Whenever we travel we always give ourselves 5 extra minutes at the airport to pick up a box or two or three of See's Candies to have on hand as little gifts of thanks as we visit friends and family. So we were particularly excited when we received word that See's is having a sale just in time for 4th of July celebrations.
