Hello Everyone,

For those of you who don’t know me I’m Nicky, founder and owner of Ma Humbugs Old Fashioned Sweet shop and today marks 20 years since I opened the business!

I can’t quite believe it’s been so long since I started over near Wade Road in Basingstoke. There have been lots of changes through the years and for last 15 years I’ve been located at Viables Craft Centre.

I’m still here with over 200 varieties of sweets in jars, your favourite tuck shop sweets, Belgian chocolates and of course my homemade fudge.

Thank you to all of my wonderful customers for your support, many of you I’ve known since I started and all the new faces who visit. There are children I served 20 years ago who now visit with their own children, that makes me feel very old!

Thank you so much and I look forward to the next 20 years!

Nicky
