Mother’s Day is less than two weeks away, on May 10th, and what better way to let mom know how much she means to you than with a box of delicious chocolate?

As always, See’s Candies has a nice selection of Mother’s Day gifts that any mom would be happy to receive!
Packaged in pretty pastel boxes or a standard classic white box, I can tell you there are few other things I’d rather get from my kids Sunday morning (of course, handmade cards are on that short list!).
For that reason I’ve got a $25 gift card to See’s Candies to …read more

Thanks to everyone who participated in the giveaway for the Easter M&M’s! I’ve chosen two winners at random:

Congratulations to Anita T, who says “I never met an M&M I didn’t like,” and to Debbie, who commented “I’m a dark chocolate fan & was thrilled when M&M’s started making the dark variety. I’m the only one in the house that likes the dark chocolate ones so I don’t have to hide the bag to make sure I get a few!”
Emails have been sent to both winners, who have 24 hours to reply before a new winner is chosen.

You all know how devoted I am to See’s Candies. My mom worked there, my step-mom worked there and I’ve worked there — they’ve been part of my life for 25 years (and much longer for my mom — here’s me holding a See’s box she received in the ’60s!) and with Valentine’s Day coming up their Valentine’s Day Gifts are the very first treat on my wishlist!
I always look forward to Valentine’s Day, especially with kids of my own who will be getting the usual goodie boxes just like my moms gave us! I also like to put …read more
