50's Decade Box Gift Basket Classic 50s candyIf you were a child of the 50’s then you probably have some great memories of pedaling your bike down to the candy shop and grabbing a few pieces of penny candy. It was a cheap innocent fun treat.

Sadly a lot of those candies are hard to find today.

Sure you may find the occasional piece at a convenience store but long gone are the days or having a huge selection of your childhood favorites.

We were really excited to find the 50′s Decade Box Gift Basket – Classic 50′s Candy online. This gift basket has all the childhood favorites in it. It’s a great treat that you will love (but maybe your dentist won’t)

The 50′s Decade Box Gift Basket – Classic 50′s Candy is huge. It’s a 5-pound box of sugary goodness. The box is cute too with a “do not open unless you were a child of the 50’s!!”  logo emblazoned on the top of the box.

There are about 30 full sized pieces of candy in the box. Perfect for the biggest sweet tooth and of course for sharing.  It has everything you would expect from Necco wafers to chocolate cigarettes. Each different piece can bring back a cherished childhood memory.

What We Like:

  • Great assortment of candy, there’s plenty of stuff to choose from. The only real chore is figuring out which piece you want to tuck into first. Since there is so much there’s plenty for sharing.
  • This candy can help you tell your kids and grandkids the story of your youth. What a great way to spend some quality family time.
  • The 50′s Decade Box Gift Basket is affordable. It’s a cheap way to recapture your youth.  They’ve done all the leg work finding the best 50’s candy and packaged it all into a nice attractive gift set. All you have to do is enjoy.

thats-amore-italian-gift-basketThe perfect way to show someone you love them, is to give them a romantic gift.

There are just so many products available that show how much you care. Women love to get flowers, and red roses are usually a favourite, buy her favourite perfume in a gift pack, or gift baskets of wine and cheese are popular, and don’t forget the all time favourite – jewellery.

What woman could resist a man who show how thoughtful he is by giving her one or all of these romantic gifts.

And guys remember that most women don’t think a new microwave or household gadget is romantic.


Men on the other hand are a little more difficult to buy for on the romantic level. However, ladies we aren’t going to let that stop us, are we. Find out just what he likes. Your man may have a favourite aftershave or cologne; clothes are a possibility, and unlike we womenfolk, men generally do find gadgets and car parts quite acceptable, when receiving a romantic gift.

And then of course there are gifts that can be shared such as this Thats Amore! Romantic Dinner For Two – Italian Gourmet Food Gift Basket. A beautifuly designed wicker picnic hamper, which can be used for future picnics for two!

Inside there are scrumptous Italian inspired gourmet fixings inside: Vineyard Pasta, Sweet Basil Pesto Sauce, Cucina Olive Oil Chips, Mediteranean Balsalmic Vinegar, Vineyard Sugar Cookies, Wine Cheese Spread, Los Olivos Wine Biscuits and Pimento Stuffed Olives. (This gift does not contain wine)

KidKraft Harley Davidson Roaring Softail Rocker Kids and parents alike love tough toys that will stand up to rough play.

And that’s  just what you are going to  get with this great looking KidKraft Harley Davidson Roaring Softail Rocker.

Sure there are all sorts of different rocking horses out there but how many of them come with a sound chip that reproduces that distinctive V-Twin rumble?  Your kid will be able to take to the great open road on his or her very own Harley replica bike.

This is a great little rocking horse.

First things first. It’s stable. The wide stance and anti tip base of the 2 rockers means you won’t have to worry about the entire thing tipping over when your kid tucks in to a swooping tight turn on the asphalt.

The entire thing is built out of wood. So it’s heavy and durable, weighing in at about 25 pounds.

This is a rocker that a child can grow into. It’s good for all kids aged 3 to 8.

The Harley rocker comes with a lot of detail. The bike has a great set of mirrors, a headlight, plush seat, a fantastic orange and black paint scheme as well as Harley decals.

This isn’t just some toy that’s designed to look like a generic motorcycle. It’s patterned off the Harley Softail model, one of the company’s most popular bike frames.

What We Like:

  • We love the low center of gravity. There’s no need to worry about it tipping over during play.
  • The attention to detail is amazing, from the cushy seat down to the paintwork detailing the V-Twin engine. This rocker is a real eye catcher.
  • Finally the price can’t be beat. The Harley rocker has so many little added features like the sound chip that make it so much more than just another rocking horse.
