Welcome to Sweet Escape Sweets & Treats!
We’re an online sweet shop helping you send a little bit of happiness through the post. From classic favourites to colourful pick ’n’ mix, every Sweet Escape box is beautifully packaged, letterbox-friendly, and perfect for gifting, celebrating—or just treating yourself midweek.
Sweet Escape began in May 2020 during the first lockdown, when we were all missing family, friends, and everyday moments of joy. We wanted to send something thoughtful, fun, and unexpected through the letterbox—something that would instantly lift someone’s spirits. That’s where the idea of sweets in a box was born.
Picture it: the post arrives, and among the usual bills and envelopes sits a mysterious little box. It’s addressed to you—you weren’t expecting anything—so curiosity takes over. You open it, peel back the pink tissue paper, and suddenly you’re hit with the smell of childhood favourites, bright colours, and that unmistakable sweet-shop magic. It’s a moment of pure nostalgia and surprise… and it’s impossible not to smile.
That feeling is exactly why we do what we do.
We believe small gestures make a big difference. A thoughtful treat arriving unexpectedly can turn someone’s whole day around—whether it’s a birthday, a thank you, or simply “I’m thinking of you.”
Because kindness is like sugar…
it makes life taste a little sweeter.
Sweet Escape Sweets & Treats was founded by ourselves – Lucy and Jonathan in 2020.
We both came from the entertainment and circus industry, and like many others, we found ourselves with time, creativity, and a need for a new challenge when the pandemic paused live events overnight.
What began as a small lockdown project quickly grew into a thriving business. Five years on, Sweet Escape has expanded far beyond the two of us in our kitchen. We now have a fantastic extended team who support us with production, packaging, and dispatch — especially during busy seasonal launches.
Our background in events and entertainment influences everything we do. We believe sweets should be fun, memorable, and leave a lasting impression which is why every box is carefully designed, hand-packed, and made to bring joy to whoever receives it.
Alongside Sweet Escape, we also run Glitz and Glam Entertainment — our agency supplying performers and circus artists across the UK and Europe — so creativity will always be at the heart of our work.
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, saying thank you, or simply treating yourself, we’re here to make it a little sweeter.
