We've got you all wrapped up!
The biggest weekend of the holidays is almost upon us and you know that
that means: holiday parties! You've probably been to a few already and
are scheduled for a few more, but what are you bringing the host or
hostess? How about candy as an alternative or addition to the dozens of
bottles of wine that everyone gets (whether they like it or not!).
We've got a wide range of options from grand gift boxes to simple
samplers and a lot of choice in between! Luxurious candy is a pleasant
escape during the hectic holidays and will put a smile on their lips
any time of the day or night. An assortment of cordials or malt balls
is always a hit, as are the many international bars to choose from in
the chocolate section. Tied with a satin ribbon and bagged to go, we
make it a snap to get these little to-dos off your list!
And what about the children? Gummi bears in pretty rainbow layers tied
with a ribbon are a treasured gift, or you could select from our red,
green and white candies for a festive twist. Tickle sticks, our
signature candy kabobs, are all wrapped up and ready to give. In fact,
there are many in-store options ready to give, but we're more than
happy to custom create that perfect gift in a matter of moments for you
- no one knows the recipient like you do and we love to be able to help
with suggestions and recommendations from our extensive offerings. We
can create based on colour themes, candy preferences, tastes and many
other fun factors!
Don't forget teacher! This Friday is the last day of school for most
boards - there's still time to come in and see us for a teacher's gift
that will leave them with a sweet reminder during their holiday break.

Twenty-four days of sweet gifts

We're so excited to be able to share these wonderful things with you and hope that you'll check out our blog daily (or RSS us and have the blogs delivered right to you, but then you won't see the pictures!).
Today's theme is the hand-selected gift basket. At The Candy Store you could say that the possibilities are as sweet as the recipients themselves! We lovingly custom tailor our baskets for maximum enjoyment - only the very best items makes the cut and there's no filler to disappoint once the wrapping comes off. We're Ottawa's premiere treat boutique for a reason and our gift baskets are no exception to that rule.
From teacher's gifts to secret Santa selections to coworkers and, of course, friends and loved ones, we can help you choose the right items to please anyone and also provide options for wrapping and display. Need to ship that parcel and worried about the contents? Don't fret, we'll make sure that your gift is packed up and secure before you head to the post office. Want to ad
d something special to really personalize your present? We'll gladly include anything you provide to us in your custom basket - the possibilities are endless! Is there someone on your list with special dietary concerns? We're experts on our candy and can help you choose items that are going to fit the bill. In a hurry and don't have time to hand pick all the items? We've got you covered - a variety of in-store creations await you for a quick pick-up, allowing you to cross names off your "nice" list faster than Santa's sleigh!
So this year consider giving a gift basket to those who are hard to buy for, those who have everything, those who love confections and keep an extra couple on hand for those unexpected moments where you need a gift and haven't the time to find one - our treats make everyone smile and they'll know you were thinking of them (even if in the hustle and bustle you forgot - we won't tell!).

Sweet Memories contest!
With the holiday season fast approaching, everyone is kicking into high gear and The Candy Store is no exception!
Whatever your traditions or customs, candy and sweets are sure to be a decadent and lively fixture during your festivities. And with these seasonal treats come the memories of holidays past. Maybe you fondly recall the yearly packages of goodies sent from relatives in another country, brimming with sweets that weren't available locally and tasted like home. Or perhaps it's the taste of that first candy cane of the season that puts a smile on your face. Maybe you have a special recipe handed down from loved ones that incorporates all the smells and tastes that you shared together.
At The Candy Store, we relish these sweet memories - we see them on the faces of our guests every day! We treasure the chance to hear your stories about childhood and holiday treats and are so pleased to be able to revive those memories. That's why we'd like to host a Sweet Memories contest to share those stories! Between now and the 24th of December you can comment here or send us an e-mail
info@thecandystoreottawa.ca telling us about your Sweet Memories involving candies from the holiday season. We'll comb through the entries and select one to receive a Candy Store gift card and will repost, with your permission of course, the story for all our readers to enjoy.
So pick up that memorable sweet treat for inspiration and put pen to paper (or fingers to keys!) and share your stories with us for a chance to win!
