Bargain retailer B&M has launched a special Valentine's Day hamper that's generating significant excitement among shoppers, with many declaring it a superior alternative to traditional floral gifts. The £10 sweet treat bundle, exclusively featuring Haribo strawberry-themed confectionery, has been met with enthusiastic responses across social media platforms.
A Sweet Alternative to Valentine's Flowers
Shoppers have taken to Facebook to express their delight at the pink-themed hamper, with numerous comments suggesting this edible gift represents a more thoughtful Valentine's present than conventional bouquets. One social media user directly addressed their partner, stating the hamper "would be better than any flowers" for the upcoming romantic occasion.
What's Inside the £10 Haribo Hamper
The specially curated collection contains seven different strawberry-flavoured Haribo products, all packaged within a vibrant red and pink gift box designed specifically for Valentine's gifting. The complete contents include:
- Haribo Giant Strawbs (160g Share Bag)
- Haribo Balla Bites Strawberry (140g Share Bag)
- Haribo Strawberry Softies (140g Share Bag)
- Haribo Strawberry Spaghetti Zing (140g Share Bag)
- Haribo Squidgy Strawbs (140g Share Bag)
- Haribo Balla Stixx Strawberry (140g Share Bag)
- Haribo Heart Throbs (160g Share Bag)
Social media reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, with one enthusiast declaring the hamper "a box full of the best" while another celebrated that "Haribo understands that strawberry is the only thing needed!" The nostalgic appeal of these classic sweets has clearly resonated with consumers seeking affordable yet meaningful Valentine's gifts.
Value Proposition Defended by Savvy Shoppers
When questions arose about whether purchasing the sweets separately might prove cheaper, knowledgeable consumers quickly defended the hamper's value. Multiple commenters pointed out that individual Haribo share bags typically retail around £1.50 each, with some of the included varieties not always readily available in standard supermarket selections. This makes the £10 price point particularly compelling for those wanting to gift a substantial collection of strawberry-themed treats.
B&M's Broader Valentine's Offering
Beyond the Haribo hamper, B&M is offering additional Valentine's solutions through its lesser-known online flower delivery service. This "secret service" operates separately from physical store offerings, providing floral arrangements delivered directly to recipients' doors starting from just £18. Previous customers have praised this service online, with one stating they "can't fault it" and another claiming the flowers are "the most beautiful" and "last for ages."
The retailer has established a reputation for seasonal hampers throughout the year, having previously offered themed collections during Christmas featuring international sweets from America and Australia alongside various flavour profiles and confectionery types. This Valentine's edition continues B&M's tradition of providing affordable gifting options that capture seasonal spirit without breaking the bank.
Shoppers visiting B&M stores might also benefit from insider knowledge about uncovering unadvertised price reductions. Retail expert and regular ITV contributor Jordon Cox has revealed that using specific tools and techniques can help identify discounts that haven't yet been reflected on shelf labels or product stickers, potentially leading to even greater savings during the Valentine's shopping period.
