Quality Steet Is Letting People Create Their Own Tins

Quality Steet Is Letting People Create Their Own Tins

Now England are out the World Cup and the sun has seemingly gone into hiding, is it still too early to say the C-word?

Surely not, because Christmas is only 165 short days away, guys, and Quality Street has joined forces with John Lewis to solve one of the festive period's biggest annoyances by letting customers pick their own sweets to make up the ultimate tin.

About bloody time, if you ask me.

I mean, this might not sound like such a problem now, but think back to 25 December last year: you'd been drinking since 9am and you just wanted to watch World's Strongest Man while munching on a few Green Triangles.

You opened the box only to find your mum/dad/older brother/other annoying relative had eaten them all and you were stuck with a bunch of Toffee Pennies. The rage. Remember the rage?

Now take a deep breath and imagine being able to choose your perfect tub, loading up on your favourites and ditching the ones that you don't like. What a time to be alive.

Customers must choose at least four of the 13 different types of sweets on offer - if you don't pick The Purple One, Green Triangle, Coconut Éclair and Caramel Swirl you're doing it all wrong.

A John Lewis spokesperson told the i: "From September John Lewis will partner with iconic confectioners Quality Street to offer customers bespoke tins of their favourite sweets.

"John Lewis Oxford Street will be home to an exclusive personalisation station, giving customers the chance to personalise the street name on their tin, as well as pick and mix their own flavour combinations - a high street first for Quality Street."

Available exclusively at John Lewis, the create your own tubs will set you back £12 and will be in 11 stores from 21 September to 23 December.

At the Oxford Street branch you can also personalise the tin for an extra three quid, which would make a nice gift, or you can put a warning on there, just in case anyone thinks they can help themselves to your Coconut Éclairs. Merry Christmas, you filthy animals.
