Box of Delights, at 86 Revell Street in Hokitika, is an old-fashioned lolly shop that sells sweets and treats by the pick and mix, along with hand-packed gift boxes and party boxes. The shop's website says it is open seven days a week in store. Customers can build their own pick and mix online or in the shop, and gift boxes come wrapped and ready to give. Larger party and event orders are welcome, and the shop asks people to get in touch about them. The website says most orders within New Zealand arrive in two to four working days, with tracking sent when the box is on its way. It also ships to Australia and the United Kingdom.
Newsletter subscribers hear first about new arrivals, offers and limited-edition boxes, and new online customers get 10 percent off their first order. The website describes the classics people grew up with alongside newer favourites. The shop has three other gift shops within a kilometre. Our pick in Hokitika for a pick and mix or a party box with plenty of nostalgic favourites.
