Collection: Simpkins - Traditional Travel Sweets in Classic Tins

Travel sweets are a British glovebox tradition: a flat tin of glucose boiled drops, dusted so they never stick together, kept in the car for long journeys and handed round the back seat.

Simpkins makes them in Sheffield and we hold eighteen lines, including Barley Sugar, Mixed Fruit Drops, Forest Fruit, Butterscotch, Mint Drops, Black Currant, Strawberry and Cream, Citrus Lemon and Sour Cherry, and the Union Jack tin.

The tins are half the appeal, which is why they sell as small gifts, stocking fillers and cabin bag sweets. Made in Sheffield, imported by us, and sitting in our Massachusetts warehouse ready to send.

Buy Simpkins Travel Sweets Online in the USA
Travel sweets are a British institution: a flat tin of hard boiled sweets, dusted so they do not stick, kept in the glovebox for long drives. The tin itself is half the appeal, which is why these sell as gifts almost as often as they sell as sweets.

Tins, Flavours and Why They Make Good Gifts
Barley sugar and glucose barley are the traditional flavours, with fruit drops and mixed varieties alongside. The tins stack, seal properly and survive a bag, so they work for travel, hospital visits, stocking fillers and anyone who likes a sweet that lasts rather than one that is chewed.

FAQ

Q2: What is barley sugar?
