Every gran had a bag of these somewhere. Usually the handbag, occasionally the glovebox, always within reach.
Bonds of London Garden Fruits are the fruit sweets that got handed into the back seat to keep you quiet on a long drive, and it mostly worked. A bag of bright, fruity sweets, the kind you rattle to check how many are left before anyone else does.
This is the UK bag, and it ships from within Canada, so the glovebox can be restocked without a flight.
Fair warning: the first one is a decision. The rest just happen.
Frequently asked questions about Bonds of London Garden Fruits
Q: How big is the bag?
A: It's a 120g bag. Big enough to pass round, small enough that you'll notice exactly who took the last one.
Q: Do they make a good gift for someone who misses the UK?
A: Very much so. A bag of the sweets they grew up with lands better than most things in a card, and it fits in a parcel with a box of tea without any fuss.
Q: How do they arrive?
A: Sealed in the bag, packed up and sent out from us here in Halifax. Pop it in a cool, dry cupboard when it turns up, if it lasts that long.
More about Bonds of London Garden Fruits
Garden Fruits live at the old-fashioned end of the British sweet aisle, in the bags you'd spot by the till at a corner shop or newsagent. Not a chocolate bar, not a novelty, just a bag of fruit sweets quietly doing its job.
People in Canada go looking for them because a particular sweet tends to belong to a particular person. A grandparent, a long car journey, a church hall on a Saturday. You can't get the memory back without the bag.
The 120g bag is a pocketable size: easy to share, or easy to pretend you're sharing. Keep it sealed in a cool, dry cupboard and it keeps happily until someone finds it. They earn their place in desk drawers, coat pockets and the bottom of a handbag.
Bonds makes a run of traditional British sweets in bags, and Garden Fruits sit well in a basket alongside other old-school favourites: a box of proper tea, a packet of biscuits, and something for the person who insists they don't eat sweets but will have just the one.
