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!

Good Morning Blog fans!
The talk of the town today is bunting - who would have believed something so trivial could cause such ructions?
If you have been reading our recent blogs about the impending arrival of Le Tour de France in our North Yorkshire market town of Masham, then you will have read about the fabulous (tiny) knitted jerseys that have been strung up around the town as bunting.
Yesterday North Yorkshire County Council came and removed the bunting! Why? Because "We noticed that the lighting columns were leaning and in the interest of safety we asked for it to be taken down and not to be hung from lighting columns", a spokeperson from the Council has said.
Apparently, if the (tiny) knitted jerseys were to get wet the weight of them might pull the lamp post over. If you check out the link to BBC news you will see just how tiny these jerseys are, and you will also see one of the offending in the picture. Now if this is all it takes to make a lamp post lean enough to be a safety issue, then I would think that North Yorkshire County Council need to come and ensure that the posts are secured a little better.

We have also hit the local news on Stray FM!

Residents and businesses like ourselves now have the bunting strung up on our walls (let's hope these are slightly less likely to fall over than the lamp posts!!!)
Why don't you have a drive out to Masham this weekend and see for yourself?
Pop into Bah Humbugs and browse our shelves for your favourite sweets. Strawberries & Cream, Refresher Chews, loads of Liquorice, Sherbet Pips, scrumptious Toffees and delicious Fudge, a fantastic selection of hard boiled sweets.
Bah Humbugs Traditional Sweet Shop......... stocks all your favourite retro and traditional sweets so even if you can't get here you can browse our website and order your sweets online.
Visit the Masham Tour de France website if you're thinking of visiting for the event
http://www.mashamevents.co.uk/
Hello all you lovely Bah Humbugs fans out there! I thought I would share with you a picture of our lovely traditional sweet shop, nestled in our glorious Yorkshire Dales market town of Masham. We are all getting very excited about Le Tour de France travelling through Masham on 5th July and Ms Humbug has been busy decorating the shop front in celebration of Le Grand Party!
If you haven't already decided what you want to do when Le Tour visits Yorkshire then why not come to Masham. There is plenty of parking and there will be access in and out of some of the car parks all day despite the main road being closed for the race.
It promises to be a weekend to remember and Masham is certainly getting in the party spirit. There will be live music, bars, gift stalls, food stalls, big screens and much much more going on over the weekend so check out some of the following web sites to make your plan:
http://letour.yorkshire.com/
http://www.visitmasham.com/events/event/le-tour-yorkshire-through-masham/
http://www.mashamevents.co.uk/
http://www.mashamsportsassociation.co.uk/le-tour-masham/
While you're here pop in and browse our range of retro sweets, liquorice, sweet gifts, sweet hampers, boiled sweets and much more.
We look forward to seeing you!
If you could see our little market town of Masham right now it couldn't fail to bring a smile to your face. The excitement is building at a great speed and we still have three weeks before the epic race reaches our lovely Yorkshire Dales town.
Mini 'jerseys' in all the racing colours are strung up around the town and, as bunting goes, these are fabulous! We have flags flying, brightly coloured bicycles adorning shop fronts and all sorts of imaginative decorations put up by local businesses, making the town a very happy and jolly place to be. And the sun is shining which makes it all so much more pleasant for everyone.
Bah Humbugs has a bicycle with the King of the Mountain colours - white with red spots - which looks amazing about our doorway.
If you haven't yet decided where you want to be to watch Le Grand Depart then why not come to Masham? There are campsites, parking and access to and from the town all day via routes not affected by the race. There will be plenty of entertainment from the night before, throughout the day on Saturday and into Saturday evening. Food stalls, bars, gift stalls and much more to make everyone's visit and stay an exciting and fun filled day.
Bah Humbugs traditional sweet shop will be open as usual on the market square, and we will also have a sweet stand on the recreation ground amongst all the other happy stall holders.
Why not pick up some sweets to see you through the day? Something like Dandelion & Burdocks which are a delicious hard boiled sweet that really taste of the popular traditional retro drink. Or if you have a more classic taste in mind you could grab yourself a bag of Sherbet Lemons, a great zingy lemon flavour with that delicious fizz of sherbet.
You may well be in Masham all day so you could use your time wisely and do a little shopping for gifts and treats while you're here. Our Retro Sweets Hampers are always popular gifts, or perhaps you know someone who would like to receive a Best of British Jar, a Kilner jar packed full of traditional British hard boiled sweets.
You might just want to pop in for an ice cream and say hello.
Whatever you plan on doing for 5th July be sure to check out the routes and what's on. Try looking at Masham's Community Office web site, www.visitmasham.com or the Welcome to Yorkshire site www.yorkshire.com
Let's hope the sun shines and we all have a great day!

If you're one of the many people who've been left with a lingering sore throat or a tickly cough after the festive break then you could try something from the selection of throat sweets?
