AD – Gifted. Panda sweets kindly sent these sweet treats to review but all views are my own.
Why am I sharing 5 ways to wrap up summer with Panda sweets when I should in fact be clinging on to the final days of the summer right? Well, I have a confession to make… My name is Claire and I am a sweet-a-holic! Worse than that, I am a sweet tooth fiend who has 4 months until she has to fit her sizeable bottom in to a wedding dress!
So when Panda Sweets contacted me to review their 1KG pick n mix sweet box, the sugar-rushed child in me did a little happy dance. In reality though, I knew I was not going to sabotage my hard work by eating 1kg of sweets alone. Believe me when I say I probably could though!
So to really give these amazing treats the review they deserved, it was time for some fun with the whole family and to enjoy the last few weeks of the summer holidays.
All about Panda sweets
An online heaven for all sweet fans, full of traditional and retro sweets, Panda Sweets will keep the whole family happy. With 600 varieties available, there is something for everyone.
Sweets can be bought by weight from 100g to 1kg or in a small or large Victorian jars, these would make a great gift. The website is easy to navigate and you’re able to choose your favourites by sweet type, colour, flavour or brand.
As well as buying by weight, they have plenty of pick n mix boxes to chose from. Again catering for all with Fizzy, gummy, vegan, halal and even dairy free mixes available.
I wasn’t sure what to expect in terms of how they would arrive but my 1kg box arrived as a sealed bag in the pick n mix box and packed in to a sturdy delivery box. It was delivered via royal mail and arrived within a few days.
It’s a perfect treat for all! But how can you wrap up summer with Panda sweets?
5 ways to wrap up Summer with Panda sweets
Movie night
The last few days of the holidays for me as some one who works in a school are all about the chill vibes. Summer can be so full on and I want to go back to work feeling well rested. That’s why Panda sweets are the perfect addition to a night in front of the TV.
Holiday time
Long journey ahead of you? Noisy children who need a distraction? Then sharing out your pick n mix is the perfect way to bribe encourage the children to stop asking ‘Are we nearly there yet?’
You just need to hope they have somewhere to run off the sugar high when you arrive though!
Games night
We love to play games in our house and we can be quite competitive… These sweets make a great mini prize between each game. If you like to encourage a little low-key gambling among your children then you can really raise the stakes with these. Save the pennies and use sweets instead.
Family picnic
Being outdoors is a perfect time to enjoy sweets. You can fill the kids up and watch them go! Plus a final day out in the sunshine (fingers crossed for some sun soon!) is a great way to end the holidays. A final adventure somewhere new before heading back to school. It is one of the simplest things we can do with our children and they love it.
Play fluffy bunnies
OK honestly, this is a year round activity for us but this silly game is just the sort of thing kids LOVE. If you don’t know what I am on about, let me fill you in. The idea is to see how many marshmallows you can fit in your mouth while still being able to say ‘FLUFFY BUNNIES’ without showering the children in marshmallow!
It always has hilarious consequences for us, but is something the kids always talk about and I think summer is all about creating memories. Believe me, if you’ve not tried it, give it a go. They will be talking about it for ages!
