Stockleys unveils new gifting offer

Stockleys unveils new gifting offer

Stockleys has unveiled its first tranche of new gifting offers with the eagerly anticipated arrival of its gift bottle of bubbles, by which we mean Salted Caramel Malt Balls AND the very latest incarnation of Stockley’s sublime Sweet Shop Collection.

Today the food & drinks needle is pointing increasingly towards heavily curated, healthier eating regimes in its various guises; from gluten-free, improved gut health, nootropics, through to low carb protein-rich, plant-based and organic. That shouldn’t mean however that there’s still not a little room in our lives for a few well-deserved timeouts, where equally important emotions like nostalgia, indulgence and relaxation come to the fore.


Stockley’s is a reinvigorated pioneer with the UK’s handcrafted sweets movement, a long-term member of our nation’s much-loved artisanal confectionery community whose story began back in 1918 when Malcom Stockley returned from the frontline in 1918 determined to bring a little sweet joy to a bleak, post-war landscape. Despite building an enviable ‘sweet treat’ reputation within confectionery spheres as diverse as hard-boiled sweets, buttery fudge and chocolate-coated treats; the simple truth remains that in the past, Stockley’s was happy to settle for the role of ‘behind the scenes’ provider to the UK’s discerning sweets fraternity.

According to Andy Valentine, Stockley’s Head of Marketing, ‘Whilst we’re proud of our hard-earned reputation for sweets excellence, we felt it was time that the public to put a name to the face, which is why this Autumn will see the arrival of some gifting and speciality offers where the Stockley’s name will sit loud, proud and centre!’

SALTED CARAMEL MALT BALLS: Light & crispy malt ball centres generously smothered in a salted caramel flavour blonde chocolate with a lustred finish that comes in a stylish reusable and recyclable champagne bottle (550g RRP £20)

SWEET SHOP COLLECTION: 8 timeless classics in our full-to-brimming giftable collection, showcasing such timeless classics as: Cola Drops (with chewy centres), Pear Drops, Lemon Sherbets, Chocolate Limes, Mint Humbugs, Chocolate Butter Fudge, Caramel Fudge and dreamy Berries & Cream (720g RRP £20)
