THE STORY BEHIND "LOVE"
For many years a man watched his wife take a locked box down from the cupboard. She would unlock the box,
take a pinch, sprinkle it over whatever she was cooking, relock the box and return it to its place. One day, while
his wife was away, his curiosity got the best of him. He went to the cupboard, took the box down and opened it.
To his surprise it was empty! He turned it over and on the bottom was written the word "LOVE".So, though not in
your recipe book, into everything you cook, put in a big pinch of "LOVE". Keep your "LOVE" within easy reach and
use generously.

The Marble Story
A friend of mine once said to me, this marble is for you.
Cause I was sure I had lost all of mine, when life became so blue.
For now I know despite the odds, my marbles may be few.
But this friend of mine reminded me, life can be wonderful too.
So here's a marble just for you, and only for some fun.
So when you think you've "lost your marbles", you know you have at least one.
You can fasten a marble to a card with the poem printed on it and give it to your friend

This is sized to go on the baseball card protection sleeve little bags. I put white confetti, Mylar snowflakes, and

Here is the verse:
We looked out our window and to our surprise,

My sis and I got our coats and bundled up tight,
then we ran outside right into the night.
We stood there in awe wondering what to do
as the amount of snow just grew and grew.
We realized the magic right before our eyes,
each snowflake that fell was a wish from the skies.
We've gathered some snowflakes just for you,
sprinkle them around and all of your wishes will come true.

CANDY GRAMS
CANDY GRAM PRESENTATION
e-book://Pages/gift_basket_ideas.htm 2/16/2003
GIFT BASKET IDEAS of 105
You can present the candy grams in various ways. I usually make a label that will fit around a quart sized paint
can, attach the label, then put Styrofoam in the bottom of the can. I use the wooden skewers and clear packing
tape. Tape a skewer to each candy bar/item. Then insert them at varying heights into the can. This becomes a
bouquet. I usually add curly ribbon, or balloons or decorations depending on the occasion. You can also decorate
a large terra cotta pot....insert the Styrofoam and set the candy on the skewers into the pot....making an
arrangement. Then you will need to print the "gram" out on your computer. I usually tape that to a skewer too, and
insert that into the pot along with the bars. You can also get foam core board, and handprint out the gram. (in
large lettering) Gluing the actual candy bar to the place in the sentence instead of the name of the candy bar.
These are really unusual gifts, and generally cause quite a conversation piece.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Candy Gram Packaging Ideas
You can do them alot of different ways.
1. Stuff the mentioned candy bars in an empty 2 liter pop bottle, and make a new lable for it with the "gram" on it.
(Label covers the slit you make to put the stuff inside) Add some ribbon at the top on the lid.
2. Use an empty clean new paint can (from home improvement centers). And make a label with the "Gram" on it,
and put the contents inside sticking out with tissue also sticking out...or put all the contents inside and close the lid
on them..with another graphic on the lid.
3. Glue them all on a piece of thin foamcore board, or poster board, with the candy glue gunned down where the
words would be. It is sort of a giant "Gram"
4. Put everything in any kind of containter, that has a card or tag attached with the "gram" on it...This could be a
basket, a pail, an empty large jar...anything. Decorate the container appropriately fo the occasion. Examples
would be for a little boy--a childs toy truck with the candies in the back part...you could even bundle them all up in
tulle and set them in the back of the dump truck, or cover the back of the dump truck with syran wrap and add a
bow, and the gram card. OR a nice basket with the candies, and perhaps even a little potted flower tucked in the
middle of the candies for Mother..Wrap the whole basket in netting and add a big colorful bow and the card with
the gram. OR a BABY gram could be a little doll bassinet....etc...you get the idea.

GETTING MARRIED CANDY GRAM
I arranged everything in a big planter, and attached the following letter...
Dear (_____):
I wish you and (groom) the Best of Luck and much fortune in the years to come. However....before you "Pledge"
your eternal love, there are a few things you should know about the man you are soon to marry.
First of all, the "Son of a Gun" will always be looking for a "Bit o Honey" and a bit of "Almond Joy". He will not be
content to just "Snuggle" and "Carress". He will expect you to "Shout" with "Joy" each time you make Whoopee.
But make sure you never shout out "Oh Henry." Believe me, sometimes it will take "Sheer Endurance" and maybe
a few "Nips" to hold back the "Snickers" when he offers to show you his "Babe Ruth."
Secondly, you are absolutely, positively NOT allowed to get "Chunky" or he will be sure to "Vanish" in a "Jif"!
And Thirdly, probably the most important of all...If you want to "Stayfree" from all that "Baby Magic" for a little
while, it will be up to YOU to "Safeguard" yourself. DO NOT leave it up to old "Butterfinger", because he'll just
"Squirt (&Mop)" on his way to the "Milky Way".
Don't let this scare you though, because (groom) is really a "Fantastic" guy and not a "Nerd" who will always
make your life a "Symphony." Even if he isn't "Mr. Clean."
Here's wishing you a life that is a "Breeze" with nothing but "Joy." That your love never goes out with the "Tide,"
and you make "Fab"ulous money, so you can afford a maid so your hands stay "Chiffon" soft.
"Sunlight" and "Cheer"

You can present the candy grams in various ways. I usually make a label that will fit around a quart sized paint
can, attach the label, then put Styrofoam in the bottom of the can. I use the wooden skewers and clear packing
tape. Tape a skewer to each candy bar/item. Then insert them at varying heights into the can. This becomes a
bouquet. I usually add curly ribbon, or balloons or decorations depending on the occasion. You can also decorate
a large terra cotta pot....insert the Styrofoam and set the candy on the skewers into the pot....making an
arrangement. Then you will need to print the "gram" out on your computer. I usually tape that to a skewer too, and
insert that into the pot along with the bars. You can also get foam core board, and handprint out the gram. (in
large lettering) Gluing the actual candy bar to the place in the sentence instead of the name of the candy bar.
These are really unusual gifts, and generally cause quite a conversation piece.

Candy Gram Packaging Ideas
You can do them alot of different ways.
1. Stuff the mentioned candy bars in an empty 2 liter pop bottle, and make a new lable for it with the "gram" on it.
(Label covers the slit you make to put the stuff inside) Add some ribbon at the top on the lid.
2. Use an empty clean new paint can (from home improvement centers). And make a label with the "Gram" on it,
and put the contents inside sticking out with tissue also sticking out...or put all the contents inside and close the lid
on them..with another graphic on the lid.
3. Glue them all on a piece of thin foamcore board, or poster board, with the candy glue gunned down where the
words would be. It is sort of a giant "Gram"
4. Put everything in any kind of containter, that has a card or tag attached with the "gram" on it...This could be a
basket, a pail, an empty large jar...anything. Decorate the container appropriately fo the occasion. Examples
would be for a little boy--a childs toy truck with the candies in the back part...you could even bundle them all up in
tulle and set them in the back of the dump truck, or cover the back of the dump truck with syran wrap and add a
bow, and the gram card. OR a nice basket with the candies, and perhaps even a little potted flower tucked in the
middle of the candies for Mother..Wrap the whole basket in netting and add a big colorful bow and the card with
the gram. OR a BABY gram could be a little doll bassinet....etc...you get the idea.

Candy Gram
The RIESEN for this greeting, is to wish you a CAREFREE holiday season. Don't go NUTS while you are fighting
the MOUNDS of people all shopping at the last minute. Take some time to enjoy the SYMPHONY of voices from
the carolers, or enjoy a SWEET ESCAPE on me. Don't worry about getting CHUNKY on all those holiday treats
either. There will be GOOD and PLENTY time to worry about that after the holidays. Even though the road
leading to Christmas may be a ROCKY ROAD.....just think of all the ALMOND JOY you will receive when your
friends/family see how well they SKORed with all those gifts. Don't be a BUTTERFINGER unwrapping all of them.
And get that BIG HUNK of yours to be a LIFESAVER and make you a cup of TEA. Sit back, relax and may your
PEANUT BUTTER CUP overflow with SPECIAL TREASURES of holiday memories.

Candy gram for teachers:
Dear Mrs(teacher's name):
I have to admit, (student's name) did not exactly shake her (POM POMS) when she found out she had you for a
teacher. Rumor had it that your gave out (MOUNDS) of homework. But when she actually saw how much you did
give, she thought her eyes were playing (TWIX) on her! It was (GOOD & PLENTY) and she thought you were
(NUTRAGEOUS)!! It turns out that you were a (LIFESAVER), because her (SKOR)'s were so high, I thought I had
(DOTS) in front of my eyes!! So, as our thanks to you, we are going to go to Mr. (WHATCHAMACALLIT) (the
principal) and ask him to give you a bonus of, let's say (100 GRAND), on (PAYDAY) for being such a Great
Teacher! Have a (CAREFREE) Summer, and here's a few (NIPS) for you to enjoy either (NOW OR LATER),
(HUGS & KISSES)
Love,
Your Name

Dad's Day candy gram
Dear (Sugar) Daddy,
You are the best dad in the whole Milky Way, even though you are from Mars and I'm from Venus. You Skor high
points as a dad....don't Snicker(s). When you were born there was a Symphony in heaven! Your Hot Tamale(s),
Mom, still thinks you are a Big Hunk. I wish I could take you on a shopping Spree on 5th Avenue in New York
(Peppermint Patty), but they don't have Builders Square there because they're Nerds.
Love you Mounds,
Your Nut (Roll)

GETTING MARRIED CANDY GRAM
I arranged everything in a big planter, and attached the following letter...
Dear (_____):
I wish you and (groom) the Best of Luck and much fortune in the years to come. However....before you "Pledge"
your eternal love, there are a few things you should know about the man you are soon to marry.
First of all, the "Son of a Gun" will always be looking for a "Bit o Honey" and a bit of "Almond Joy". He will not be
content to just "Snuggle" and "Carress". He will expect you to "Shout" with "Joy" each time you make Whoopee.
But make sure you never shout out "Oh Henry." Believe me, sometimes it will take "Sheer Endurance" and maybe
a few "Nips" to hold back the "Snickers" when he offers to show you his "Babe Ruth."
Secondly, you are absolutely, positively NOT allowed to get "Chunky" or he will be sure to "Vanish" in a "Jif"!
And Thirdly, probably the most important of all...If you want to "Stayfree" from all that "Baby Magic" for a little
while, it will be up to YOU to "Safeguard" yourself. DO NOT leave it up to old "Butterfinger", because he'll just
"Squirt (&Mop)" on his way to the "Milky Way".
Don't let this scare you though, because (groom) is really a "Fantastic" guy and not a "Nerd" who will always
make your life a "Symphony." Even if he isn't "Mr. Clean."
Here's wishing you a life that is a "Breeze" with nothing but "Joy." That your love never goes out with the "Tide,"
and you make "Fab"ulous money, so you can afford a maid so your hands stay "Chiffon" soft.
"Sunlight" and "Cheer"

NURSES candy gram
Nurses are an ALMOND JOY to have around when you are feeling under the weather. They work NUTRAGEOUS
hours to see that our loved ones are taken care of GOOD & PLENTY and on their MILKY WAY to recovery.
They soothe away RED HOTS fevers with just a gentle touch, and show MOUNDS of kindness to their patients
each day. They never forget that sometimes a little SNICKER is the best medicine. They have to remain calm,
