My cousin Heather collects Coca-Cola memorabilia. She has nostalgic Coca-Cola clothing, lunchboxes, bottles, even an authentic Coca-Cola cooler where she stores – what else – Coke! Heather is also exactly one month older than me, we grew up together and spent many summers playing Barbies, softball and Candy Store. So when I found this delightful candy bouquet on one of my favorite gourmet websites, I ordered it right away for Heather’s birthday, even though it was still 6 months away!
Heather’s birthday was last week and she gave me a call right after the Coca-Cola train arrived – she was tickled by the symbolism behind the gift and my words on the gift card. Quite honestly, I had forgotten that I ordered the bouquet but was glad that I did – the order was processed and shipped exactly when I requested, the gift brought back great memories of the good old days, and the collectible train will make a great addition to Heather’s collection. I found the train filled with candy for $36 plus $8.95 shipping.
