70’s Decade Box Gift Basket - Classic 70’s Candy

After reviewing gift baskets from the 50s and 60s I finally come to a decade that I truly understand - the 70s! I have so many fond memories of eating candy when I was a child, and seeing this basket simply awakens them.

This gift basket was voted “Best Overall Value” by the Wall Street Journal’s Catalog Critic and comes with over 30 full-size pieces of candy from the 1970s - five pounds worth!

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

Nik-L-Nip Wax Bottles, Wonka Bottlecaps, Pixy Stix, Goobers, Boston Baked Beans, Sen-Sen Breath Refreshment, Charms Ass’t Squares, Candy Buttons, Necco Wafers Chocolate, Andy Capp Hot Frieds, Lik-M-Aid Fun Dip, Dubble Bubble Bubble Gum, Rocky Road Milk Chocolate, Laffy Taffy Strawberry, Lemon Mints, Black Licorice Pipe, Razzles, Bubble Gum Cigarettes, Bubble Gum Cigars, Smoothie Peanut Butter Cup, Candy Stix Cigarettes, Oh! Henry Bar, Gold Mine Nugget Gum, Wax Lips, Cherryheads, Clark Bar, Chuckles, Goetze’s Cow Tail, Slo-Poke Sucker, Sweetart, Caramel Bun Bar, Vanilla French Chew Taffy, Freshen Up Gum, Strawberry Pop Rocks, Zotz, Hershey’s Special Dark Bar, Super Rope, Chick-o-Stick, Skor Bar, A&W Root Beer Barrels,Gobstoppers.

Now I have to say that while a lot of this candy does take me back and give me great memories there are clearly some significant ones missing. For example, where are Now & Laters? Bubsdaddy? Poprocks?

Even with those omissions this is a great basket. Here is a great review from a buyer:

Want a perfect, pampering gift full of surprise’s and treats? See candy you haven’t seen in ages with this 70’s gift basket. This would be a great gift for people of all ages, especially those 70’s fanatics. This gift basket is seriously the perfect gift for anyone, who doesn’t have a sweet tooth sometime or another? Get rid of the hassle of spending hours at the mall to find absolutely nothing. Plus you won’t even know if they like it or not. This gift basket is a way to certainty. Anyone would love to receive this amazing present. Great for kids 12 and up. Birthday hassles are a thing of the past, just like the candy!

This nostalgic gift basket would make a great gift for someone you love.
