From today you can pick and mix your own box of Quality Street chocolates

Christmas 2018 just got that little bit more excellent with the news that from today you’ll be able to pick and mix your very own selection of Quality Street.

That’s right, if you hate the Big Purple One then you’ll never have to even see one as you make your own entirely unique selection.

In a partnership with John Lewis, shoppers can create a very special bespoke assortment of their Quality Street favourites.

With the one caveat that you’ll have to choose at least three different sweets, you will be able to fill a tin that’s big on your favourites, whether that’s the toffee penny, the green triangle or any one of the 12 sweets in this year’s assortment.

Debbie Bowen, Senior Brand Manager for Quality Street said: “Everybody’s got a favourite Quality Street sweet and an opinion on which is the best, so providing a pick and mix option, for the very first time, could spell the end of that particular Christmas debate.

“This is a very exciting move for us and for Quality Street. We’ve been part of Christmas for more than 80 years and over that time we have had so many requests from people for a chance to create their own bespoke tin! It’s finally here and we’re delighted.”

This year’s customisable Quality Street tubs, which will cost you £12, will be available in John Lewis from 21 September at Oxford Street, Bluewater, Cambridge, Cheadle, Cribbs Causeway, Glasgow, High Wycombe, Kingston-Upon-Thames, Liverpool, Trafford and White City until 23 December.
