If you ever find yourself in Cleveland, Ohio, make sure you stop by the neighboring town of Westlake so you can visit Bonne Bell’s gift shop! It’s a cute little store tucked in the back of their building, and you can browse most of the Lip Smackers available through their online store.
The best part is the glass case up front (which they call the Heritage collection) showcasing some of their vintage flavors, but there are more recent Smackers displayed as well. Of course I have a few pictures from my visit just for you fanatics! 😛

Bonne Bell Gift Shop
Various vintage Lip Smackers such as Peppermint, Orange Crush, Strawberry Crush, Candy Cane, Peach, Jelly Bean, Cherry and more.
More vintage flavors – Candy Apple, Sugar Plum, Lemon Cake, Butter Rum, Sarsaparilla, Banana Marshmallow, Raspberry Sherbet, Raspberry Frost, Blueberry, and Green Apple to name a few!
Herself the Elf Lip Smackers – Herself the Elf was an 80’s cartoon (based on greeting cards) that had a line of toys, books etc. Check out the Flower Buds biggies!
Before their iconic block letter logo. I loved when they did packaging like this.
Can u buy the vintage ones?
These are part of their Heritage collection, so not these particular smackers. Sometimes you can luck out online though!
Can you like open up the glass case and smell them! that would be sooo kwl 😀
They were good about me opening up the case for pictures but I can’t say that they’d want everyone handling them! They’re so old 😀
I love lip smakers I wish that the Walmart would sell more of the flavors I love them all iv almost got them all I collect them
that’s awesome! my husband is from cleveland and still has a ton of family there so i might have to talk him into taking a little trip to see the family and of course, the bonne bell gift shop! LOL
Perfect excuse! And take lots of pics just in case they changed anything since I last visited, haha 🙂
Love the pics! I wish Bonne Bell could display ALL their vintage sets. I’m very proud to own a few of them in those pics. I wish I could get the Herself the Elf ones though. <3 the Heritage of Bonne Bell 🙂
Ditto! I agree, I know there’s a ton missing. They’ve made enough over the years to have a little museum! 🙂
I so had the Candy cane, Candy Apple, and Sugar Plum holiday Biggies as a teen, as well as the Frosts — cherry frost, raspberry frost and strawberry frost. LOVED the frosts. What can I say? I always was a sucker for sparkles. Hence my nickname
Yes I love the frosts too! I’m not sure many people remember those.
So is everything pictured for sale?
No, this is their private ‘heritage’ collection for display only.
I love these! I’m from the 70’s so these hit close to home. I recall sitting there sniffing them when I was little by the hours. Lol
That is so cool, thank you for sharing!
I would like to get stuff in the mail about the
Bunny….What ones are you selling? We have been in touch before….
