Happy (nearly) Fall!

Happy Monday everyone!
Here in Knoxville TN the kids had their first day back at school. In my mind that means just one thing - fall is (nearly) here! While my AC is actually still cranking away in my mind it's already cool breezes and open windows. From a business stand point that means that we are nearing the end of needing ice packs to send chocolate bouquets, and that can only be a good thing :0)
We'ld love to send a big thank you to everyone that added those ice packs, chose air service to the far off reaches of California or Washington, and to everyone that sent a non-melting fruit candy bouquet to Arizona as no ice pack in the world can stand up to 115 degree heat!
You are fantastic customers and we salute you!
We look forward to the day when we can remove that ice pack check box, and open the $10.95 ground service back to all the states. In the mean time while we put up with these last few weeks of heat, please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Happy end of summer!

And now for the rest of February....

Before we knew it Valentine's was behind us and we have a little bit of February left to enjoy before we jump into planning our Easter gifts.

We hope you all had a fantastic Valentine's Day and would just like to take this moment to thank you, our wonderful Candy Blast customers, for another fantastic holiday. You seemed to really love our new baskets! The "My heart belongs to...." customizable bouquet sold out so fast! Next year we will definitely be ready for that one! The "Hook, Line, & Sinker" was also so popular we've decided to keep it around for a while.

As always we would love to hear from you! Let us know if you received a Valentine basket from us, if you wanted to receive one, or even if you looked on the web site but didn't quite see what you were looking for. All messages are quickly sent to the applicable members of the staff, either to let them know what a great job they are doing or to let us know what new items our customers are looking for. Please send any and all comments/questions/thoughts to me at erin@candyblast.com. I look forward to reading all of the messages, and you never know when I might send a coupon back out as a thanks for your time!

Enjoy the rest of your February everyone!
