Sweet Tooth: A Happy Place

In the midst of all the flurry which is what our store is all about at this time of the year, I realize how much I really like people!!
Most every person who comes into Sweet Tooth is looking for something special and different for their loved one or their friends.  They make such an effort to pick just the right candy or gift....they are pleased with their choices, they love getting a complimentary gift bag and they thank us over and over for what we do.
And what we do is simply what we do all the time.  It is called "doing our best".
If I every retire from Sweet Tooth I will truly miss our customers more than anything else.
Today we had a customer who brought in a glass boot.  She wanted to give the boot to her son-in-law, filled with layers of Jelly Bellys.  She was a tiny bit apologetic, asking me for the extra time it would take to get the jars of Jelly Bellys, measure out each one, carefully put them in the glass boot and then figure out a way to make sure the Jelly Bellys don't blend with each other.
As for me, I thought it was a clever idea, something fun, something that she put a lot of thought into and I really enjoyed helping her. 
In the past 20 Christmas seasons we have been asked to do all sorts of different presentations of gifts and candy.  And it is generally one of the most fun activities we have all year long.
So, hats off to Sweet Tooth customers, for their caring, for their clever ideas, for their gratitude and for being joyful people.
If you have been seeing our ads in Tulsa People and in Intermission magazine, you will know that we are thinking of Sweet Tooth as a "Happy Place".  Now you know why. 
P.S.  We have some bragging rights!  Gift Beat magazine's December issue has featured our "Happy Place" ads in their issue.  We've gone national...how fun is that?
