If you know me personally... there's a few things i don't hide-- i have a big big sweet tooth.. not for just desserts...but candy!
i love candy! i especially love nostalgic candies when i was a kid and i love anything gummy! when i got a catalog from dylan's candy bar in new york.. i was in sugar heaven! i think i bought everything in the catalog! now you can have your sweet tooth too and not travel to nyc to get some dylan's candy fix!
dylan's candy also carries scented pens and erasers!
and fun gifts like these scented cupcake candles...
and take a look at this cool gel pen set.. every color has a different yummy scent.
just a little background.. dylan is the daughter of ralph lauren and she had opened up her candy boutique in nyc..it's been a big attraction for tourists and candy afficionados who want to get their sugar high on fun products that are even edible. these gummy bears in the tubes are actually erasers and have a fun scent! and check out the stationery!
stock up on these back to school items and the best ever gifts for birthdays and christmas stocking stuffers!
