User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars A great gift
My Dad loved this box of memories. There was a ton of candy and included lots of things he hadn’t seen since he was a kid.

5 Stars What do I get for this person?
This is the best gift for that person who really doesn’t need anything, but that you

still want to get something that they will remember. I have used this three times

and each time it was the hit of the party, not only with the person receiving it,

but eveyone else at the party. It is great that you can customize it to several

different decades.

4 Stars Very Nostalgic Gift
I bought this for my In-laws and they went crazy. Fantastic gift for any one who grew up in this era

2 Stars I usually don’t do this… but BUYER BEWARE
Hometown Favorites is NOT a favorite of mine, and I will never buy from them again. This product is not worth $29.95 plus $21.10 shipping & handling. There were 7 candies missing with only 1 substitution. The company, Hometown Favorites, reserved the right to substitute, but they didn’t deliver. It arrives in a no frills box with no filler of any kind inside to make it presentable. My event is in a few days, so I will re-package it myself. One of the other reviewers said that she tried to contact them and they never responded. I won’t waste my time. 50’s Decade Box Gift Basket – Classic 50’s Candy

1 Star save your money…rip-off
Twenty one dollars and ten cents to ship this ?? Are you kidding ? I’m really getting sick of these companies quoting a low price for the item, then gouging you on shipping. Fifty bucks for a bunch of candy bars ? Evidently there are people out there willing to pay it…not me…buyer beware.

4 Stars Pricey but worth it
I got the 70’s box for may dad, who was born in the 60’s but grew up in the 70’s. I wasn’t there when he got the box, but he called me right after. He was shocked that I even found something like this and was really happy with it. After later talking to my mom, she said he wouldn’t stop talking about it and almost every piece was a trip down memory lane for him. She also mentioned that a lot of the items included in the box were very hard to find now a days, such as the candy cigarettes. But there were a few items you still see on shelves. I asked if any was stale, after reading the reviews on here…but they both said everything they ate was all in good, fresh condition. This is obviously only really good for a one time gift. The shipping price did bump this up to over $40 and almost made me not get it, but at the end of the day it was worth it.

2 Stars insane shipping costs
It’s a pretty cool idea and a fun gift, but the cost is too high and the shipping charges are through the stratosphere!

3 Stars No Reggie Bar??!!
Great idea, but why not pay homage to the most iconic candy of the decade? The chocolate, the caramel, the peanuts, the packaging, the salty goodness! The world has yet to see another candy to carry the name of a sports figure. Bring back the Reggie Bar and it’ll sell like hotcakes.

5 Stars A lot of candy
Sent this to my brother who is serving in Afganistan. His initial response was,”dude it’s a lot of candy”. He also said it was a great assortment of candy from when we were kids. I didn’t get to see the item myself so I hope that helps.

5 Stars Nostalgic snacks bring back memories!
All of the candies from the seventies were great!I just wish there were more of them! From sodas to licorice,suckers and bubblegum…..I purchased for a Father’s Day gift and since I had 6 Dads to buy for, it just so happened that I was able to order for different years. I ordered from the 40’s 50’s 60′70’80’s…..it was pretty awesome for all the Dad’s to start reminiscing about the good ‘ol times, what they were doing or what they were reminded of.

My whole family said it was a very thoughtful gift…….I’m always looking for unique gifts. I was very happy with my purchase. Amazon made it easy to order.-Chakakan

5 Stars Great for Kids 12 and UP
Want a perfect, pampering gift full of surprise’s and treats? This 90’s gift basket is seriously the perfect gift for anyone, who doesn’t have a sweet tooth sometime or another? Get rid of the hassle of spending hours at the mall to find absolutely nothing. Plus you won’t even know if they like it or not. This gift basket is a way to certainty. Anyone would love to receive this amazing present. Great for kids 12 and up. Birthday hassles are a thing of the past, you’ll be perfectly satisfied!

1 Star $10 of candy for $52 shipped?
Maybe nice for nostalgia, but is it worth the price of getting majorly ripped off? Its $30 plus a whopping $22 shipping… huge ripoff. I wouldnt recommend people pay for this unless you enjoy throwing your money away.

5 Stars 90s Decade Box Gift Basket
Excellent selection of candies and speedy delivery. My son & his wife loved the candies while walking on the Appalachian Trail.

3 Stars HORRIBLY disappointed!
I recieved this for Christmas last year, and was extremely grateful. However, this box did not contain about HALF of the candy that was listed, (yes, I double checked!) especially the stuff I really wanted, like the stamps and blocks and mamba.

5 Stars Loved it
This was a great gift for myself, I told my mom about it and she wants a 1960’s one, she loved the idea of having her favorite candy again.

User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star Pissedoff
I ordered two of the Grand baskets and although they arrived within a few days, one of the baskets was completey destroyed! I e-mailed the company to see if they could reship a new basket before Christmas which was now about a week away. When the new basket arrived it was about 1/4 the size of the first and had very little selection. Needless to say I will not recomend this company or buy from them ever again.

4 Stars looks reallly nice
I bought this as a present for somebody. and I really liked the way it was pakaged. I dont know how the stuff is inside. but from the outside it looks like real good stuff..

4 Stars Good Product, a bit slow on shipping..
I had sent this as an Anniversary gift for my brother and my sister-in-law, The gift was well appreciated and the assortment was good, with the gift basket being decorated well and no transit damage or defects observed.

I would have given this 5 stars had it not been for the fact that the time to customer, took nearly 2 weeks, which i felt was a bit on the higher side even by regular shipping mode.

This is more like 4.5 stars, its a great gift item, but remember to order well in advance, so that it will arrive on the date (time frame) that you intend.

5 Stars When you care enough to send the very best CHOCOLATE!
Would you like to be very, very, very popular?

Well, you can just do what I’ve done and send a basket chock full of these top-of-the-line Ghirardelli Chocolates. The gift is packed with a delightful assortment of chocolates and the recipient will be thankful forever… Well, at least until that last delectable chocolate is eaten.

Great gift!

5 Stars Great Service
Super fast shipping. Nice presentation & packaged well. My in-laws loved it! Highly recommend. Enjoy!

60s Decade Box

admin — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 12:04:23 +0000

60s Decade Box

A collection of nostalgic treats for that child of the 60’s. Each box contains more than 30 pieces of candy.

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Fun Product but total cost (with cheapest shipping) exceeded $51.00!
The 60’s decade box was well received and everyone enjoyed a trip down memory lane although a good portion of the products were unfamiliar not only to those raised in the 60’s, but those older and younger. Many were wondering if they were east coast products. The price of the product for what was received was quite excessive, and the cost of the cheapest shipping was astronomical (almost as much as the product). The box is cute, but some of the individual candy packages arrived opened with contents spilled and broken because it wasn’t packaged for shipping. Luckily I opened the box before presenting it as everything was piled together into a big heap. I was quite surprised that there wasn’t any box filler (stryofoam peanuts, bubble wrap or shredded colored paper) or that the items weren’t arranged for giving. I added my own shredded colored paper and arranged the items, but really felt for the price that it should have been professionally presented.

Although a neat idea, I will not purchase any more of these decade boxes from this company for the reasons stated above. I recently saw a similar item by another company that had just as many candies and was priced less than $15.

2 Stars too expensive
I thought this was a great idea, but after recieving it, with freight it came to 51.00

5 Stars wow! retro candy
i grew up in the sixties, and me and candy had a love affair for at least twenty years. i loved all of that “retro candy” and i tried just about every chocolate and candy bar on the market, including the “zero” and the “seven up.” as time went on alot of that candy disappeared, though it was subtle. it wasn’t until one day when i saw an old fashion type candy store that the memories started flooding back. those little “dots” on paper, if i wasn’t careful i would be eating bits of paper. but i didn’t care. i just liked that candy. it was wonderful. i am definitley looking forward to buying myself one of these “retro candy gifts.”

5 Stars Perfect!
I bought this for my mom for her birthday and she loves it. I’m having a hard time convincing her to eat everything, she wants to save it all. lol!

5 Stars Oh, The Memories this Brought Back!!!!
This box filled w/ wonderous treats from the past was a really BIG hit for my spouse’s birthday recently.

We both couldn’t believe how much candy (and other things) were packed into this very nice sized box!

Worth every penny!!!! The products brought back happy memories.

If you’re looking for chocolate, this isn’t for you.

This is more of the “candy” of the era type box. Penny and nickel candy and gum and suckers and and and and… Yum! Fun! Surprising! Happy!

Very nice gift. I will buy again for others I know and love!!!!!!!!

5 Stars Well received gift
The recipient of this basket was very pleased with it and described it as “gorgeous”. She said the contents were high quality and the basket itself was very nice and that she would find good use for it in her home.

The only issue I might have is the delivery time was slow, but I think that was more on the UPS end of things vs. the supplier so I will still give it 5 stars.

2 Stars Disappointing
I gave it only two stars because I was disappointed in the amount of chocolate included in this basket. The packaging and presentation were very nice, but the contents left my wife looking for more. The candy was fresh and tasted good, but the portions were very small. The box and packaging weigh five pounds, but I would estimate there were only about 14 ounces or less of candy. For $39.99 plus $9.99 shipping, you could do much better shopping at your local HEB or Rite Aid. Next time I will buy her a two pound Whitman’s Sampler as they know how to pack a box with chocolates.

5 Stars Delicious Chocolate Treats!!
I sent this basket of Chocolate treats to my family in PA. for the holidays. Everyone enjoyed the treats and I’m just sorry I didn’t get a chance to try some. They were gone pretty quick!. The basket was delivered right on time,and I highly recommend it . MaryAnn

5 Stars Absolutely the perfect gift
For my step-fathers birthday we got him this candy basket and a nice shirt. Forget the shirt. He loved the basket! My mom said he talked about it almost everyday for a month. A gift that makes someone that happy is easily 5 stars.

2 Stars Retro Candy
Cute idea,but box arrived creased, and some of the candy stale. Did not live up to it’s promise for the price. This was a birthday gift for my husband.

5 Stars A big hit!
This item was my parent’s Easter Basket this year. They oohhed and aahhed over every selection in the box. It was a huge hit! I highly recommend this, the candy is great and so is the walk down memory lane.

4 Stars My mother really loved this purchase
My mother was so excited about this present. She loved the selection that was in the box. It took her for a trip down memory lane…exactly what I was hoping for. She had just been talking about some of these candies to me that she used to get as a kid. So it was great timing when I found it. My only complaint would be that the box was a bit smushed and had a little tear in the side. Could have been from the shipping as well but it bothered me gifting it with a rip in it. Other than that it was a perfect experience.

5 Stars good gift
good gift for the age group it represent and a big surprise and pleasure they enjoyed it so much

5 Stars The best gift baskets!
I dug in to this basket and found great things. A thank you for a referal for a friend. He got the job and I got the best gift basket a guy can get!!

4 Stars Dad’s birthday gift
I have purchased a number of different food gift baskets over the years online, and its always a little difficult to determine which one to get. You have to carefully read the content descriptions, as some baskets have a lot of “filler” items. This makes it appear that you are getting a lot of food, but its crackers and condiments. My father liked this basket, he said the salami and other things were of good quality, so I would recommend it to others.

I would really like to see more food gift baskets that were filled with more “hard” food items like meat & cheese and less “fluff”

2 Stars Dad Complained Items were Flavorless!
Sent this to my dad for Father’s Day and got a note a few days later saying, “some of the items in it were pretty tastless. The formaggio e vino had no trace of vino whatsoever. Some of the cookies and crackers had no taste to speak of and were only useful to scoop up the formaggio which wasn’t remarkable. Whoever sold this to you may want to rethink their source. The basket is nice, however!”

So much for a nice Father’s day gift!

5 Stars Great food
The grand edition food basket was delightfully received and very much enjoyed. Good choice for a gift anytime of year.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Gift…
Bought it to be part of a large gift basket I am making for Christmas so I don’t know how it tastes and what the contents of the box look like but the box is cute and everyone else who has seen it has already called dibs on it if the recipient doesn’t want to keep it. The box alone would go for what I paid for the set at somewhere like Pier 1. Also; the recipient has a young daughter, knowing how my niece reacted when we brewed our Primula flowering teas I imagine (even if it doesn’t taste that good) both mother and daughter will be delighted.

3 Stars Pretty and functional, but small
I was excited to receive this, and it is very pretty, but very tiny. It stated how many ounces it was, I guess I just didn’t put that into relative terms. It makes about one cup of tea, and the first one is a pretty strong one. Because it is so concentrated, it’s hard to see the little bloom once the tea steeps.

For a pretty decoration, it’s nice. If you have one cup of tea a day, it’s nice. I, personally, am going to purchase a bigger one.

5 Stars Impressive, even to a 74 year old Asian American father.
I got this for my dad, who is 74 years old as an anniversary present. When I told him I got him “blooming tea” on the phone, he didn’t sound too thrilled and said something along the lines of, “maybe I’ll give it away.” Of course I didn’t take offense because let’s face it, that’s how old Asian people are.

Anyway, I guess he opened it up, and it changed his tune right away. Not sure what he was more pleased with: the cool bamboo box that he stores his little trinkets in now, or the fact that he’d never seen blooming flower tea before. Regardless, he was a happy camper, and I got a good price from Amazon and Amazon Prime.

5 Stars Excellent value
The tea has good flavor and does make three cups each. I enjoyed watching the flower”bloom”. This would be a great gift for a tea drinker.

3 Stars Fascinating & fun to brew….blase to drink
Although fascinating and fun to brew – watching the flower develop, the tea itself is very bland. People at work were fascinated by the flowered pot on my desk, curiously asking questions. However the fascination ended for me once the steaming cup met my lips and the tea itself passed over my taste buds. To be fair, perhaps I am not discerning enough or just not attuned to the nuance and subtlety of white tea, but I found the taste to be washed out & weak – even on the first pot. I suppose it is unique enough to warrant a try if you are so inclined, especially if you can get it on sale. I paid less than $15 for the set of nine flowers and pot. The pot does not have an infuser, so without a screen, expect bits of tea in your cup. Emjoy!
