*UPDATE: December 7, 2011 - I ordered this basket again on 12/03, received 12/06 and some of the contents have expired. Amazon provided a refund immediately.
I have lowered the stars from 5 to 3 until I can order again and verify that the treats are fresh; will update once again.
(Original review below)
I've sent three of these baskets out in the past month as thank yous and thinking-of-yous - everyone just loves them! Since I sent the first one with only the product dimensions to go by I was concerned that everything might be teeny-tiny portions but this is a full size basket. The reusable cup is about the size of a regular Starbucks coffee cup and the cheery double basket is actually large enough to hold a bottle of wine on each side. The treats are regular single serving size; that Fleur de Sel Caramel Corn by 479 Popcorn is absolutely delicious!!!
My sister mentioned the outer box it comes in has a small sticker that says "Mother's Day Gift Basket" but the inner is simply wrapped with cellophane and the basket+contents looked exactly like the photo. Prices have gone up and down lately but I was lucky to find these on a manager's special; when priced at around fifty percent off list I think they are a really good value and I would definitely purchase more of these.
Update 11/10/11: I received a comment from someone reading this review that some of her basket items were expired; even though food items are considered "non-returnable" your satisfaction with the item is still important and there is a recourse. Amazon customer service advised me that they would solve this in one of two ways:
* if you are the gift recipient and you'd rather not tell the sender the item was expired, you can call Amazon CS and request a Gift Card in the amount of the item and either obtain a replacement or purchase something else.
* if you prefer, you can inform the sender that the item was expired and they can call in and get a refund or replacement.
I would post the phone number here but I believe the system deletes numbers and links - the number comes up easily on search engines though. Hope this helps!
please check update*
