the delivery price for that weight.
- Delivery. Orders up to 2 kg cost £3.99 to send, by Royal Mail 48. Heavier orders are priced at Royal Mail's own rates.
- Checking out. When your mix is ready, you pay for it at the checkout like any other online order.

Allergens first
Pick and mix is loose food, and loose sweets can pick up traces of each other from shared scoops and tubs: see pick and mix and allergies
At sweeties.net, every sweet has a card that opens up like an ingredients panel, so you can check the full ingredients and the allergens before you add it to your bag.
That matters because of the law. When loose food is sold at a distance, online or by phone, the allergen information must be available before the purchase is made, and again at the moment of delivery. If an online sweet shop does not show you the allergens before you pay, ask, and do not guess: see how to read a sweet label
Weight and price
Loose sweets are sold by weight, which is why the price is shown per 100 g: see why is pick and mix sold by weight? For larger amounts, see where to buy sweets by the kilo
For shops and events
If you want to sell pick and mix yourself, our trade section sells every sweet in 3 kg bulk bags, with the stands, tubs and scoops to go with them: see where to buy wholesale pick and mix
