So I wanted to surprise my fiance by getting her a heap of unique, weird and international lollies/candy she hasn't tried before for christmas and I was wondering if anybody could recommend an online candy shop.
Being in NW Tasmania, we don't have a huge range of options for local lolly shops that I could go to so was wondering where would be good to order from (and not bank breaking).
Any advice would be great,
Thanks!

Cheers, I'll check it out.
I've just been going through so many looking for the best deals/variety but I get that there probably isn't some amazing single solution to this.
I'll bring you some from UK when get back around March if you can wait that long.
You'll have to define what types you want though. Lollies means ice cream there.
Sorry, I guess when I mean lollies I mean like hard/soft candy, gummies or chocolates. Confectionary or sweets might be the better term for it! Thanks for the offer but I wouldn't want to put anyone out of their way :)

Not sure if they offer a delivery service but these 2 places have a good range of international lollies and candy.. maybe you can speak to them and arrange something.
Amazon sell quite a few international foods and candies. The only trick is knowing what to buy.
Good call, I had a quick look on there now. Unfortunately some of the things that I thought might be good were out of stock. Will keep an eye on it. Thanks!
If there are any Asian grocers nearby, you could check them out as they usually have a snack/lolly section. These are the types of snacks/lollies you might expect to find there: https://asianpantry.com.au/collections/snacks
Good idea, thanks! I know there is one 15 minutes down the road. I'll go check them out!
Hope they stock a decent range!
The Reject Shop is another physical store that could be worth trying if it’s not too far. They’ve got a British Favourites confectionary section on their website (no idea how popular these actually are in Britain). Probably worth giving your local a call to see if they have them before heading there. https://www.rejectshop.com.au/c/groceries/british-favourites
And in case it’s not on your radar yet, pics of this shop in northern Tas suggests it sells some imported lollies. Again, probably worth giving them a call first…
The Toffee Shop

or if there's a Daiso near you, they often have a heap of lollies.. They have these sour lollies which are 100x worse than Warheads
There isn't unfortunately. Not much choice down in Tas.
You can get these at a lot of different online stores (including Amazon), so just have a look around, but definitely try Parma Violets for something different. I was given some as a kid from a family member in the UK once, and I've loved them ever since. They're strange (taste like flowers!) but really good. Worth a try. :)
Having just looked for them on Amazon, I came across Parma Violet gin. I know what I'm buying myself for Christmas…
I just had a look at the Parma Violets, they are definitely going on the list, thanks!
