Holiday Gift Guide - A Candy Store Review & Giveaway




 Halloween is almost two weeks in the past, and with a house full of people, the candy my kids collected is pretty much gone already. It seems to disappear faster each year. And buying the little bags at the grocery store only lasts for about a day or two. For anyone with a large family, its always a good idea to buy in bulk. And a great place to buy candy in bulk is A Candy Store.   There you can find gummies. lollipops, mints, chocolate and more at prices well below retail.




For our review, we were given a $50 credit. Choosing something was tough with so many wonderful choices. I was surprised at how easy it was to navigate the site. You can search by candy type, occasion, and even color. Finally my daughter picked out the Gummy Butterflies, the son decided on Mini Tootsie Pops, and my husband wanted to try the fruit slices.  They arrived just a few days later, well packaged and very fresh. If you've never seen a pound of gummies before, its probably way more than you thought. This amount of candy will last awhile even in my household. And it all tastes wonderful. Its like being able to shop at a gourmet candy shop from the comfort of your computer chair.




In addition to every day snacking, there are plenty of other occasions that A Candy Store can help to make memorable. Their candy would make wonderful party favors for your kid's birthday parties or you can make little gift bags for holiday parties at school. They even have some wonderful selections for bridal and baby showers.  They always offer shipping for the low flat rate of $9.95. But if the month of November if you become a fan on face book,  you can get details on obtaining free shipping.





In honor of the holiday season, A Candy Store is going to offer one of my readers a case of Pez Dispensers  (which set will be determined at the time the contest ends, based on availability)!  These would be an excellent stocking stuffer for all the kids in your life.
