Comments about Hearth Crickets:

WELCOME ADDITION TO MANTLE IN DAUGHTER'S NEW RETIREMENT HOME IN TENNESSEE. MUCH APPRECIATED.

UNEXPECTED AND HILARIOUS REACTION FROM OUR TWO SONS. THEY THOUGHT WE HAD SENT LIVE CRICKETS AND WERE DEVASTATED WHEN THE POST OFFICE DID NOT PRODUCE THE BOX IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS, THOUGH IT HAD BEEN DELIVERED ON THE 14TH. THEY WERE SURE THEY HAD A BOX OF DEAD CRICKETS, AND THE BOY FROM CANADA WHO WAS DOWN TO COLUMBIA FALLS FOR CHRISTMAS WITH HIS BROTHER, SAID IT WAS PROBABLY JUST AS WELL, HE COULD NOT HAVE TAKEN THEM BACK TO CANADA ANYWAY. THERE WAS MUCH RELIEF AND LAUGHTER WHEN ALL WAS RESOLVED. ALL IN ALL, WORTH MUCH MORE THAN THE PRICE OF THE CRICKETS MAKING THEM A LASTING MEMORY.

Comments about Hearth Crickets:

I bought TWO crickets; one for our home and one as a gift. I had heard before that they are good luck for the household and wanted to share that with my sister. Really attractive. I just want to add that this isn't my first purchase with Gardner's Supply and all the products I have purchased have been of high quality and of fair pricing. And I love the fact that it's an employee run company. I always look forward to the emails and getting the catalog in the mail. Thanks for the great work!
