The Best Valentine's Day Confectionery
It’s impossible to ignore Valentine’s Day. The celebration of love is honoured around the world as people shower their nearest and dearest with gifts to show just how much they care! With the day itself being one of indulgence, shoppers often buy themed chocolates and sweets for their significant other.
Therefore, it brings a commercial opportunity with gift boxes, pre-made pick n mixes and themed confectionery all in high demand. Here at Hancocks, we have everything you need to stay stocked up for the Valentine’s Day surge – these are some of our top picks for this year.
Loved Up Pick n Mix
There are plenty of love-themed pick and mix sweets that may well be in your arsenal all year round. But this time of year, there are even more options available! This means it’s easy to put on a Valentine’s specific section in your pick n mix offering.
In such mixes, there will obviously be a lot of similar shapes, so it’s important to offer variety with different kinds and flavours of sweets. Full of love, Barratt Jelly Love Hearts are a welcome addition. Kingsway Juicy Red Lips are also ideal. Both Red and Silver Foiled Milk Chocolate Hearts add a taste of chocolate, whilst Pink & White Mini Heart Mallows. Their 3D Sugared Hearts add vibrant colours and irresistible texture that appeals to all ages.
Once you’ve settled on your picks, you don’t have to just add them to your shelves, either. With a few simple accessories, you can turn your wholesale sweets into bespoke pick n mix presents! Just a little effort you can offer sweet, personalised gifts—and returns that you'll love.
Gorgeous Gifts
Given the nature of the holiday, gift boxes, bumper bars and selection trays are very popular for Valentine’s Day. And we have a brilliant selection of them here at Hancocks.
Cadbury chocolate is the go-to for many shoppers, with classics like Milk Tray and Roses always in demand. With a strong following, the bumper Dairy Milk bars are great chocolate gifts, too. There are a wide variety on offer, with jaw-dropping collaborations—including Oreo and Biscoff (given the success of this collaboration last year, and the new Biscoff Chocolate Egg, we expect this to be really popular)!
Another chocolate which always makes a lovely gift, the Lindt Lindor truffles will always be met with a smile. With a wide range of flavours, there is a version of the luxuriously smooth truffles for everyone. You can't go wrong by offering the classic Lindor Milk Chocolate Truffles, whilst the Lindor Double Chocolate Truffles may be the pick for chocoholics, with their classic milk chocolate shell surrounding a rich dark chocolate centre. All versions of Lindor make wonderful gifts, with the Orange and White Chocolate cartons popular choices.
With its rich depth and bitter edge, dark chocolate is something to be adored. For fans of the tart treat, the Nestle Black Magic Classic Gift Box is a winning choice. Containing 18 dark chocolates, there is plenty of magic to get excited about!
When it comes to letting someone know that they’re special, the Bonds You're Eggstra Special Pun Boxes are the best way to do it. With each case containing 12 boxes, they'll brighten up any shelf. There are also Love You More Than Pizza and Hearts & Kisses Pun Boxes, which use the same great recipe of delicious sweets and a pun slogan that is sure to coax a smile from anyone!
