60’s Decade Box Gift Basket - Classic 60’s Candy

Last week I reviewed a gift basket of candy from the 1950s and as should be no surprise this week I am taking a look at one from the 60s. As a child of the 60s and 70s I can relate to this one much better and I am very excited to see what it has in store.

This gift basket was voted “#1 Nostalgic Candy Collection” by the Wall Street Journal’s Catalog Critic and comes with over 30 full-size pieces of candy from the 1960s - five pounds worth!

Here is a sampling of the candy that comes in this gift basket:

Jiffy Pop, Cup-o-Gold, Nik-L-Nip Wax Bottles, Wonka Bottlecaps, Pixy Stix, Goobers, Boston Baked Beans, Chuckles, Charms Ass’t Squares, Candy Buttons, Necco Wafers Chocolate, Cherry Mash, Necco Wafers Ass’t, Razzles, Oh! Henry Bar, Bubble Gum Cigar, Charms Sweet Pop, Zotz, Bubble Gum Cigarettes, Smoothie Peanut Butter Cups, C Howard Violet Mints, Marshmallow Cones, Candy Stix Cigarettes, Gold Mine Nugget Bubble Gum, Wax Lips, Goetze’s Cow Tail, Fruit Stripe Gum, Sen-Sen Breath Refreshment, Cherryheads, Black Licorice Pipe, Skybar, Slo-Poke Jr. Sucker, 5 Flavor Lifesavers, Big Hunk, Vanilla French Chew Taffy, Clark Bar, Chocolate Cigarettes, Maple Bun Bar

A lot of this candy takes me back, but not as much as I expect the 70s basket will. There better be Now & Laters in that one!

Here are some reviews from happy buyers:

This was a great gift for my wife and children. They really enjoyed the candies of yesteryear. Much candy for the price, also.

If you were a child of the 1960s or you know someone who was I think this gift basket would make a great treat.
