Savory Sophisticated Gourmet Food Gift Basket with Caviar, Large (Chocolate Option)

Package arrived quickly and neatly packaged. I sent this as a gift, so I did not get to taste the food, although it was reported to be delicious. I would definitely order it again. I gave four stars only because I did not taste the food myself.

I ordered this basket for my son and his wife for Easter as a fun basket of many different items; rather than the typical chocolate rabbit and jelly beans. My son called me and was thrilled with the "surprise" as well as the contents. Both of them were excited to try the various "goodies"!!! I later saw the basket after several weeks, but not the contents--as the "goodies were long gone!!! The willow basket did NOT look cheap and they utilized it for fruit later. Instead of putting tons of color in the basket, it was primarily burgundy and gold. It looked "rich"! The basket consisted of salmon spread, cookies, chocolate, sausage cake, two types of crackers, truffles, almonds, and CAVIAR. I ordered this basket partially due to the caviar because it magnified "richness" and my children were excited to "try it"! Although the basket was reasonably priced (compared to some of the other baskets), I chose this basket and via AMAZON--honestly, due to the free shipping via PRIME. Many baskets would have added another $10.00 or so due to the size and packaging. I would prefer to use the extra $10.00 towards "goodies".I would recommend this basket and Amazon; however, I would rather save the idea for myself and order more and fun and unique gifts.The only downfall was that my son did not received the message that I wrote; therefore, he "guessed" that it was from me (instead of the Easter Bunny)!

this is the first thing i have every bought at amazon that i was not only disappointed but embarrassed. it was a gift for my childrens' anniversary. the package was not at all like the photo. the items were flat down in the basket. most boxes contained one or two items. it was uninteresting. the convenience of buying at amazon was a mistake this time. i saw much more beautiful and less expensive baskets at other stores like costco. anyway many other items i've purchased from amazon have been totally satisfactory.

I ordered two of these baskets to give as a thank you. To my surprise the contents of the baskets differ from one another. Some items were not in it as well.

For a gift this was packaged well. Some of the items insid were really quite bad though, The cheddar straws were nasty but it was a pretty basket.

I've been buying the Art of Appreciation gift baskets for years for my family members. The recipients were always grateful and seemed to have enjoyed the varieties. This year, I got curious and ordered myself a basket after sending several of the same out to my family and friends. Upon receipt, I was shocked at the content and the presentation of the basket especially for the price paid. I could probably come up with a much better mix with less than $30 - in fact I will do so from now on. I feel embarrassed that this is the type of baskets I've been sending out year after year to my loved ones. Don't be fooled that you'd impress anyone with the included caviar - it tastes like salty but unsweet flying fish eggs. As a person used to the Caspian caviars and even some cheaper American Paddlefish alternatives, I find it insulting and again very embarrassed to have sent the product as gifts. I should've known better... I called my sister (yearly happy recipient) and asked her if this is how it had been for years, and she giggled sheepishly and that's all I needed to know.Received contents:4 pieces (1.2 oz) of Belgian Truffles3.5 oz Dill Salmon Spread (Alaska Smokehouse)3.75 oz Pasteurized Cheddar Cheese (Northwood Cheese Co)0.95 Oz Mochaccino mix - enough for ONE 6oz cup2 oz Smoked Almonds (Los Olivos)2 oz Wine & Cheese Biscuits (Los Olivos)1.8 oz Chocolate Dipped (Truffle?) cookies4 oz Tuscan Crackers (Focaccia Crisps)2 oz Water Crackers (Three Pepper Blend)4.4 oz Wafer rolls (Tiramisu flavor)5 oz Pretzels (typical salted dried)4.4 oz Angelina's Sweet Butter Cookies2 oz green olives, pimento stuffed (Mille Lacs Foods)2 oz Black Capelin caviar (Season brand)Missing Items:2 Pakages Cafe Comfrorts White Chocolate Cocoa MixSesame CrackersMerlot Wine Cheese - or is this for the pasteurized cheddar flavored dip?Stone Ground MustardMs. Pinables Caramel Confections

I got this for my dad as a birthday/appreciation gift. He said it was the best present he received and he loved it. He's so excited to eat and everything. I felt so happy to make him happy :).

I thought this was a great deal. Lots of goodies to enjoy and a nice variety. The friend for whom I ordered loves to eat and like it.
