Tonight’s featured items are thanks to Amazon. Yes, Amazon. Apparantly they knew I was looking for gift ideas to share — and when I pulled up Amazon.com’s website over the weekend, this was recommended to me, despite the fact I’ve never purchased candy or gift sets from them.
Within their Gourmet Food listings is a company by the name of Candy Crate — who sells retro candy gifts sets. Were you a child of the 80s like me and miss some of those childhood favorites? The 80s gift set includes: Apple Heads, Bottle Caps, Bubble Gum Cigarettes, Candy Cigarettes, Charms Blow Pops, Fruit Stripe Gum, Fun Dip, Gobstoppers, Grape Heads, Jolly Rancher Sticks, Mamba, Mike & Ikes, Nerds, Orange Heads, Pixy Stix, Pop Rocks, Runts, Saf-T-Pops, Slap Stix, Sweetarts, Wax Fangs, Zotz, Atomic Fireballs, Candy Necklaces, Bazooka, Bit O Honey, Jawbreakers, Lemonheads & Now & Laters
Ah, yes … all those candies that resulted in all those dental visits
Check out their retro candy gifts sets for the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s …
