Paddington Bear Fruity Vegan Gummy Sweets Gift Tin - 120g

Paddington sits with the things a British childhood is built on: the books on the bedroom shelf, the marmalade sandwich kept under the hat, the London station that shares his name. A tin of sweets with him on it belongs in the same drawer as all that.

People go looking for this when there is a small person to impress, or a big person who misses home. Grandparents in Britain used to post these over. Now you can skip the postage, the customs form and the fretting about whether it arrived.

It is a 120g tin of fruity gummy sweets, sturdy enough to travel and happy to sit in the cupboard until somebody finds it. Once the gummies are gone, the tin carries on as a home for crayons, hair bobbles or the spare key nobody can ever find.

It goes nicely in a parcel with a box of proper British tea, a jar of marmalade (he would insist) or a Paddington book for a birthday. Small, cheerful, and it says "I thought of you" without anybody having to say it out loud.
