If you’ve ever hosted a children’s birthday party, you already know: the difference between chaos and calm is measured in grams of sugar. A well-chosen mix of kids party sweets isn’t just decoration; it’s diplomacy. Get it right and you’ve got thirty minutes of joy, laughter, and an Instagram moment that makes you look like you’ve got this parenting thing nailed. Get it wrong and, well… there’s always next year.

At Monmore Confectionery, we supply the sweets that make those moments possible — classic British favourites that look good on a table, taste even better, and can be ordered by the bag, box or tub to make life easy. Whether you’re a parent planning a birthday blowout or a shop owner stocking your shelves for the season, these are the crowd-pleasers that never miss.

Retro Sweets That Still Own the Room

Lion Wine Gums

Lion Wine Gums — firm, fruity, and defiantly grown-up for a kids’ party table. The classic chew that parents remember, still just as popular today.

Lion Fruit Salad

Lion Fruit Salad — colourful, fragrant, and generously sized at 2kg. Perfect for filling empty sweet jars, bowls, or party bags without breaking a sweat.

If you’re building your sweet selection from scratch, browse the full Lions Sweets range — a British confectionery institution that’s earned its place at every celebration. From bold fruit flavours to their distinctive chewy texture, they’re sweets that please both generations equally — the kids eat them for colour; the adults eat them for nostalgia.

Sweets with Personality (and Fragrance)

Not everything needs to be predictable. A good table needs contrast — texture, scent, and a few talking points. Enter Squirrel Cherry Lips. They’re sweet, perfumed, a little eccentric, and totally irresistible once you’ve had one. Right beside them, their mysterious cousin — Squirrel Floral Gums — delivers that classic rose-and-violet scent that divides opinion and sells brilliantly because of it. These aren’t just sweets; they’re conversation starters.

Explore the complete Squirrel Sweets collection for the perfect mix of character and charm. Every bag carries that retro handmade appeal — the kind of confectionery that gives your party table personality rather than plastic uniformity.

Smart Bulk Buying for Smart Parents

There’s a certain magic in watching a child’s face light up at the sight of a proper sweet table. But there’s also the grim reality of spending a small fortune on supermarket multipacks. Buying directly from a wholesaler like Monmore Confectionery isn’t just practical — it’s strategic. Our bulk bags of sweets (typically 2kg–3kg) save money, reduce packaging waste, and guarantee consistent stock of the retro sweets that guests actually recognise.

• Bulk Value: Save up to 40% compared with supermarket multipacks.
• Consistency: Same shape, same chew, every time — ideal for displays and party bags.
• Speed: Next-day delivery across the UK means you can prep the sweet table last-minute and still look like you planned it weeks ago.

It’s why event planners, parent groups and small business owners trust us for their sweet supplies — we make your life easier, your display brighter, and your guests happier. That’s the Monmore difference.

How to Build a Table Worth Photographing

You don’t need a professional stylist. All you need is variety, colour, and a few smart choices. A successful spread mixes chewy and crunchy, sweet and scented, retro and modern. Try pairing:

• Lions Football Gums — a fun, sporty addition for themed parties or table centrepieces.
• Floral Gums — delicate, fragrant, and a hit with parents who “just want to try one.”
• Fruit Salad Gums — colour, chew and joy in every handful.
• Cherry Lips — instant visual impact and flavour that lingers.

The secret? Layer them. Mix the retro with the recognisable. Put the colourful ones up front, keep the perfumed ones for intrigue, and never underestimate the power of a big clear jar with a metal scoop. It’s nostalgia by design — and yes, it sells.

For Retailers, Party Planners and Serious Sweet Lovers

While this guide may have started with a birthday in mind, the same principles apply to anyone selling or gifting sweets. Visual appeal and flavour range drive impulse purchases, and retro classics consistently outperform trendier newcomers.

Bulk sweets from Monmore don’t just look the part — they offer unbeatable value and turnover potential. Whether you’re filling jars in a shop window, building kids’ party favours, or supplying corporate events, our products are designed to deliver impact and profit with every scoop.
