OLD-TIME CANDY

     Giving some “old-time” candy to Grandma and Grandpa for Christmas or a birthday is a great idea, but, you know, anyone over 30 can probably think of candy they’re nostalgic about. The OLD TIME CANDY site owner has figured this out already, and has “nostalgia packs” for the 1980s and before. You can send a selection, or give a gift certificate and let your loved ones pick the long-lost desires of their heart. You will note that gift certificates are listed in the lefthand column, under Other Gifts.

SLOW FOOD GUIDES

     SLOW FOOD, which is of course the opposite of fast food, lurks in hidden corners around the world. There you’ll find local delicacies that may be unknown to most people. SLOWFOODUSA.ORG sells guidebooks to slow food in various parts of the U.S. These guides are perfect gifts for the gourmet traveler. Or the gourmet nontraveler too, in the case of delicacies that can be shipped.
