I received one recently, and, no fooling, it took Mr. X and me a week to open it because we wanted to just admire the stunning packaging for awhile! You can design your own, or just go with an already-created one. There are so many beautiful color-schemes to choose from, and the variety of candies is overwhelming. And, for those of you to whom this matters, it\u2019s all Kosher!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I just gave you that reminder so that you&#8217;ll know how special this give-away is! My Candy Basket is making-up these special Mother&#8217;s Day baskets just for you, with what they feel is the perfect color scheme for the occasion, and with a wonderful array of delights. So, you have no decisions to make, other than to enter our contest in the next two days!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18473\" style=\"width: 159px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/FullSizeRender-e1430203504435.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18473\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-18473\" src=\"http:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/FullSizeRender-e1430203504435-149x300.jpg\" alt=\"Some of the baskets, all ready to be sent to the winners!

You don&#8217;t have to be schmaltzy; the entries can be sincere, nice, or funny. Or whatever you want them to be. They don&#8217;t even have to be <em>true<\/em>!<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll notify you<em> only<\/em> if you&#8217;re one of the sixteen winners.\u00a0 But I promise that we will totally appreciate <em>all<\/em> entries.
