Best of … sweets and treats by mail

Contributed by Tim Brugger, Catalogs.com Top 10 Guru

The Holidays – actually ANY days – are all about giving, loving your fellow man and serious sweets and treats.

It’s nearly impossible to open the front door, sign a little form, receive a box of goodies and not feel just a bit merrier than you did before. And if you are mailing ordering sweets at random times during the year, they will arrive with the element of surprise, and really delight the recipient!

This, of course, isn’t news and as such there are an endless number of options. To help you narrow the scope and save time during your hectic day, here are the best of sweets and treats by mail.

Wine Country Gift Baskets

Decorated cookies

Gorgeous and yummy, decorated cookies are perfect for every occasion, like these “new baby” cookies from Wine Country Gift Baskets. Send thank you cookies, congratulations cookies and “welcome spring” cookies. Then drop in for a visit. You can even bring the glass of milk!

Blair Candy

Old school

Blair Candy has an assortment of old school goodies, but their extensive online store doesn’t stop there. There are plenty of Christmas and other Holiday candy selections, like these festive lollipops. Have a choco-fanatic in the family? Blair’s can set you up with chocolate Christmas lollipops too.

Oliver Pecan

Nutty for the holidays

Pecans have slowly but surely become the favored nut of the Holidays over the decades. It must be the innate sweetness these little beauties bring the festivities. So, naturally, they should be coated in chocolate, sugar and other assorted decadent toppings. And that’s’ just what you’ll find at Oliver Pecan; this is particularly evident with their Seventh Heaven Holiday gift tin.

Savannah Candy

Toffee in a tin

Homemade toffee with a dusting of Georgia pecans; the ultimate in sweets and treats. The only thing better is a full, 14 ounce tin of homemade toffee with a dusting of Georgia pecans. Savannah Candy will be more than happy to package this up and send it that special someone for you. A little icing on this toffee cake is the knowledge that you’ll actually have some money left over for a gift or two.

Southern Candymakers

Gator goodies

Handmade and custom decorated by the patisserie chefs at Southern Candymakers, these authentic Bayou gator goodies are but one of many handcrafted sweets and treats. If you want to really dazzle friends and family, swing by Southern Candymakers and take a gander; you won’t be disappointed.
