I always send my mom and mother in law a nice arrangement of roses, two dozen mixed colors, and right now they have a special it comes with free vase and free chocolates. I wait till they have that special going on to order them. So they get the flowers that will last a while and a box of chocolates to eat up.

They do also sell just boxes of various chocolates and chocolate strawberries etc.
I get them from pro flowers online.
If anyone needs a code for pro flowers TOOLS is good for $3 off I think it is still effective.

see's candy out of los angeles, ca...the best I've ever had!

Second vote for See's. Have also ordered from Good 's. Both are excellent yummmmm.

notice the "lollypops"? they're wonderful (be aware! you can't chew!) but the coffee flavor is to die for!!

Ditto, See's!

I have used Harry & David. com

Yes, thank-you. That would be great. How thoughtful! My address is.......

Another vote for See's. I have only had a few times but it was VERY good!

Susanif......fun fact....i grew up in so cal and we went to See's all the time for the lollypops .....they were 3 for 10 cents and in those days we called them See suckers.

Enstrom's in Grand Junction, CO Available online.

Their almond chocolate toffee has been a gift staple for decades. Everyone likes it--light or dark chocolate.

They also have gourmet chocolates of various kinds.

I loves See's too. Due to warmer weather there is now a surcharge for 2 day shipping. Anyone ever get coupon codes??

I've always loved See's too, so I'm glad to see that they haven't changed and are still highly recommended!

I've received both See's and Enstrom's as gifts. Enstrom's is so much better!!!!

See's chocolates are great.

joanie so did I...in fact graduated from Hollywood hi (class of 64) every once in a while we'd walk down hollywood blvd, and stop in for them..back then the ladies in the store, wore these black dresses with white frilly aprons...

I ordered from See's. Thank you all! I just sent roses for her birthday, was thinking of something a little different for MD. Last MD was an edible arrangement of fruit dipped in chocolate. She loved that!

Angel....your mom will enjoy the chocolates. I will have to remember and try Enstrom's,,,had never heard of them.

Susan...and the stores were black and white and looked like turn of the century ice cream parlors for lack of a better description....black and white checked floors. I grew up in LB. Do you remember Lloyd Thaxton?

I think that See's is one of the companies owned by Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett's operation.

If I remember correctly, one of those shares could have been bought for about $12.00 in 1965, and most advisors say that they've never paid a dividend ... but I think they're wrong - that they paid a dime about 1967.

Current price $193,483.00.

I considered buying one, several years ago, when it was $22,000.00 or so ... and I would have needed $30,000. Canadian to have bought it, which would have required borrowing about a third of that amount, if I recall correctly: didn't.

But I bought a few of the 1/30th size a few years later, in my retirement account - later sold 'em, on advice of a new manager of my account, at her suggestion ... at about $85.00 per, and they went to over $120., now. But the oil co. that she recommended at about $20.00 ... went down to $10.02, now, was some below that.

They have about 15 - 20,000 at their annual meeting, about to take place in Omaha ... and Mr. Buffett's message in the annual report offers a good bit of wisdom ... and is readable.

He and Charlie Munger, older than he is, answer questions for about three hours during that time.
