Christmas is always a very busy time in Bah Humbugs, all our elves are busy packing up hampers and preparing parcels to send off to Father Christmas.

My youngest Humbug will be two in December and the night he was born i was busy placing an order online with one of my large wholesalers from my hospital bed - it's hard to get time off at such a hectic time of year!

Anyhow.... i've digressed there! For small independent businesses the endorsement from major National Magazines and Newspapers can lead to a huge surge in orders and really helps to boost our sales. We're delighted to see that our Best Selling Retro Sweet Hamper is featured in this month's WOMAN & HOME MAGAZINE in their BEST EVER GIFTS SECTION. So just in case you were un-decided about our wonderful Hampers, this is a pretty good endorsement.

Our Bah Humbugs Sweet Hampers are completely our own creation, they aren't sold in any supermarkets so you won't find them on the shelves of other retailers. This weekend we had a customer in the shop who was convinced that she'd bought one from Tesco's but that just isn't possible. These hampers are all lovingly created by The Bah Humbugs Team in our Sweet Shop in Yorkshire - we promise you that!

Woman & Home December 2014 - Best Ever Gifts

Hi fellow sweet lovers

Today I'm looking at Lion's sweets.  Do you all remember them?  Way before I came to join the team at Bah Humbugs I had realised that Lion sweets held a place in the heart of so many people and that everyone has their particular favourite.  In fact, at one point in my life I 'typed' my work colleagues by what I thought would be their favourites.  For example 'H' was a Mr Sports Mixture, 'S' was a Miss Fruit Pastille, 'L' was Lady Licorice Gums!  I'm not sure I was always right, but it was fun at the time.

Lion Sweets have been manufactured since 1903, and they have retained their reputation for quality and taste. These gum sweets are still made at the original factory in Cleckheaton, which is a great bonus for our Traditional Yorkshire Sweet Shop to be able have such an iconic brand made so close to home.

If you haven't already decided which are your favourites (which I very much doubt!), then let me remind you of the Lion Range.

Lion's Midget Gems

Perhaps the top sellers are the delicious Lion's Midget Gems, a selection of fruit flavours, hard and chewy and with the original Licorice Gums still included.

Lion's Sports Mixture

Lion's Sports Mixture is another firm favourite with it sports shaped hard gums packing a punch with their fruity flavours, and again including the Licorice Gums.

Lion's Fruit Salad

Next up we have the delicious Lion's Fruit Salad, hard gums shaped as fruit to correspond to their flavour.  Chewy, fruity and incredibly moreish!

Lion's Fruit Pastilles

If I still haven't got to your favourite, maybe you're a Lion's Fruit Pastilles person?  Fruit shaped again but these are sugar coated and, once more, deliciously chewy and bursting with flavour.

Lion's Wine Gums

Lion's Wine Gums might be your thing?  Geometric shaped sweets which are stamped with 'wine', 'claret', 'rum', 'port', and which, as a child, I thought were truly naughty sweets to eat! Hard gums bursting with flavour.

Lion's Liquorice Gums

And now for what I consider the hardcore devotees to Lion's sweets class as their favourites.  We have Lion's Licorice Gums, although included in some of the other mixtures these are sought after on their own and are extremely popular.

Lion's Poor Bens

And the final two are of course, Lion's Poor Bens, a mix of liquorice and aniseed flavour in a delicious chewy hard gum, and Lion's Butterscotch Gums, sweet and buttery whilst also hard and chewy - a great combination!

Lion's Butterscotch Gums

I hope I have triggered a few nostalgic memories for you and perhaps given you some gift idea's for those Lion's lovers in your life.  You can find all the range on the shelves of our traditional sweet shop, in our sweet shop online, and the complete range makes up our Lion's Sweet Hamper, a great gift for Christmas, birthdays, or just to give because you can!
