 A Blast at the Retirement Home! June 28, 2008
I sent this to my father for his birthday and he had the best time handing out the candy in the retirement center where he lives. Everyone found out it was his birthday this way. He didn't think the candies were exceptional tasting but he enjoyed seeing his friends' eyes light up when they saw their old favorites. It generated a lot of talking, laughing and reminiscing. A bunch of ladies got into the candy cigarettes and had their picture taken "smoking" in the lounge! Dad is very frugal and unfortunately, the price slip was included. So, first he says to me, kidding a bit but also showing his German roots: "Gayle, $40 for a box of candy?!" But he called me several times after to let me know that he got his $40 worth of fun! I did consider getting the 40's gift box, as that was more my father's era, but this gift has a lot more candy and I figured he'd enjoy having plenty to share. My 76 year old father thought the candy selection was right on target for what he remembered buying as a kid.
 Worth the money June 7, 2008
I bought this for a 50th birthday present. Very good selection. Fresh candy. Would recommend for a candy lover in that age group for a gift.

I gave the '50s basket to my brother for Christmas and I wish you could have seen the look on his face when he opened the present! Sheer delight! What do you give the person who has everything?? This is it! The kids were even excited. They had not seen or heard of so many of the candies included in the box. Of course, my brother removed some of his favorites and put them in his own secret stash but there was plenty for everyone to have a free-for-all. It was a lot of fun for everyone!

This gift set was incredible. The candy was all fresh and my dad LOVED it! He said it was the best gift I had ever given him. He spent hours going through the box and telling us stories of when he was a kid...it was really fun and I recommend this to everyone!!!
