Old Time Candy Company
This company gave a nostalgic feel right off the home page. You will have access to purchase many of your old time favorite candies. I got the peanut chews, which I can’t seem to find in the regular store, so I was very excited for this. I picked up some chocolate roses for my kid’s teachers, as well as some of my family’s favorites: red vines, chocolate covered marshmallows, and nonpareils. But what you may like here are the nostalgia boxes. You can get candy from ANY DECADE. Check out the links below. I also thought the party favors were cool too. Especially if you are hosting a big birthday party for someone, there’s favors to tie in with any theme.
Personalized Valentine’s Day or Non-Valentine Decade Gift Box choose your decade and get 2 lbs of candy from that era (50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, or all) in a cute box.
Create a Chocolate Roses Bouquet choose the number of roses you want for your bouquet, the colors and you’re all set.
Love Bug Gift Box – A chocolate gift box, with full size candy bars!
Retro Candy Gift Box – 1.75 lb assortment of over 65 pieces of retro candy.
Any of these would make for a sweet, thoughtful treat for any sugar lover.
How About Some Wine for Your Valentine?
For some reason moms came to mind with this suggestion. I thought of myself and how some nights, I may need to take the edge off. I love opening a bottle of wine I received as a gift. Its so thoughtful, and exactly what is needed at a time when moms may need a reminder that “this too shall pass;” so put your legs up and relax mama! Below are two suggestions for places you can purchase wine gifts if you wanted to send it directly to the recipient, or just cut out the visit to a physical store.
“High end wines – delivered to your house, at half the price, but double the quality!”
~Wired for Wine
Wired for Wine’s delivery was prompt. There’s wine available at every price point and variety; and they give information on food or snack pairings in their descriptions so you can find the perfect bottle. You can purchase other spirits as well through Wired for Wine.
The California Wine Club has an awesome gift idea. Not only are there a variety of membership options but for a limited time, you can try a 3 bottle gift set! Each gift set includes three unique bottles of handcrafted wine. These one-time shipments include a custom gift message from you, plus detailed tasting notes and pairing recommendations. You do not need to purchase a membership to get this 3 bottle set. Another option from The California Wine Club is a Premier Series Wine Club Membership. If you include the code WINEBONUS (before 3/2022) you get two bonus bottles of wine in the first delivery. That’s 4 bottles of wine for the price of 2, for your first month of membership!
If you can’t get out to the local wine store, these options are an easy way to share a sweet sentiment. Both places have tons of choices. Its really the perfect gift any time of year!
Art of Tea
Looking for a warm gift, something to warm to the heart. Think about the gift of tea. I used to get my grandmother tea gifts, and she loved it! I recently started my kids on tea gifts for grandma and its a hit! There is something special about having a cup of tea with a loved one in the middle of the day while discussing life. Tea is something that makes you feel good any time of day. Art of Tea has some great choices for the tea lover in your life.
Plants and Flowers for Your Valentine
Have someone in your life that loves indoor plants. Go beyond flowers this Valentine’s Day. Deliver a plant, check out our post on plants said to bring good luck. Nature Hills Nursery has some great options. You get a brief description on how to care for the plant, as well as light and temperature recommendations. If you are unsure you can send a gift certificate too. Who wouldn’t love buying themselves a spring planting for outside? Or maybe you want give your valentine some seeds to plant in their garden. Botanical Interests has a variety of seed choices, as well as a ton of information for people looking to learn more about different plant varieties. Maybe you want to make them a seed bouquet.
