Oops! We have officially run out of room already! Our dilemma means a good deal for you! From now until Friday, the 13th, we are offering these beautiful sets of four initial tidbit trays at 20% off.
They are regularly $24.99, and from now till our Triskadekaphobia sale, they're only $19.99 a set. Come one, come all.....get 'em while the gettin's good! They are from the same company (Mud Pie) that we love so much, and today while re-arranging our display shelves to make room for all the Christmas merchandise, we realized we don't have enough room to show them off or store them, so they're on sale. Hope you'll be by to take a look at all the coordinating pieces, too! Happy November everyone!

Christmas Countdown

Can you believe there are only 45 more shopping days till Christmas? That's if you don't go shopping on Sunday, which you probably won't this year, because The Candy Basket is not going to be open on Sundays this holiday season.

With our various health issues and over-worked staff, we decided to give ourselves a present this season - Sundays! A day to rest....yea!

BUT...when you want to shop Monday-Saturday at The Candy Basket, here are a couple of neat, inexpensive ideas for those folks who are hard to buy for.....

These super cool initial ornaments pictured above come packed in their own little houses! What a great gift for just about anyone! As long as you know the initial their names start with, we can fix you up with gifts for all those 'difficult' people!

Teachers, hostesses, family members...these are just some of the people for whom these ornaments would fit the bill.

These cute little packages are actually high-quality absorbent paper coasters, packaged to look like ornaments! They also perfect for hostess gifts, or for anyone that doesn't need a single thing!

Both of these are from one of our favorite companies - Mud Pie.
We've been buying from them for about 20 years, from when they were first selling gold leaf ceramics! Now they've emerged to be one of our top selling companies to work with, thanks in part to their impressive monogrammed selections. We're delighted to offer their fine products for everyday and for Holiday.

I did a post several months ago about the popularity of their vast initial items - glass trays, ceramic cheese trays, wooden cutting boards, glass decanters, wine glasses, etc.
Well, they've come out with way too many new cute holiday items, and we carefully selected these (plus a few others) for you to purchase this season.

They're affordable, tasteful, and ready to go. Packaging is top notch, and product is even better!

Remember - only 45 shopping days left at The Candy Basket, where we're more than just a candy store!

September Santa!

Santa's coming for a September Sale! Starts Wednesday....runs through Saturday. Lots of Christmas items for sale...up to half off some! We hope you'll stop by and pick up some of these early bargains. We need to make room for more!

Gone in 60 Seconds!

Actually, that's the name of a wonderful dip we are sampling all day Saturday!
The name says it all...it really is fab, and once you start eating it, it's hard to stop!

We got the recipe from the Prairie Gypsies, a trio of talented Oklahoma epicureans who have a thriving business in the metro area. They also produce the fantastic Red Hot Lover Pepper Jam. We have been selling their products, including this incredible hot jam for several years. It's great with cream cheese, too, but we like to go the extra mile and do the "Gone in 60 Seconds" dip.

Tomorrow (Saturday, the 5th), we're sampling this dip/jam combo until it's gone, and if you come in and mention that you saw this on our blog, we'll give you 20% off the price of the jam (regularly $6.99). This is just what you'll want to have on hand tomorrow evening for the OU season opener!

See y'all Saturday!

My mouth is watering just LOOKING at the pictures of these fabulous Godiva truffles which are arriving tomorrow!
They are the tried and true Pumpkin Spice truffle, which is like eating (really good) pumpkin pie in a Godiva chocolate crust.....the new Black Raspberry truffle, with a wonderful tart raspberry and sweet Godiva white and milk chocolate shell...and their newest Autumnal offering - a Cinnamon Pear truffle!
You'll have to wait for us to do some, um, quality control, of course! After our staff has sampled and deemed delicious, we'll have these fabulous fall truffles available to you by the piece or we can pack you a box.

Come and get 'em!
