I'm Baaack Cuties!

Sorry for the lack of posts this week Cuties... have been under deadline and all my creative-brain has been needed there. That said, last pm I was chatting with my eldest brother and the subject of ice cream came up. It is both of our "go to" treats, something I never knew. If only the ice cream in our freezers looked like these: big smiles on adorable faces, I don't think we would eat our fave treats... I'd for sure just be smiling at 'em! Hello There Cuties!!!   xxxo

Trick or Treat Cuties

This Sunday is Halloween and instead of candy, the pumpkinhead on the right is getting a treat of music. Sounds good to me... how about you Cuties? Happy Hello-ween!!! xxxo

Packaging Cuties

What is this food? Is it a cake, flan or something else? Well whatever it is, this gets a big Hello There Cutie! Between the fluttering eyelashes on the big (mommy?) and the wink of the little one, I don't think I could eat anything so adorable, could you? xxxo

Candy + Bears = Not Cutie

Things to remember, my dear Cutie readers: Don't give candy to bears, even when they hold out their paws nicely. This public service message is brought to you by Japan. xxxo

More Clement Street Cute

Super Tokio has an amazing candy selection... with the majority in cute packaging. This little guy grabbed my attention as I'm not a fan of chocolate/orange as a flavor combo and his face looks like mine when the combo is encountered. Cranky! Adore that he's on the packaging telling it like it is!!! xxxo

French Chew Cutie

Doscher's Famous French Chew Chewy Taffy is a nougat confection handmade in Cincinnati, Ohio since the late 1800s. A traditional method of eating it is to pop a bar into the freezer then crack it onto your kitchen counter to break it into smaller, bite-sized pieces.... Well, if this cutie is on the packaging, guess I'll have to try it! xxxo

Reader Wishes

We adore when our readers contribute to Hello There Cutie and here's one from Danny in Weho! These "Wish Come True" cuties have weighted bottoms (like me after my Easter candy!) and built in chimes so they not only sway silently in the breeze, but play a soothing soundtrack for your wishing. Mmmmm... I'm wishing for another Easter basket! xxxo

thx Danny!!!

Pez the Season to Be Cutie

Our friend Danny collects PEZ candy dispensers. These four cuties are a sample of his large collection. Though PEZ had been introduced in the 1920s in Austria, toy character head dispensers did not appear until 1955, when the candy was introduced in the United States. There are over 550 unique dispenser heads with thousands of variations. Santa Claus and Mickey Mouse were among the first character dispensers.

Cute Treats

A pumpkin-headed cowboy ropes in some sweet treats for Halloween rustlers on this vintage candy bag.

Cutie Treats

On Halloween, the real surprises were in the bags that neighbors would fill with assorted stuff... would it be generic candy or homemade treats or something super yummy? Even a toy? Well this little cutie in disguise would make me want to see what's in his bag o' treats. Hello there cutie little boy!!! xxxo

Cute Candy

It's time to stock up on sweet treats like Brach's candies. This vintage store graphic features some cuties like a black cat, a wise owl and a happy tree.

Displays Can Be Cute Too!

Sent in by a reader of ours in Arkansas(!), Joseph saw this in Japan... Who wouldn't want to buy every piece of candy offa this cutie display? If we had cuties like this in my supermarket, I'd weight a heck of a lot more from buying candy to support the cuteness! xxxo
