Today is Mother’s Day and I’m happy to be able to mark the holiday with a few properly-themed candy wrappers.\u00a0 While a lot of candy is probably given out on Mother’s Day, it is near-impossible to find any of it specifically packaged for the holiday.\u00a0 But in recent years Russell Stover has released special Mother’s Day overwraps for their assorted boxed chocolates and Whitman-branded Samplers.\u00a0\u00a0 Let’s take a look.<\/p>\n

Much like candy themed for St. Patrick’s Day<\/a> or Thanksgiving<\/a>, candy packaging for Mother’s Day is not easy to find, but fortunately for us there are a few.\u00a0 Russell Stover and its subsidiary Whitman have given us six different Mother’s Day box wrappers in the last couple of years and here they are:<\/p>\n

That’s all of ’em.\u00a0 In addition to these wrappers for small boxes, I know that Russell Stover utilized the same designs for larger boxed assortments also themed for Mother’s Day.\u00a0 Beyond these six and their larger counterparts however, I don’t recall any other time I encountered candy packaging specifically geared toward today’s holiday.\u00a0 Seems like a missed opportunity, but at least we have these.<\/p>\n

That’s everything for today and our enthusiastic acknowledgement of wonderful mothers everywhere.\u00a0 Have a great day, Moms!\u00a0 See you next time!<\/p>\n
