One of a Kind: Larger than life candy, which make fun gifts! Coffee mugs w/hilarious sayings, some chocolates with liquor inside, retro candy, cute plushies, Hello Kitty cup of noodles...

Favorites: Unique flavors of KitKat bars, Barbie drink, chocolate bar mixed with potato chips, boba drinks, Bailey's chocolates...& so much more! Customer Service: I'm always greeted right away! Friendly service! Recently, I had a question about an item, and though It'Sugar did not carry it, the nice girl told me what store did carry what I was looking for! So sweet! Overall: Fun store that I always enjoy going into and shopping! I love it!

Then I realized, he didn't . I didn't buy any candy because the prices were higher than Snoop Dog in his house.

I used to be a diligent frequenter of Tobi Tobin in Malibu for their chocolate. I never knew it was simply John Kelly marked up!! My goodness. That was a shock and relief all at once. I was so grateful to find my beloved chocolate AGAIN after TT closed but was shocked I was buying from a secondary distributor who did not disclose. Mind blown. Regardless, so grateful for this super decadent chocolatier on Montana. I love it so much I stopped in on a work trip when back in LA to gather my faves and my husband collected me some upon his recent trip back. I had a delightful chocolate bunny for Easter. Goodness it's just the best. I love the chocolate walnut and the marzipan I tried recently was a new introduction and a delight. Their chocolate embodies the joy of life. Each bit is pure pleasure! Have sent it as a gift and plan to get more as a gift on a future trip. Their chocolate does not disappoint. I adore!

In addition, the Valentine's merch was so over the top cute that I wanted to buy everything from socks to chocolates and everything in between.

I had selected the zen artistry arrangement and when I tell you it was absolutely gorgeous and exceeded my expectations. Now the real MVP is Catalina the shop owner because she went back to the house to ensure she got it to the exact spot I requested the flowers be delivered to and it was no easy task .

Compared to the other florists in the area, this one's a clear winner. Trim 1" off the tips of the flowers, change the water frequently, keep out of direct sunlight or heat, add a bit of flower food, and the bouquet is sure to last several weeks.
