80th Birthday retro Candy Gift Basket
The latest report on the average age of life expectancy for a man is 74.1; for a woman it's 79.1. That said, it seems that any person reaching the milestone age of 80 not only deserves our respect, and pat-on-the-back, but an 80th birthday retro candy gift basket.

Okay, so it's candy, but so what? Retro candy at the age of 80 or older is a good thing and it does allow the birthday man or woman a chance to celebrate like a kid again. We should all be that lucky. Even the late comedian Joe E. Louis who uttered the famous line: "If I'd known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself," would have enjoyed an 80th birthday retro candy gift basket from his fellow comedians.

Actually, birthdays are not really about celebrating your age—it's about celebrating your birth; ergo, birthday. It's a day to commemorate your entrance into this world, and reflect on your life and all of the choices you have made along the way. And what better way to celebrate than with a retro candy gift; the perfect alternative they won’t expect.

Look folks, it can be your own 80th celebration, a family member, or a close friend. Any way you slice it, reaching the 80th birthday pinnacle can be a milestone in any person's life. It's also a cause for joy and happiness. If you're planning an 80th birthday party for that special person, you have an octogenarian in your life. And you’re most likely thinking about a special treat for him or her to commemorate this happy occasion without "breaking the bank." Birthday cards are okay, but your birthday man or woman has more than likely seen all the birthday cards they want. So why not choose an alternative treat. An 80th birthday retro candy gift basket should do the trick and put a smile on their faces. You're never too young to enjoy the taste of candy.

1950's Birthday Retro Candy Gift Basket
It can be extremely difficult trying to figure out the perfect gift for someone who seemingly has everything. A gift basket is the perfect choice. Whether the gift is for a birthday, an anniversary, a graduation, or just because, anytime of the year is the perfect time to give someone a gift basket. Personalized retro candy gift baskets are a simple way to give someone a very personal and thoughtful gift.

Personalizing a gift is not only thoughtful, but it can make a real statement and stand out among other gifts. While gift ideas abound and gift options are plenty, finding something that is unique, personal, and symbolic of how much you care seems like an almost impossible feat. A personalized gift is definitely the right direction to turn, but there are many options in personalized gift-giving as well.

The gift of candy can elicit strong emotions and accompanying smiles and gratitude for the memories. Imagine giving a gift of sweet candy memories as a birthday gift to a woman who remembers trips with her grandpa to the candy store once a week to buy Necco Wafers, Wax Bottles, and Candy Buttons in the 1950s. Think of the thrill you can offer a favorite uncle as he opens up his retro candy gift basket to discover the Dubble Bubble, Pixy Stix, and LemonHeads he loved as a child in the 1970s. Picture yourself receiving a gift full of candy that you haven't tasted since you were six, nine, or 12 years old.

Just about anyone can appreciate a gift that involves food in some way, but putting the extra bit of thought into making it personal with retro treats and fond memories of a great childhood is a touching testament to how much you care. Bring back the welcome and warm memories of "yesteryear" and the "good ol' days" with a personalized gift basket. Retro candy is a gift that says, "You're never too old to feel young at heart."

30th Birthday Retro Candy Giftbasket
Taking a stroll down memory lane using all the best memories one can muster leaves people with a delightfully tingly and completed feeling deep down inside. Whether memories are about family, friends or special circumstances delicious foods always seem to play a major role in our happier moments.

Holidays especially happily invite fantastic food fare. Back in the day holiday times were always long-awaited, treasured moments for kids from 1 to 92 because of all of the delicious treats and goodies taunting all of those tiny taste buds. Specifically, retro candy was and still does provide a plethora of sugary yumminess folks simply cannot resist. Ribbon candy, candy necklaces and Teaberry gum were all the rave.

Perhaps retro candy represents a simpler time or simply a time of ravenously rewarding over-indulgence of colorful candies from chewy to tart. Whatever the reason back then, still stands true today. Young kids everywhere remain mini-magnets to the magnificent malted milk balls, sticky taffy and crystallized rock candy. The eating experience of these old-fashioned candy treats create new memories for today's kids while taking the adults right back to where they were when they chewed their first bubble gum cigar.

Keeping wonderful memories alive is not only an enjoyable experience, but can also be a healing element within our own human nature. Retro candy gift baskets are the perfect solution to bringing back a little bit of the past and a lot of the joy. Imagine the thrill of surprise after coming across those irresistible little chews called Chiclets. There wasn't a family alive that didn't rely on the sheer entertainment of trying to chew only one piece. In most cases the entire box of gum rarely lasted a day.

Retro candy baskets aren't simply basic, either. Retro candies from the 50's and 60's pop with color, nostalgia and an overwhelming invitation to be opened and eaten. From root beer barrels to Chick-O-Stix to tasty and chewable wax lips there isn't a baby boomer or modern-day child who can resist the sheer amusement, gratification and all the fun retro candy gift baskets endlessly provide.

Keep those great memories alive and make a few new ones for you and your family. Toss in a few Lifesavers, Pixy Stix and Necco Wafers, and watch your family's eyes light up the room. After all, we never can have too many wonderful memories to last a life time.

Nostalgic Candy Gift Basket
For many, thinking back to childhood is a source of good memories. Spending time with family and friends, school day memories, even seeing the clothing that was worn "back in the day" can trigger thoughts about the past. One other fond memory that many people have about their childhood or younger years is candy. Though there are many great varieties of new candy, retro candy like Boston Baked Beans, Wax Lips and Bit-O-Honey seems to bring back good memories, and remind people of their previous life experiences.

Retro candy gift baskets are an ideal way to bring up old memories in a unique way. These baskets may include items other than candy, but it will be the sweet stuff that means the most. These gift baskets are great for many different occasions like birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, or even just as a way to say "thinking about you". A way to break the monotony of present day life, receiving some retro candy may be just the thing to brighten the day. For some, these candies may remind them of times with their parents, or dates with significant others. Another possibility is having the memory of a life changing event like beginning school or hanging out with friends after class at a drugstore come back - all with a simply piece of candy.

Though some brands like Now And Laters candy are still well liked and relevant today, many have been replaced and "upgraded" to current varieties. Many young people do not even know what Boston Baked Beans are, and hope that Wax Lips don't end up in their goodie bags at parties, meaning that the newer generations have been raised on new flavors and options. Retro candy gift baskets will have different meaning to older generations, and can be counted on to bring a smile to any adult's face.

Selecting and sending one of these gift baskets can say a great deal about a person's personality. Whether simply hoping to bring a smile and some past memories back to a person, or trying to make a good impression, packing a basket full of retro candy that includes Wax Lips, Now and Laters candy, Bit-O-Honey and Boston Baked Beans is a safe bet. These candy varieties were large parts of childhood and early adulthood for many people, and being reminded of the past in such a way is always a welcome gesture.

Along the same concept of the Wax Lips were the Wax Teeth and Wax Soda Bottles. Depending on what mood you were in at the time any one of these was a fun choice. For a more filling choice in retro candy is the Bit-O-Honey bar. Caramel taffy with nuts was sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. This was a favorite to buy at the movies along with popcorn and a drink.
Besides tasting good this candy did have some health value which made parents like it even more. A favorite from years back as well as today is the Now and Later Candy.
The Now and Later Candy is fruit flavored and has a taffy-like consistency. Popular flavors are strawberry, lime, grape, cherry and apple. The original colors for this candy were green, blue and red.
