FALL 2004 NEWSLETTER

With Halloween just past and the holiday shopping (and eating!) season about to kick into high gear, we're glad you took a moment to check in with us! It's been a fun, exciting year for Hometown Favorites – beginning with our participation in the 2004 Academy Awards ® Presenter’s Gift Basket, through our new segment on Food TV’s “Unwrapped” series (scheduled to air December 20th, 2004). Whether you found us through the media, word of mouth or one of our favored manufacturers, we hope you enjoy our site and store. Our shelves are bursting at the seams – the new items you’ve requested through the year have us closing in on the 2000 products mark! Keep your eyes open for the Original Snaps, Grape Licorice, Banana Laffy Taffy, Vlasic Polish Pickles, Comstock Pie Fillings, Wyler’s Drink Mixes, Henri’s Dressings and many more “hometown favorites” we’ve added this year. We’re fully stocked on all the classic and nostalgic candies you’re going to be looking for this holiday season in addition to all your favorite baking needs (Hershey’s Raspberry and Cinnamon Chips!).	You wanted easy, beautiful and fun gift ideas and we’ve got them by the “buckets”! Our Gift Basket aisle is brimming with new collections of candies, toys and containers – from our lavish Candyland tin featured in the November ’04 issue of InStyle magazine to a true replica of the original Radio Flyer Wagon filled with candies - one of these may be just what you’re looking for. If you prefer to create your own custom gift, we’ve created an easy to follow shopping guide for selecting candies and goodies that reflect you (or your recipients) childhood favorites. Order with an eye to the calendar. We suggest Christmas and Hanukkah orders be placed as soon after Thanksgiving as possible so we can allow plenty of time for transit. Late shoppers will appreciate thee December 22nd ordering deadline for Christmas shipments, along with the variety of expedited shipping options for you to choose from. Please let us know how we can help you simplify your shopping and increase the fun quotient of our Hometown Favorites website. We love hearing about your Hometown Favorites!
