I BOUGHT MYSELF AS GIFT!

Not having a birthday every year about once a year I buy myself a non-Leap Year celebration gift! This year, on a whim, after seeing their web page, by accident, nuts.com., I decided to get me their welcoming gift of 15 different treats for $14 including shipping. What I didn't know, until I get the box, that as good as the treats are (were!) the writing on the 16 different 'sides' of the box holding the gift were side splitting funny and I treated myself to reading ONE side as I ate ONE of the 1-1.5 ounce sample packages EVERY DAY for 15 days--okay I cheated on the last side as I read it while I ate the 15th sample. The items run from Boubon Pecans, Southern Heat Mix, Dark Chocolate Turbinado Sea Salt Almonds to Apple Pie Crunch, Roasted Pistachios (Salted, in Shell), Roasted Cashews (50% less salt) not to forget Dried Pineapple (Chunks), Half Dried Apricots, Spicy Lime Plantain Chips plus 6 other items. Between the snacks and such writings, as on the last side, "Open me to get the inside scoop! Nuts! Nuts! Nuts! We're nuts! Go ahead take a peak inside!" this was one of the best presents I bought for myself!

Yummm, nuts! I miss them so (diverticulosis…and I don’t know how my gut knows the grinder pile of mush that just slid down from my teeth was a peanut, but it does )

@GreatMartin — I think fat is attracted to young, handsome, rich, talented guys like you. What can you do but fight it off….

That sounds so good! Just a hint...try George Howe sometime. Their prices are lower than Nuts.com although they don't have a welcoming gift. Enjoy and have a good weekend.

Sounds yummy but that's a lot of sugar so I couldn't eat it. Lucky you.

I also get myself a gift occasionally. I think that gift box was a good deal.
