It’s fun, thoughtful, and filled with treats everyone loves.
At Select Sweets, Melbourne’s favourite lolly shop, we make it easy to create a hamper that’s as unique and special as the person you’re gifting it to.
Why Lolly Hampers Are the Perfect Gift
Lolly hampers aren’t just gifts—they’re experiences. They bring joy, excitement, and a little indulgence.
Whether it’s for a birthday, holiday, or just because, a hamper filled with delicious sweets shows you’ve put thought into making someone’s day extra special.
At Select Sweets, we’ve been helping Melbourne sweet tooths craft the perfect hampers for over 45 years, so you know you’re in good hands.
Step 1: Start with a Theme
The best lolly hampers feel personal, so think about what the recipient loves. Are they a chocoholic, a fan of sour lollies, or someone who loves traditional sweets?
Choose a theme to guide your selection. For example:
Include Milk Chocolate Rocks, Milk Chocolate Peppermint Chews, and Licorice Bullets.
Add Sour Glo Worms, Sour Cola Bottles, and Zombie Chews.
Nostalgic Classics
Go for English Fruit Jellies, English Crystal Sour Lemon, and Candy Canes.
Step 2: Mix Textures and Flavours
A great hamper has a little bit of everything.
Combine chewy lollies like Raspberries Chews with hard candies like Sour Cherry Drops for variety. Add smooth and creamy options like Strawberries and Cream or sugar-free chocolate to balance the flavours.
This variety ensures every bite is a fun surprise!
Step 3: Add a Unique Touch
Want to make your hamper unforgettable? Include something special from Select Sweets that you won’t find anywhere else.
Treats like Watermelon Slices or Milk Chocolate Rocks add that wow factor, showing you went the extra mile.
Step 4: Presentation Matters
The way you present your hamper makes all the difference.
Choose a basket or box that fits the occasion, line it with tissue paper, and arrange the sweets neatly. Place taller items at the back and smaller treats at the front for a polished look.
Finish with a festive ribbon or bow for the perfect final touch.
Step 5: Visit Select Sweets for the Best Treats
