1.0 out of 5 stars A Huge Disappointment, September 25, 2009

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.)

Yesterday was my birthday and I was really blue as I thought I would be all alone. My friends had a different plan and showed up at my door with this gift that really made my day special. It is as bright and cheerful as it is in the picture and comes with a very pretty bow made of different colored ribbons. I saved the ribbons for christmas wrapping as it would be a shame to waste them they are nice quality. We enjoyed all the candy and cake together which satisfied all of our sweet tooths, but I saved the cookies for me later to go with my tea. I highly recommend this gift and have already looked into ordering the over the hill one for my friend for her birthday next month. Great friends, great goodies, good times and good laughs. Happy birthday to me!
