Celebrate International Womenās Day With Gifts of Gratitude
Behind every successful woman is something sweet.
When it comes to our founder, Mary See, weāre often asked, āWas she real?ā
Yes, she was absolutely real, and without her entrepreneurial spirit, there wouldnāt be Seeās Candies. "Mary is far more than just the face on a box of See's Candies. She is the inspiration behind the way we outfit our shops, craft our candies and run our business," says Pat Egan, Seeās Candies President & CEO.
Thatās why weāre celebrating our incredible female founder by sharing a few of our favorite International Women's Day gift ideas (including some straight from Maryās recipe book).
Honoring A Trailblazer on International Womenās Day
Women made an extraordinary impact in business during the 1920s, and Mary See was no exception. When she and her son Charles started Seeās Candies in 1921, her talent for creating homemade confections and principles set a solid foundation. Today, our business is still inspired by Mary ā from her insistence on using the finest ingredients to replicating her iconic black-and-white checkerboard kitchen in our shops.
We take pride in being a 102-year-old female-founded company, but thereās something extra special about it on International Womenās Day. On a day dedicated to celebrating womenās achievements, we canāt think of a better time to recognize the strong, intelligent and courageous ladies in your life. So, whether thatās a mom, mentor, friend or colleague, we have sweet ways to thank them.
Technically, These Are Hand-made Gifts
During our early years, Mary adopted the motto āQuality Without Compromise,ā a principle that continues to guide us. That commitment led her to create classic recipes, many of which are still cooked up in our Candy Kitchens today. When youāre looking for the perfect International Womenās Day gift, what could be a better than timeless treats hand-crafted by a female-founded company? Weāre pretty confident nothing compares. So here are a few of our favorite International Womenās Day gift ideas:
-
Peanut Brittle: Widely known as Warren Buffettās favorite Seeās treat, this signature candy (made with Maryās original recipe) is packed with crunchy, nutty goodness and more peanuts per square inch than any other!
-
Chocolate Walnut Fudge: An undeniable classic still made according to Maryās original directions and her signature premium ingredients, just the way she would have wanted it.
-
Assorted Chocolates: This best-selling mix of irresistible favorites ā including newer candies and confections inspired by Maryās original confections ā has something for every taste.
-
Custom Mix: Do you know your gift recipientās tastes? Great! Give them exactly what they want with a collection of all their favorites.
Making Mary Proud on International Womenās Day
Today, customers can choose from more than 100 candies in any of Seeās over 250 shops or online. As our growth continues, we canāt help but wonder if Mary imagined the company built using her homemade confections would become one of Americaās favorite brands. Itās because of her incredible culinary talents and high standards that Seeās future is sweeter than ever. Thank you, Mary and Happy International Womenās Day to trailblazers like you.
