 Not Such a Sweet DealAug 30, 2010
1. This was a gift order and I filled out the request for a card to be enclosed. It was delivered without any gift card or information where it came from.
2. Not worth the cost.
3. Received an email saying it couldn't be delivered to a PO Box. It didn't say that on the order form.
Overall, not a good deal.

 Great gift idea!May 20, 2010
I gave this to my mom for her birthday last year, 2009. What a HIT it was! She laughed & giggled over the candy inside. Several minutes later, she was on the phone to her friends to brag about her cool candy gift. A few of the items she didn't remember, but didn't care. She either ate them or gave those away.
Just do NOT order this item in the summer time. If you have to, pay the extra for fastest shipping. I didn't & the item arrived late August, about 20 days before my mom's birthday in September. I stored it in the fridge til her birthday because I knew some of the candy would be melted or close to it. Thank goodness I did too. There was more chocolate candy inside than I expected.

HappyFeb 09, 2010
I purchased this for my father's surprise 50th birthday party. I opened the shipping box, and my only complaint is that the box the candy was in was ripped. But that was ok, as I took all the candy out of the box anyways, and spread it out on the table for cards and gifts. It was definately a conversation starter. The memories people had looking at the candy, (I used to love these.....I remember buying these at the store for a penny....etc). I definately plan on getting one for my mom for her birthday.

 Waste of moneyNov 09, 2009
I bought the 1950's candy crate for my daughter for her birthday. I paid $38.00 with shipping and handling. I don't know what I expected but I was stunned at how little we got. It was about $5.00 worth of candy (probably worth no more than $.50 total in the 1950's), .50 for all the waste of paper to stuff the box, and the rest of the cost was probably for nostalgia. I would never buy one again.

Lots of Laughs and Good MemoriesOct 16, 2009
We have had so much fun with this product. I actually bought the Candy Crate 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s retro candy boxes for a dinner party in September where we were celebrating 4 birthdays. Between dinner and dessert, I put the boxes on the dinner table and let everyone participate in opening the candies. Everyone laughed and talked for an hour or more about the candy and memories of growing up. Since that time, I have done the same thing with school friends on a recent vacation, my brother's birthday and will be using once again at an upcoming dinner party. The Candy Crate candies are well packaged and you get plenty of product. Be prepared however; the shipping cost is as much as the candy. I have to say that it is worth the cost to see friends and family have such a good time!
