Gold Mine: After-Holiday Sales

April 19th, 2007 @ 5:29 pm by Mrs. Plum

As you may have heard me mention before - after holiday sales are one of the best resources for really cute wedding items at great prices! After Valentines, I picked up these lovelies for the kids’ kits…

Since my wedding has a cute bird motif/not-so-much-theme, I waited very patiently for Easter to pass by so I could look for some really cute bird/springy items. I started researching early and kept my eyes open for items that I potentially could use/incorporate into my theme, and kept tabs on them until the day after Easter.

That is how I stumbled across these SUPER cute truffle eggs from one of my all-time favorite stores, Williams-Sonoma!

I had been desperately trying to find some sort of egg-shaped candy to place in my teeny birds nests I purchased several months ago, also from Williams-Sonoma, and did not want to have to resort to Jordan Almonds, as I am not a fan - so these were the perfect alternative!

They came in this HUGE box! I only ordered 9 boxes of the truffle eggs - I think 3 eggs per nest should be enough, right? :)

They’re really cute and tasty too! For you other bird brides, they’re still on sale for $3.99 a box online at WilliamsSonoma.com! Go check it out!

Man, when I posted about those eggs in February, they were like, 12 bucks a box- great job finding them at bargain prices! Will they still be good in June?

Wonderful find! Keep them really well sealed (try Fresher Longer containers) to keep them super-fresh!

You’re lucky it’s only two months between Easter and your wedding - my wedding is right BEFORE Halloween and there’s not really a candy-festive holiday between now and then. So any candy I could have found on sale recently would have been 6 months old by the time the wedding came around!

kandaceandjason — good point! We stocked up on Christmas and Valentine candy. Guess which was fresher on the big day?

In Canada, there’s the somewhat more pedestrian looking option of Cadbury Mini Eggs. I hear you have them in the US but Not Martha says they aren’t as good.
