DO you always end up with a tin full of leftover coconut eclairs?

Or maybe you're the first one in the tin ready to snatch all the strawberry ones before your sister gets her hands on them?

Quality Street lovers can avoid the squabbles this Christmas as for the first time they will be able to pick the contents of their tin.

The well-known chocolate brand has teamed up with John Lewis and will have pick and mix stations at 11 stores in the country.

Choosing at least three different sweets, shoppers can fill their tin with their favourites whether it’s the toffee penny, the green triangle or any one of the 12 sweets in this year’s assortment.

The pick and mix tins will go on sale from next month across the country with visitors to John Lewis’s Oxford Street store also given the option to personalise their tin's lid.

Debbie Bowen, senior brand manager for Quality Street said: “Everybody’s got a favourite Quality Street sweet and an opinion on which is the best, so providing a pick and mix option, for the very first time, could spell the end of that particular Christmas debate.

“This is a very exciting move for us and for Quality Street. We’ve been part of Christmas for more than 80 years and over that time we have had so many requests from people for a chance to create their own bespoke tin! It’s finally here and we’re delighted.”

When and where will it be available?

Pick and mix tins, priced at £12, is available in John Lewis now in their Oxford Street London store and from October in the following stores: Bluewater, Cambridge, Cheadle, Cribbs Causeway, Glasgow, High Wycombe, Kingston-Upon-Thames, Liverpool, Trafford and White City.

Named after the J M Barrie play, Quality Street is still manufactured in Halifax to this day and the Nestlé factory produces more than 10 million sweets every single day in the run up to Christmas.
