Gifting Pelon Pelo Rico to family abroad gives them a taste of home, and the 18-count ensures they have enough to share.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the squeezable bottle format make the gift feel more special than a bag of loose candy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interactive squeeze bottle adds a fun, playful element that loose candy cannot match.
