Hometown Favorites 1950's Nostalgic Candy Gift Box, Retro 50's Candy, 3-Pound

Here's what customers on Amazon said about it:
I bought this for my partner's 60th birthday. Of course, she had fun seeing all this stuff again - though she said that some of it does not look familiar, probably because it wasn't marketed in NY. We called it the box 'o fun, we loved it so much.

I bought this for my Dad, a man who already has everything he needs. The gift basket gave him a trip down memory lane. His face lit up when he opened it. He went on to share with me stories of his childhood. It was a great moment and a perfect gift.

Recollections: a Baby Boomer's Memories of the Fabulous Fifties

"I, too, am a Baby Boomer; though a few years younger than the author of "Recollections." We share many of the same memories, as I was constantly nodding vigorously and crying, "Yes, yes" as I took this poignant and humorous walk down Memory Lane. Mr. Chambers artfully interweaves interesting historical tidbits with his own recollections of The Fabulous Fifties." (review by Melanie Frazier on Amazon)

    I also purchased the nostalgic candy box for my dad (1960s); he was quite surprised to see some old favorites in there!

    Yeah. Me. And my wife. And my sister. And my inlaws. *sigh* Great lens! I've liked, favorited, thumbs-upped, and lensrolled your masterpiece. Congrats on a great job!

    Yes, my parents are early boomers. I got my mom one of those candy packs from the fifties once and an issue of Life magazine from her birth month. She really loved those things. Blessed.
