Bob Ross Happy Little Tree Mints Tin, 2-Pack

One tiny tin of peppermints should not be able to trigger a full nostalgia spiral, and yet here we are. Bob Ross’s face alone is enough to make someone feel like everything is going to be a happy little accident today.

Roast the friend who still cannot finish a canvas without googling “how to fix mistake paint” halfway through. A tin of Happy Little Tree Mints on their desk says “we know” without saying it out loud.

Hypothetically, someone could buy a normal box of mints for a coworker’s birthday. That version of the gift is instantly forgettable next to a candy tin with a painter’s face on it.

Two tins arrive together, plus two stickers thrown in, so there’s enough here for a desk and a car cupholder, or a desk and a friend who also loves PBS reruns.

It’s peppermint, it’s small, and it costs less than a sandwich, but it reads as thoughtful because almost nobody expects a Bob Ross mint tin as a gift.
