How to Make a Father’s Day Sweet Hamper He’ll Actually Want to Eat

Forget the novelty socks. Ditch the branded mug. This Father’s Day, give the old man something he’ll genuinely thank you for—sweets. Specifically, a handpicked, beautifully presented, entirely edible Father’s Day sweet hamper filled with his favourites. And no, you don’t need to be crafty or possess the dexterity of a chocolatier to pull it off. You just need a plan, a few key pieces from Monmore Confectionery, and a touch of sweet-loving intuition.

Step 1: Choose Your Sweet Hamper Base

You can’t build a house without bricks—and you can’t build a hamper without something to put it in. We recommend one of our empty sweet jars for a sleek, retro-inspired look. Prefer a more segmented display? Our 8-section sweet platters are perfect for variety and visual wow factor—ideal if Dad’s sweet tooth is unpredictable.

Step 2: Pick the Sweets He’ll Love

This is where the fun starts. Raid our legendary selection of 1kg sweets for maximum value and variety. Is he into the retro classics? Think Swizzels, Love Hearts, and boiled sweets.

Want to wow him with something bold and trending? Try the Candycrave Vegan Fizzy Ice Lollies—they’ve sold out before, and for good reason.

• For the nostalgic Dad: Candycrave White Hearts, Cough Candy
• For the fun Dad: Vidal Jelly Brains, Sweetzone Cherry Pencils
• For the chocoholic Dad: Cadbury Chocolate, Chocolate Nibbles

Step 3: Build It Beautifully

This isn’t a tip jar—it’s a gift. So layer your sweets by colour, type, or flavour to create something that looks as good as it tastes. The nibble platter lets you create eight segments—ideal for showing off fizzy belts, jelly worms, liquorice pieces, and soft-centred lollies side by side.

Step 4: Add Finishing Touches

Once you’ve packed your sweets into jars or platters, it’s time for the final touches. Tie a ribbon around the jar, slap on a cheeky tag (“Hands off—Dad’s stash”) and wrap it in cellophane if you’re feeling fancy. The result? A Father’s Day hamper that’s affordable, personal, and absolutely guaranteed not to be regifted.
