"Sweet jars with lids" is a search that actually covers two different things, and it's worth being clear about which one you mean before you order.
Weigh-out jars: sweets sold by the jar
Products like the Bonds Lemon Bon Bons Jar 2.1kg, Bonds Mint Imperials Jar 2.5kg and the Millions Vimto Jar 2.27kg are sold as full jars of sweets — the jar is simply the format the sweets come packed in, in the same way a bag or a tub is, rather than something designed to be reused as standalone storage.
Empty jars with lids: ours to fill, yours to keep
Separately, our Sweet Accessories range includes genuinely empty jars sold as packaging in their own right: the Victorian Style Sweet Jar (3.25L and 970ml sizes), the Victorian Spiral Sweet Jar 450ml, the Slimline Plastic Sweet Jar 3.8L, and smaller novelty shapes including a heart-shaped jar with a red lid and a round bottle-shaped jar. None of these come with sweets included — they're bought empty, for filling from your own pick 'n' mix order, a bulk bag, or simply for display.
Which one do you actually need
If you want ready-made sweets in a jar-shaped container, a weigh-out jar from our Sweet Jars collection is the right pick. If you want an empty jar to fill yourself — for a sweet table, a gift, or just a kitchen jar — our Sweet Accessories range covers that instead. A few of the glass and novelty-shaped jars are special-order lines, usually arriving within two weeks at the same price as in-stock items, so it's worth checking the product page if you need one quickly.
Keeping sweets fresh once they're in the jar
Once you've filled a jar, how you store it matters as much as the jar itself — see our guide to keeping sweets fresh for tips on humidity, resealing and where to keep an opened jar.
Frequently asked questions
Do you sell empty sweet jars with lids?
Yes — our Sweet Accessories range includes the Victorian Style Sweet Jar (3.25L and 970ml), the Victorian Spiral Sweet Jar 450ml, the Slimline Plastic Sweet Jar 3.8L, and smaller novelty shapes, all sold empty.
What's the difference between a sweet jar and a weigh-out jar?
A weigh-out jar like our Bonds or Millions jars comes already full of sweets. An empty sweet jar from our accessories range comes with nothing in it, for you to fill.
Are the empty jars in stock?
Most are, though some of the glass and novelty shapes are special-order and typically take around two weeks — check the product page for current stock.
