WE LOVE VINTAGE VALENTINE CANDY BOXES AND MORE

Yes indeed. Time flies....Valentine's Day will be here before you know it....and yep, we admit it. We love vintage Valentine candy boxes...and sometimes EVEN more than the contents!

Whether they're whimsical or elaborately decked out in lace and ribbons...Heart shaped preferred of course but not absolutely necessary...Here are some of our favorite links:

  1. I remember buying my mother a heart shaped bottle of perfume for fifty nine cents. I also remember a tiny Whitman box of chocolate cherry bon bons for fifty cents. Maybe four in the box. The woman offered to wrap up both in pink tissue paper with a ribbon. Those were the days.
