Gift so no actual experience

I sent this as a gift to a neighbor for helping remove some brush. He said it was nice and he liked it. I liked the ease of ordering and sending the gift.More detail ...

major disappointment

Looking at my 80's box I am very disappointed with it. I cannot believe that there is a 1 liter bottle of soda in this small box it takes up a third of all the space! This is a flat out rip-off that was space that could have had candy! Not to mention that it isn't even a brand that we'd ever heard of so it does us zero for nostalgia. Furthermore there are more suckers in the box than anything else! I feel like this box which should have been very easy was completely thrown together without much thought and is complete garbage especially as most of the candy is still available in stores.



I had to spend more money just to fill in that empty third of the box when I threw the soda away!More detail ...

A Huge Disappointment

I received this gift basket as a birthday present and was excited upon initially opening the box. From there it went downhill. The actual bag is about 2/3 stuffing with only the very top being product and you get very little product for the price. Notables in it were "truffle cookies" that tasted like a stale vanilla cracker cookie (I'm guessing this was a substitute for the listed Balloon sugar cookies) a chocolate chip "tea cake" mini loaf that's hard to stomach more than a couple bites at a time (very bland and unappetizing) a small box of chocolate fudge that's the worst I've ever had (you probably made better fudge in home ec) a box marked "Gourmet Caramel Nut Assortment" that's actually just caramel pieces (equally disappointing).



The only safe things in the package were some small (emphasis: small) packages of Jelly Bellies fruit slice candies and some generic hard strawberry candies. The boxes the individual products come in are deceivingly big but trust me there's a lot of air in each of those boxes.



For something by a company named "The Art of Appreciation" you can show your appreciation in much cheaper ways that doesn't leave the party on the receiving end wondering if they knew what in the world you were thinking. I wouldn't even pay $10 for this utter disappointment. Show someone you care by staying clear of this little number!



(Update: I find it very interesting that within 24 hours of my posting the first review for this since it was released in 2004 a beaming almost storybook 5-star review comes up out of nowhere (Also note that this was that reviewer's first review ever--red flags galore). p.s. There was no "pretty bow" in this package or if there was it was instantly forgetable. Obviously a lame attempt by the company to boost their rating. Stay away from this waste of money.)More detail ...

I liked it I hope they will like it too...

I like the idea of food gift basket. Most people are able to find some items that they like in it. And I am always avoiding the food baskets that contain all-too-sugary stuff. So this one had some variation as its description lead one to believe. I like the presentation and it arrived in good condition. Tomorrow I will give it to my parents-in-law and I have no doubt that they will like it.More detail ...

Cute!

I saw this gift in person and then decided to buy one for a friend. It's a great Easter/springtime way to say "thank you" or even just "hello!" The treats are yummy and the watering can is an adorable planter!More detail ...

Dad's birthday gift

I have purchased a number of different food gift baskets over the years online and its always a little difficult to determine which one to get. You have to carefully read the content descriptions as some baskets have a lot of "filler" items. This makes it appear that you are getting a lot of food but its crackers and condiments. My father liked this basket he said the salami and other things were of good quality so I would recommend it to others.

I would really like to see more food gift baskets that were filled with more "hard" food items like meat & cheese and less "fluff"More detail ...

Fast friendly and yummy!

I purchased a pork crown roast from this company and I was very satisfied. The product shipped just in time even though it was the holidays. I had spoken with customer service and though I usually got a voicemail message they always called back the same day and were very friendly and informative about the status of the order. It arrive in great condition and was enjoyed by my friends and family. I would definitely order from them again!More detail ...
