Anyone born in 1974 will be turning 40 years old this year. Turning 40 has long been a dreaded age. Forty was once considered to be middle-age, assuming you expect (or hope) to live to be 80. Just think of all the changes, both good and bad, that have occurred over the last 40 years. Most modern music doesn’t sound like the music of the 70’s. Fashions, hair color and what about piercings? Anyone born in 1974 is probably not considering a belly-button ring, or even a tongue piercing, which is so common in 2014. On the other hand, there might be some forty-year-olds, in an attempt to stay young, that are coloring their hair with streaks of pink or blue as is the trend in 2014.<br />
<br />
Fashion in 1974 was one of a kind. Bell bottom slacks and platform shoes were in style. The flared pants were popular with both men and women. The style was that they were frequently worn around the hips, below the waist, and were usually very tight fitting. The slacks got the name bell bottoms because the flare started at the knee and had the look of a bell as it got larger going down the lower leg to the ankle. This style was carried over from the late 60’s hippy trend.<br />
<br />
Whatever the person turning 40 thinks about being a little older, anyone would enjoy a 1974 Hippies - 40th Birthday Gift. Reviews from people who have sent these gifts indicate they are quite appreciated and enjoyed by anyone turning 40. They are fun to send and even more fun to receive. There are many types of 1974 Hippies - 40th Birthday Gifts to choose from, a range of prices, and a variety of candies and toys remembered from that beloved year. They are also hand-packed in some version of a gift box that either indicates the year or the age of the birthday person. <a href="http://www.woodstockcandy.com/hippie-birthday-gift.html">Face it 40-year-olds – you have hit that golden age you once thought was “old”, so why not enjoy it! </a>Blogging Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05674878170323611616noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760578795498277657.post-49602700210216602842014-01-21T23:22:00.000-08:002014-01-21T23:22:00.487-08:00Unique Gifts for Those Turning 70 This Year<br />

<br />
A Milestone birthday can be celebrated in simple and unique ways. Here are some 50th Birthday Ideas to Gift and Celebrate 1964 born boys and girls.<br />
<br />
Generic 50th birthday invitations and party-ware are easily found in big box stores. Focus your attention on bringing 1964 to life with the music and popular themes of the year.<br />
<br />
The British Invasion began in 1964 when the Beatles appeared on the "Ed Sullivan Show" in 1964. Music from 1964 is fun for all ages and easy to dance to. Play a selection that includes the Beatles, Beach Boys, Supremes, and Elvis Presley. Don't forget "The Girl From Ipanema", Grammy's Record of the Year in 1964.<br />
<br />
G. I. Joe was introduced that year and sitting amidst Barbie and Troll dolls (also introduced in 1964) would make a nostalgic and fun table decoration. Also, look for toy Mustangs, Ford Galaxie and Thunderbird cars and muscle cars like the Pontiac GTO, all popular 50 years ago.<br />
<br />
If a special theme is chosen, try a tropical island as in "Gilligan's Island" or a haunted house like "The Addams Family" or "The Munsters" all of which debuted in 1964. Serve standard party finger foods and throw in a few theme foods like pineapple skewers or gummy worms.<br />
<br />
Retro candy and foods are a great way to fire up childhood memories. Many stores and online companies still sell the candy we grew up with including candy necklaces, cigarettes, Zotz, Sixlets (now gluten free!), Chuckles and Nik-L-Nip. Ritz crackers, American cheese, Vienna sausages and Bugles are nostalgic. If serving more hearty fare try macaroni and cheese with cut-up hot dogs, iceberg wedge salad, or Swedish meatballs.<br />
<br />
These 50th Birthday Party Ideas will help you to celebrate 1964 with your party guests and honoree. You might even seek their help as half the fun in a party is in the planning! <a href="http://www.woodstockcandy.com/50th-birthday-party-ideas.html">Reminders of a simpler time in their life will surely bring lots of birthday smiles. </a><br />

If a fancy dinner party or a silly theme event are not desired, a dessert party might fit the bill. Hosts can plan to set out various dessert experiences for friends and family to enjoy. One station might be a chocolate fountain including all the amazing dippers, such as cut fruit, chunks of cake and pretzels. A milk and cookies bar is another popular idea. Whatever type of celebration is decided upon the birthday person should be pampered, honored and showered with plenty of nostalgic 50th birthday party gifts, kind words and wonderful new memories.<br />

As we get older, gift giving gets more difficult. It can be difficult to find unique gifts – ones that relate to the person and will bring a smile to their faces. But there is something you've probably never considered before. Give the gift of candy… retro candy!<br />
<br />
There’s no better way to bring on nostalgia than to eat the candy of your youth. It could be Atomic Fireballs, Coconut Long Boys, and Saf-T-Pop from the 1950's or Bubble Tape, Candy Necklaces, or Nerds from the 1980's. Get the candy that was introduced or popular in the decade the person you are buying for was born and watch their face light up.<br />
<br />
You can’t find much of the candy we grew up with on the market anymore. As we grow up, the sweet and sticky candies that were so yummy to us when we were kids are often put aside in favor of chocolate and other snacks. We may move on, but we never forget the taste of our favorite lollipop. Imagine the joy a 70-year-old might get when presented with the rock candy from their youth? Slip a pack of Now or Laters into a 40-year-old’s hand and watch them almost skip with excitement. Candy is the great equalizer.<br />
<br />
Memories of summer and fun, friends, and playing are associated with foods and smells. It would be difficult to find an adult born in the 1970's who doesn’t remember eating Pop Rocks. But how many of them have eaten them recently? Giving retro candy will get them talking about the past and sharing stories you may never have heard before. You might learn about summer vacations with family whom you've never met, or hear about the first school dance while sucking on an Astro Pop. Give the gift of youth; retro candy will make them feel like a kid again.<br />
<br />
So, as you do your Christmas shopping and fret over the right gift, consider sweets for the sweet on your Christmas List. Personalize Your Celebration Year - Retro Candy Gifts and <a href="http://www.woodstockcandy.com/choose-your-year.html">see how much joy candy can bring to an adult. </a><br />

<br />
The concept of a person being "over the hill” is one that has been around for many years. The meaning of the phrase implies that once a person is a certain age, he or she has reached the peak of his or her life. Once someone reaches the peak of a hill, that person will go over it and then begin to descend. The common “over the hill” age is 40, but some people do not start referencing it until ages 50 and older.<br />
<br />
<br />
Some people do not accept aging very well, while others might embrace the occasion. Those who know someone who is approaching the over-the-hill age may want to buy that person a special gift to welcome the occasion. Over the hill birthday gifts might provide the perfect pick-me-up for a close friend, family member, boss or business associate.<br />
<br />
<br />
Types of Over the Hill Birthday Gifts<br />
<br />
A wide selection of gifts are available for a person who is entering the mature zone. A person who has an active sense of humor might enjoy a visor hat with a head full of gray hair. A person who is turning 40 years old might appreciate something that celebrates his or her year of birth by accenting it on a box filled with familiar nostalgic candies. Other types of gifts include buttons, glasses, teddy bears and more. Over-the-hill presents exist for people from age 40 and beyond.<br />
<br />
<br />
Knowing how the Person Will Respond<br />
<br />
Before purchasing this type of gift, the individual should gain insight on the recipient’s personality. Certain types of gifts for mature people could cause a birthday man or woman to become sad or sour. However, gifts that include candy are usually neutral. Therefore, a person could get away with sending this type of gift to a sensitive person. Candy has a way of changing the brain chemicals in a manner that invokes happiness.<br />
<br />
<br />
Consumers can order special birthday gifts online and have them delivered to the birthday woman or man. Another option is having them delivered to the purchaser’s home, so that he or she can deliver them personally. Whatever the birthday occasion, have fun with your "over the hill" birthday. <a href="http://www.woodstockcandy.com/over-the-hill-gifts.html">They'll love these wonderful gifts!</a>Blogging Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05674878170323611616noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760578795498277657.post-57296530157332711622013-12-10T18:25:00.000-08:002013-12-10T18:25:01.001-08:00Three Reasons Why Metal Lunch Boxes and Mugs Are Better<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHdo_NkygCbhRu3QmG3aKM-6INrZca2CWoYwzW1KSBTPjlsuS8019hD1OQ02VnRObG4lytYkiZEhOZsM0E_13XbfL6CPWgl04gIOFaDSpbACBOI1Fv8aBPOGSAe5wuZAmvvuTqZggqZKpr/s1600/1.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHdo_NkygCbhRu3QmG3aKM-6INrZca2CWoYwzW1KSBTPjlsuS8019hD1OQ02VnRObG4lytYkiZEhOZsM0E_13XbfL6CPWgl04gIOFaDSpbACBOI1Fv8aBPOGSAe5wuZAmvvuTqZggqZKpr/s320/1.gif" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Metal lunch boxes and mugs come in a variety of shapes and designs. They compete with their plastic and cloth cousins, and they are often hard to find at typical retailers. Some people, however, still believe in them and insist that they are better than any other type of lunch box.<br />
<br />
1. Versatility<br />
<br />
The metal version of lunch boxes and mugs are often more versatile than any other type of box. They can be used to carry lunch whether it's hot or cold. Metal naturally holds heat or cold and will often be found in their plastic counterparts anyway. After the lunch box is no longer used for food, it can be used for storage. It packs away easily with others of its kind - it can stack in closets or storage areas quite compactly.<br />
<br />
2. Style<br />
<br />
The metal lunch boxes come in a variety of styles, as do the mugs. Since metal is easy to paint, an owner can purchase any design on the side of the box or mug. Metal boxes and mugs have been used for decades so they bear the markings of decades of hobbies and popular culture. Whether vintage or brand new, metal holds its picture and will match everyone's unique style.<br />
<br />
3. Time Tested<br />
<br />
As mentioned before, metal boxes and mugs will last for a very long time. This makes them timeless pieces to be used generation after generation. While plastic may crack and cloth may tear, metal barely shows the wounds of time and will be a constant companion for many years. Purchasing a metal box for lunch or mug for a drink is not only a one-time purchase; it is an investment which could last a lifetime.<br />
<br />
Metal boxes and mugs for midday meals are timeless, versatile and stylish. It is smart and safe to have these on hand for everyday use or for safe storage. Every household should <a href="http://www.woodstockcandy.com/metal-lunch-box.html">have one on hand for every member of the family.</a>Blogging Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05674878170323611616noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760578795498277657.post-10089089213142816592013-12-09T20:29:00.000-08:002013-12-09T20:29:00.106-08:00Have Fun Giving Retro Candy This Holiday Season<br />

<br />

Sometimes finding the right gift for someone can be difficult to find. A good gift should have several important qualities. A gift should be something the recipient will like. It should also be something the gift receiver can use that fits their tastes. Deciding what to give someone else can take some time and thought.<br />
<br />
One of the best items to give are sweet treats. Most people like candy, cakes and other tasty foods. If someone you know and want to gift enjoys sweets, a box of candy is the ideal present. Candy has several advantages. It will keep for a long period of time. Candy also comes in many different varieties so you can find a type of candy for nearly anyone's taste. If your friend likes very sweet candies mints are ideal. If your friend or loved one prefers something less sweet, tarter candies like lemon drops make an excellent gift idea.<br />
<br />
If your friends like a mixture of candies, consider buying them retro nostalgic candy gift baskets boxes. Retro refers to candies that are a from a different era. A retro candy box will help bring back pleasant memories of candies they may not have tasted in years. A nostalgic taste of something they haven't thought about in years can remind them of their days as a young man or woman in high school. A candy box or gift basket is also ideal because it contains many different types of candies. If they don't like one type of candy, they will have many others to choose from.<br />
<br />
A candy box or basket can also be easily shared with others. A gift like this can be shared with someone's children who may not have sampled certain candies. The gift recipient can explain the candies to his children and thus help them get insights into his own childhood. A gift basket of candies that are not often encountered today can also be shared with someone who is not from the local area.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5eUUqqZrycCbpGLOqrndg_Whehyphenhyphenyt_nLC8fZ6lcdBOf9qHBcmUIt-Oo6sUROt4TipyIjSmhRk5Y38iikFgWsC_fGlPe7ulm7Z43lDrVPq5eq-sDvWUQ46OHDsA3vl-RQhotQflQjpVtAB/s1600/1.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5eUUqqZrycCbpGLOqrndg_Whehyphenhyphenyt_nLC8fZ6lcdBOf9qHBcmUIt-Oo6sUROt4TipyIjSmhRk5Y38iikFgWsC_fGlPe7ulm7Z43lDrVPq5eq-sDvWUQ46OHDsA3vl-RQhotQflQjpVtAB/s320/1.gif" width="320" /></a></div>
Surprise, surprise! A wrapped gift box was left on the dining room table. The sweet aroma is clearly recognizable…candy!<br />
These sweet scents bring back memories of some of the most popular candies of the 1950’s. They were purchased back in the day from supermarkets, the ice cream parlors, or the neighborhood corner store.<br />
<br />
When the gift box is unwrapped the reminiscing begins. Mmmm… the Baby Ruths, Almond Joy's, Snickers, Hershey's Chocolate Bars with Almonds, and the Mr. Goodbars are all candies mixed with peanuts or almonds and then coated or dipped in sweet smooth chocolate. They’re an ingenious way to satisfy both cravings. The 3 Musketeers Bars, Hershey Chocolate Bars, Hershey Kisses are only a few of the chocolate sensations that make the tummy yummy and the lips curl into a satisfied smile.<br />
<br />
The boxes of Lemon Head candy, Sour Cherries, Jolly Ranchers and Sweetarts were a joy to see displayed on the shelf behind the store counter. Those were the good times, eating them by the handful. The tart flavors mixed with the sweet ones make the mouth tingle.<br />
<br />
The candy necklaces and bracelets were in between the Wack-O-Wax Lips and the Gum Drops. Eating them while having fun with your friends was such a cool thing to do. The Swizzle sticks, Blow Pops, Candy Buttons on paper, Pixy Stix and the Flav-R-Straws taste real swell too. Remember the great 'sugar high? Now days it’s called a 'sugar rush'.<br />
<br />
One of the most famous candy's on a stick is the world renown Tootsie Roll Pop. This is the champion of lollipops because it has two candies in one. A flavored hard candy shell of cherry, orange, pineapple, grape and other flavors, and in the middle of the Tootsie Pop was a chewy chocolate center. Trying to take the time to lick the candy shell down to the chocolate center is often difficult. The outer shell of the Tootsie Roll Pop is so delightfully delicious. Biting the shell and mixing it with the chocolate candy center is called a 'smooth move'.<br />
Wait, these candies have even more company. The Chocolate and Vanilla Turkish Taffy, the Sugar Daddy, known as the 'all day sucker' are long lasting candies that you can enjoy for more than just a few minutes.<br />
<br />
Looking for a soft candy to pop in the mouth and roll around on the tongue enjoying their rich flavor? There are so many to choose from, but Gum Drops, Dots, JUJUBES, still delight the taste buds and join the popular list of sweet confections.<br />
<br />
The popular candy in the 1950's is as great now as it was back then. Are you ready for another treat? Butter Mints, Peppermints and Chocolate mints melt on the tongue. These mouth watering sweeties leave the mouth cool and the breath refreshed.<br />
<br />
To make the taste buds and tongue dance to a different tune, keep in mind that Red Hots and Fire Balls will do the trick.<br />
<br />
Memories are wonderful when coupled with the sweet temptations of these fine 1950’s candies. Share them, and a memory, with a friend, or better yet, share them with a grandchild for the first time. <a href="http://www.woodstockcandy.com/nostalgia-candy-50s.html">Watch their eyes get big, and their smiles light their face, as they take their first bite!</a><br />

The 60's were a great time in American culture. There were so many big events that took place during this era that made the US what it is today. From the music, to political events, to new technologies, the 60's are time that so many of us will never forget. It is fun to go back and take a look at fun facts about the 60 s. There are many fun facts about the 60's that really made this decade stand out.<br />
<br />
There were so many advancements in the 1960's. John Glenn was the first astronaut to orbit the earth, traveling our orbit 7 times. The first US rocket landed on the moon, and John Glenn was there as well. This was a huge step for the US in the cold war space race against the Russians. This whole space race was started with the launch and orbit of Russian space satellite Sputnik.<br />
<br />
There were many different things that made the average American, the middle class. About 90 percent of the American population finally owned a television set. The minimum wage was set at $1.25 an hour. It was so much different than the minimum wage of our day and age. The median family income was also 6,000 dollars a year. This is almost the median income of families every month in 2013.<br />
<br />
New technologies took Americans by storm in the 60's. One of the greatest new technologies was color Polaroid film. This film developed in just about one minute, giving the first instant photography to those who were taking photos. We are much luckier now with digital cameras which can take a photo and we can instantly see the results. The new advancements of television gave opportunities for individuals and families to see what they have never seen before. First lady Jackie Kennedy gave a virtual tour of the white house to Americans over TV. Over 46 million Americans tuned in for this tour of the white house.<br />
<br />
There were also many firsts in the 60s. The first Wal-Mart store was opened, which has now turned into a retailer mega store. The first K mart was also opened. In Houston, plastic surgeons used the first silicone breast implant on a human. The first Beatles record was released. It was their single, "Love me Do." A musical revolution started and much of it is considered the sound of legends like no other. Does anyone remember Woodstock? Rumor has it, that if you said yes to this question, that you weren't there!<br />
<br />
Things sure did cost a lot less back in the day. A semesters worth of tuition at Harvard cost just around $1,000 and now a days it would cost around $30,000. A new car would cost just around $2,500, where as a new car now is going to run you around $25,000.<br />
<br />
Life seemed to be much simpler back in the 60's. Things weren't so complicated with so many different fast paced options. It was much easier to live a simple life and feel satisfied. Life was more basic, but modernization was on it's way. There wasn't really any big new thing you had to get every week, at least by today’s standards. The 60's were such a great time.<br />

Birthdays tend to become less exciting as we become older, but those decade milestones are difficult not to try to make special. A 70th birthday certainly is cause to celebrate, and if you are giving that 70 year old in your life a party, look for some 70th birthday party favor ideas.<br />
<br />
If you really want to bring a sparkle to the birthday girl's or boy's eyes, see if you can find some candy from their childhood. If you look, you will be able to find candy from the 1940's that we don't usually see in the stores today. They will be surprised to munch on a candy cigarette like they did as a tot. Boston baked beans to us is a 4th of July side dish, but to them it was a delicious candy treat. Some packages have up to 40 different kinds of candy especially chosen from their generation. A gift like this is sure to make them smile. After sampling some themselves, they can pass it out to their friends to share as party favors.<br />
<br />
Other things to consider to help lighten the atmosphere of a 70th birthday would be some funky shaped glasses. You can get some with a seven over one eye and a zero over the other. There won't be any confusion over who is the birthday boy or girl at that party.<br />
<br />
Another option for a fun party would be an entertaining centerpiece. You could find a fun bear that can sing and dance to Happy Birthday. If you want something edible and nostalgic, consider a bowl filled with candy from the 1940's. The guest of honor is sure to have some friends that would find great memories in that bowl. Another great way to inspire memories is to play music from their youth. Try to find out who their favorite musicians were when they were younger and have some songs ready at the party. It will certainly help bring them back.<br />
<br />
Finally use some pictures to help them remember great times. Whether you do a poster, have a screen scrolling through some youthful images or create a scrapbook, pictures are a wonderful way to help your birthday guests celebrate.<br />
<br />
Making a 70 year old's birthday special doesn't have to be difficult. Look to bring up good memories through candies they can't find today, music from their youth and pictures of good memories. Have fun centerpieces and gag glasses to make them laugh. Most of all, spending time with him or her and their friends will help <a href="http://www.woodstockcandy.com/70th-birthday-party-favors.html">create the best memory of all</a>.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For some of our family and friends it is simple to know just what to buy them for Christmas or a special birthday. However, for some people, figuring out just what to get them to make their day special can be a real challenge. Maybe you are not sure what they want or maybe they just seem to have everything. Coming up with the right idea can be downright mind boggling. A fun idea for a unique and special birthday gift is candy! Candy birthday gifts are the perfect idea to please anyone with a sweet tooth. They are easy to send, easy to customize and fun for anyone.<br />
<br />
Candy birthday gifts are unique<br />
<br />
While we have all heard of flowers or balloons as a birthday gift, many of us have not considered candy. Very few people have received a basket of delicious, sweet candy as a treat on their special day. Choosing to send candy as a birthday present will be something new and exciting for someone you love. It will be a fun surprise.<br />
<br />
It is a gift for anyone<br />
<br />
Although it is especially fun to send a candy birthday present to a loved one this is also a gift that can be sent to someone you do not know well. A work associate, a far away relative or someone you are just getting to know; these are all people who would enjoy the gift of candy.<br />
<br />
Candy Christmas gifts can be specialized for each person<br />
<br />
A great aspect of sending candy for a Christmas gift is how customizable a candy gift can be. You can create a basket of sweet treats or a bouquet of lollipops. Perhaps your best friend loves nothing better than chocolate. Then gourmet chocolates would be a perfect gift. For a milestone birthday a box of nostalgic candies that takes your loved one back to their youth can be a very special idea.<br />
<br />
Candy is easy to send<br />
<br />
If your loved one lives far away candy is the perfect way to say how much you care. It can be sent almost anywhere and is easy to deliver. Because it doesn’t have the restrictions of flowers or a fruit basket a candy birthday gift is easy to send to someone you love.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.woodstockcandy.com/">Candy is just downright fun</a><br />
<br />
The best part of the gift of candy is how fun it is. Flowers only last a few days and fruit baskets lack fun. Candy is something almost everyone can enjoy and it can last several weeks. That way your loved one can enjoy it for long after their birthday has come and gone. Each day they can enjoy a piece of candy you specifically chose for them and remember how much you love them.<br />

Giving nostalgic gifts can ignite feelings and memories of when a person was a child. When a person is reminded of their younger life it can be one of the greatest feelings in the world. It can take them back into a time that will forever now be associated with you. Giving something like that is a gift that will go miles. Giving something like this can be great on any day, but holidays are always the absolute best times for this. With days like Christmas coming up giving things such as a person's favorite candy that they grew up eating can be an excellent way to remind them how much you care and how much you remember the things they love.<br />
<br />
Nostalgic gifts can be a great connection to what a person feels. Studies have shown that feelings of nostalgia can increase empathy due to them standing as a reminder that life was to them, much happier at one point. It should take the person back to a simpler time that makes them feel warmth and happiness and takes them away from the stress and harshness of their standard living. This all generally leaves people more open to doing things for others and being willing to see all sides of things rather than just their side. People will quickly come to love you if you should get them the right nostalgic gift.<br />
There are many great ideas to take someone back down memory road with. Earlier mentioned was the option of favorite childhood candies but things such as a trip to somewhere they often visited when they were younger, watching a childhood movie with them, or finding their old photo collection and putting it together so that they can visually stroll down their past are all great way ways to connect and make a person feel like they're young again. These gifts aren't just gifts they're a complete series of emotion that allow someone to see themselves in an old light temporarily.<br />
<br />
Giving someone the perfect nostalgic gift can be a tender and oftentimes difficult task but if you care about someone enough and you know enough to get them something special you'll get their thanks in a way that is better than any gift could ever hope to be. They'll never forget how you took them back to their beginnings, and you'll never forget the smile that came with that feeling. Good luck with your <a href="http://www.woodstockcandy.com/">nostalgic gifts</a> and let it be the gift that makes your loved one the happiest.<br />

<br />The Barbie doll came out in 1958. Ruth Handler, a co-founder of the Mattel Company, named the doll for her daughter, Barbie. The Barbie doll was designed to be a dimensional type of paper doll for dressing up with pretty clothes.<br /><br />Play Doh was designed as a non-toxic wallpaper cleaner that was reusable in 1955. That year, Play Doh was used as a harmless substitute for clay for modeling. The McVicker brothers manufactured Play Doh under Rainbow Crafts Company. At first, Play Doh came in white only but now it comes in many bright colors.<br /><br />In 1870, William Russel Frisbie, a baker, put the family surname on the reusable pie plates with the hope that when a housewife saw his name, she would want to buy a ready made pie and not bake a pie. In the 1940's, Yale students starting throwing and catching the Frisbie pie tins. In the 1950's, William Frederick Morrison made a disk shaped like a saucer and sold his idea to Wham-O which sold the disks. The president of Wham-O saw the pie plates being thrown and caught at Yale. Upon his return to California, he renamed the plastic disks. The second “i” was changed to an”e”, thus the name Frisbee. The Frisbee is still a very popular toy.<br /><br />When on a trip to Australia, a friend of the president of Wham-O saw children turning bamboo hoops about their waists while exercising. In 1958,Wham-O produced 15 million hula hoops in bright colors.<br /><br />After much perseverance George Lerner made Mr. Potato Head a favorite toy. Lerner first created plastic face parts to be put on fruits and vegetables. The toy companies thought that parents would be too cautious about using food to play with after World War II. Lerner sold his plastic toys to a cereal company. He didn't give up on his idea. Lerner pitched his idea to Hasbro which was a small company at that time. After buying back his plastic face parts from the cereal company, Hasbro advertised Mr. Potato Head on television in 1952. At first, the Mr. Potato Head toy used a potato for the plastic face parts.

<b><br />Sweets For The Sweet</b><br />
<br />
Show Grandma she's sweeter than candy with a unique gift of her favorite childhood confections. There are online companies who have packaged selections ready to go or you can assemble your own. Some of the candies she may have enjoyed are Squirrel Food, Nik-L-Nips, Now & Later, Necco Wafers, Black Cow, Sugar Daddy, crystallized rock candy swizzle sticks, wax lips, Mary Janes, Peppermint Sticks, Pixie Sticks, Candy Cigarettes, Double Bubble Gum, Smarties, Spree, Violets, Teaberry Gum, Chicklets Gum, Candy Lipstick, Candy Necklace, Atomic Fireballs, Red Hots, Jujyfruit, Bubble Gum Cigars, Lemonheads, Chick-o-Stick, Lifesavers, Milk Maid Caramels, Hershey Bars and Kisses, Sixlets, and SweeTarts.<br />
<br />
Get extras to give as party favors so everyone can sample the sweets. Enlist someone to videotape or write down her memories about her favorite childhood candies and why she liked them. Make them into a scrapbook with photos of the party for a special Christmas gift later.<br />
<br />
<b>A Birthday Card To Remember</b><br />
<br />
When it comes to birthday cards, the White House will send one at no charge, signed by the President and First Lady, to U.S. citizens 80 and over. Plan ahead because it takes months to process a request for this special card.<br />
<br />
<b>Cover Her Coffee</b><br />
<br />
Does Grandma regularly meet with friends for coffee or breakfast? Surprise her with a gift card from her favorite cafe or doughnut shoppe. If you can splurge, get one for enough to cover 80 cups of coffee or her favorite beverage.<br />
<br />
<b>Quilt a Keepsake</b><br />
<br />
Assemble a keepsake quilt, where each family member is invited to make their own square. It does not have to be fancy. Provide a list of preferred fabrics and mediums such as traditional quilt squares in a pattern and cotton calico of their choosing, embroidered and cross-stitched designs on aida cloth or solid cottons, or let them choose their own. Make sure they stitch their name or initials, the year, and their relation to Grandma, such as sister, niece, or great-grandson, onto their square. Invite family to come for a quilting bee. Enlist someone to compile everyone's favorite stories about Grandma into a pretty scrapbook to give with the finished quilt. Quilt shoppes have experienced quilters who can finish this warm-hearted gift if none in the family knows how.<br />
<br />
<b>Secret Surprises</b><br />
<br />
Invite party guests to bring 80 of an item. Either make a list they can choose from or make it a wildcard of secret surprises they can think of on their own. Younger kids can bring 80 coins of a kind; teens can bring 80 coins collected from the year Grandma was born. Adults could bring 80 of any combination of paper currency, lottery scratch-off tickets, or Grandma's favorite penny candies.<br />
