On Oprah recently, I saw Ralph Lauren’s daughter, Dylan, talking about her love of sweets and her numerous candy shops called Dylan’s Candy Bar. Three levels of candy, candy from around the world, candy from your childhood, just look at it and you’ll be amazed!
If you want to give a unique valentine’s gift to someone who isn’t necessarily nutty about chocolate, I think these little items are great finds!
Here’s the swag bag she gave to the members of Oprah’s studio audience. It includes things like a “Lollipop Tackle Box, gummy bears, gumballs, Smarties, Tootsie Rolls, Laffy Taffy, Mary Janes and a limited edition Pez Princess set and can be yours (or your daughter’s (?)) for only $50:
Or, if you’d like to surprise your wife with a whimsical trinket, you can get a candy charm bracelet for that same price:
I was so amazed at all the adorable items on this website, I just had to include a few more for you.
That’s Dylan’s Candy Bar Makeup Bag Set (above) for all of you travelers that still like a little whimsy (I’m looking at you, Missives) and the little gummy bear bag (below) for less.
Or just a simple, sassy tee with a good message.
Happy Valentine’s Day!!

I’d love to give the t-shirt to my wife. She’s on a diet thought and would probably not appreciate the gesture.
Hopping through…and enjoying!
