The Perfect Teacher Gift Is a Sugarwish

It’s the end of the school year so why not thank the teacher in your life with a sweet gift that he or she can personalize? The good news is that there’s no need to get up from your computer to send a Sugarwish.

Sugarwish is perfect for those of us who travel a lot and need to send digital gifts and thank yous from wherever we are. And, it’s a clever gift for any occasion, really. Kids also love the concept.

What Is Sugarwish?

Sugarwish was created by two moms who believed that gift giving could be both fun and easy. So, they set out to develop a website where the giver could choose a gift (candy, in this case) and the recipient could personalize it by choosing the types of candy he or she loves.

It’s win-win, the candy choices are delish and the packaging has the upscale-contemporary flair that I like.

How to Order Sugarwish

The entire process takes just a few minutes.

1. Log on to Sugarwish to select a Sugarwish gift.

2. Choose and customize an eCard for the recipient. You can even schedule the eCard to be sent on a certain date.

3. The recipient receives the eCard with a gift code to use and link to Sugarwish.

4. The recipient chooses his or her favorite candy.

5. The candy arrives in a darling gift box, lickety-split.

Easy peasy.

What Kind of Candy Is There?
