Holiday Gift Guide - Melville Candy Company Review & Giveaway




Its December! That meas its officially holiday time. The whole month of December is pretty much one big celebration with parties and outings almost every day. I don't have a lot of extra time and one of the things I always hate doing is making little gift bags for the kids to take to school for their classroom parties. This year, I found a solution that will save me time and money.  Melville Candy Company offers some adorable holiday themed treats that make great stocking stuffers, gift box decorations, and class room hand outs.




For our review, I picked out the adorable Gingerbread Man with button lollipops. They taste just like a ginger snap, and are really long lasting.  Its been two days and my kids haven't finished one yet. They are perfect to give out at school because they are a universal winter symbol that will work no matter what holiday people celebrate. We got a whole case which was just enough for one whole classroom with a few left over for us to sample.



Of course, Melville Candy has plenty of candy for the rest of the year as well. They offer some adorable sports themed lollipops that would be great for end of the season party handouts.They also make great favors for weddings and baby showers. In addition to lollipops, you can find fine chocolate like their chocolate smore stirrers or the chocolate snowmen.






In honor of the holiday season, one lucky winner is going to receive a $40 gift certificate to use towards any item they choose.
