Where to buy glace/candied fruit?

Ideally I'm looking for a little, mixed gift box, but everything I've found has poor reviews, look dried up or have sugar crystals on rather than a shiny, fresh look. Any recommendations? Fortum and mason have them, but I was planning on less than £20 as already have other gifts for her.

You can do pick and mix at Fortnum's if you're within striking distance.

Walnut tree for glacé fruits
Waitrose for Pates de fruits

Thanks everyone.

@xmasdealhunter That brand looks lovely, but even going through the motions of signing up and getting the 15% discount, it was then £14 for delivery!

I'm now looking at glace marrons instead.

Fortnum and Mason. They have lovely glacé fruit and free delivery when you spend £150

Fortnums aren't available for delivery before Christmas

An Italian deli might be worth a try. Possibly TK Maxx, their food section can have random surprises.

Amazon has a Walnut Tree gift box for £18 (search for marron glacé). I just bought two!

And the OP said in the OP that she wants to spend less than £20, not upwards of £150!!

Although granted you only have to spend that much for delivery to be free.
