I placed a Christmas order to have Stowaway Sweets shipped to my in-laws in New York. They were packed beautifully and with care (see pic below). Stowaway Sweets makes for the best (and the sweetest) Holiday gift and the quality and care is unmatched.

The candies are expensive. But they're are excellent quality. The selection is ample but not overwhelming. Offerings change with the seasons. So it's worth visiting again. We fell in love with their Dubai chocolate.
