(ARA) – Every year about this time, people start making lists of the gifts they need to buy for the holidays. Buying the perfect gift for everyone from family members to co-workers and the postal carrier to teachers can involve a lot of running around – and a lot of money.
This year, make your gift buying easier by giving everyone on your list something they’ll love – candy. And not just any candy, but treats with history from James’ and Fralinger’s, a family-owned confectionary company celebrating its 125th anniversary. Based in Atlantic City, N.J., the company is best known for its salt water taffy, but there is truly something for everyone, from chocolate to macaroons to gift towers and gift baskets.
“Enoch James and Joseph Fralinger have both been cited as the creators of salt water taffy,” says company spokesperson Lisa Whitley. “We offer the best of these two great confectioners.” And if you thought that salt water taffy only comes in one flavor, guess again. The James’ assortment box includes 17 flavors, including banana, coconut, licorice, and peanut butter. And at $6.99 for a one pound box, it makes a lovely yet affordable gift. The taffy is also available in variety of collectible tins featuring classic motifs from the early 1900s.
For those on your list who have been especially good this year, opt for the James’ and Fralinger’s Seashore Favorites Gift Tower or the Chocolate Lovers Gift Tower. “We created the towers after many requests from our customers,” says Whitley. “We’ve taken our most popular gift items and combined them in a beautiful presentation.” Both towers consist of five gift wrapped boxes of various sizes stacked together and wrapped up with beautiful gold ribbon, a bow and a seasonal decoration.
Inside the Seashore Favorites is a mouthwatering assortment of candy: Salt Water Taffy, Chocolate Seal Taffy, Fralinger’s Peanut Butter Chews, Fralinger’s Chocolate Covered Jumbo Marshmallows and Fralinger’s Chocolate Covered Pretzels.
The Chocolate Lovers tower is a sure winner for all the chocoholics on your list. It includes Milk and Dark Chocolates, Chocolate Covered Pretzels, Chocolate Covered Marshmallows, Almond Butter Crunch and Cashew Caramel Patties.
A smaller tower, called the Ocean Gift Tower, features Salt Water Taffy, Creamy Mints and homemade Sea Foam Fudge.
There are two gift baskets to choose from as well. The Celebration Basket contains a huge assortment of customer favorites, including James’ Salt Water Taffy, Fralinger’s Salt Water Taffy, James’ Cream Mint Rolls, Fralinger’s Almond Macaroons, Chocolate Covered Pretzels and much more. The Seaside Basket includes assorted Salt Water Taffy, Boardwalk Fudge, Coconut Macaroons and Chocolate Covered Molasses Paddles. Both gifts are tucked into beautiful, reusable baskets.
In addition to taffy and chocolates, the company is well known for its macaroons. Choose from almond, chocolate almond, chocolate chip, coconut and chocolate covered macaroons. Packaged in decorative gift boxes or lovely tins, they’re sure to be a hit.
If you’re looking for corporate gifts, James’ and Fralinger’s has that covered, too. They can customize gifts with ribbon bearing your company name or you can choose corporate branded tins with your choice of candy. “We handle all the details, and you get all the compliments,” says Whitley.
Gift wrapping for all purchases is always free. That means you don’t have to go to the mall, you don’t have to fight the crowds and you don’t even have to wrap these gifts. That should make you as happy as everyone on your gift list.
