The Rewind BoxA retro candy gift box, by the decade
Press play on the candy they grew up with. Pick a decade, fill a box with real nostalgic candy from back then, a bag of old fashioned Pick & Mix and fresh Nibbler popcorn to match, write a little note, and we pack it by hand in El Dorado Hills.
It's candy from your childhood for the ones who remember it, and a taste of a decade you never lived through for the ones who don't. A sweet birthday gift for someone born in the 1960s, 70s or 80s, a 50th or 60th birthday surprise, or an over the hill gift that actually gets eaten.
Small or Large. Ships anywhere in the US, or pick it up free in El Dorado Hills.

Good to know
Rewind Box questions
What's inside a Rewind Box?
You pick a decade, then you pick everything in it. A Small Rewind Box holds 2 bags of Nibbler popcorn, 2 retro candies and a quarter pound bag of Pick & Mix. A Large Rewind Box holds 4 bags of popcorn, 4 retro candies and 2 Pick & Mix bags. Doubles are fine. Every box comes with a personalized note.
How much does the Rewind Box cost?
It's priced by what you pick: $6 for the box and your personalized note, plus each popcorn bag, candy and ounce of Pick & Mix at our regular prices ($1 an ounce, so $4 a bag). Most Small Rewind Boxes come to about $24 and most Large Rewind Boxes to about $42.
Do you ship the Rewind Box?
Yes. We ship anywhere in the US, and boxes leave our shop in El Dorado Hills in about 48 hours. Shipping is $9.99 on orders under $35 and $14.99 on orders of $35 and up. Pickup at the shop in El Dorado Hills is always free.
Can I mix candy from different decades?
Yes. Your box starts on the decade you pick. To mix, tap Decade at the top of the builder and tune in another one. Everything already in your box stays put, and your popcorn can be any flavor we make.
Can I add a personal note?
Yes. Add who it's to, who it's from and a note up to 200 characters. We write it out by hand and tuck it in the box.
Is it a good birthday gift for someone turning 50, 60 or 70?
It's one of our favorites for a milestone birthday. Turning 50 usually means born in the 1970s, so start with the Far Out Box. For 60 and 70, the Sock Hop Box covers the 1950s and 60s. It makes a sweet over the hill gift, too.
Does any of the candy contain nuts, dairy or gluten?
Some candy and popcorn flavors contain nuts, dairy or wheat, and everything is packed in the same shop. If you have an allergy, call us at (916) 235-2400 before you order.
Can I send Rewind Boxes to clients or a whole team?
Yes. Build one here for a single gift, or see our corporate gifts for bigger orders and shipping to many addresses.
