Valentine's Day Gift Guide ~ Old Time Candy Review & Giveaway Ends 02/08

Valentine's Day is just around the corner so i thought of doing some reviews/giveaways on gift ideas to make your celebration all the more special this year. Your mind might be cluttered now with thoughts on what to give your loved ones to make the day memorable.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you remember Wax Lips, Ice Cube Chocolates, Bonomo's Turkish Taffy, Candy Cigarettes, Candy Buttons on paper tape, Wax Syrup Bottles, Sky Bars, Zagnut, Necco Wafers, Teaberry Gum or Chick-o-Sticks?

I received a 4 lb box of from the 1960's from Old Time Candy. I was tickled pink to see all these candies that I ate as a kid and it came in a very cute Decade box! The decade box can be personalized for Valentine's Day! And available on 4 lb. or 2 lb. boxes. Check them all out here


Old Time Candy sells Old fashioned from the 1950's, 60's, 70''s or 80s and yes still available after all these years!
They have over 400 different fresh candies. You can choose Decade Assortments or you can pack your own assortments by Pack-a-Bag. They also have Party favors they have a terrific selection of over 350 candies from which to choose. Also choose from 11 different styles of colorful cellophane bags and 20 ribbon colors. Any event is better with a party favor filled with Candy you ate as a kid!

Did i tell you that they also have Retro Toys Toys you played with as a kid like Slinky, balsa airplanes, magic slates, pick-up sticks and many more retro toys and games, still available after all these years.

I think this will be a great surprise Valentine's Day gift or for any occasion, not just for our oldies but to anybody we know who haven't had the chance to enjoy all these retro candies and toys.


Old Time Candy is offering a 10% discount for your VDay gift-giving from now until end of the "Love Month" when you use coupon code STrain10 at checkout.

Or if you're lucky you might win a box for yourself!
