I got this as a Christmas gift to my little sister who lives in the middle of nowhere as I know she and her husand like to eat healther, but live 3 hours from real shopping. She loved it.I usually get a big box of chocolates for my husband and 6-year old son for Valentine's day, but I got this instead. I figured my son didn't need more candy after his school party. This was perfect! Fresh and bigger than I thought it would be. We are loving it!I bought this as a Mother's Day gift, not realizing it would have a sticker on it saying it is for Christmas, Hanukkah and Thanksgiving. I know that dried fruit and nuts have a decent shelf life, but in May, this was not an appealing announcement. I did not use it for a gift because of that. My sister and kids ate it and said it was really good, but be warned if you are giving this as a gift because it is definitely Christmas themed and can come across as old. But you can't beat the price for what was inside. If not for the sticker and the fact that there is no packing date or expiration date on it, I would have given it 5 stars.I sent this as a gift to my parents who live out of state. They were excited when they received it, but when they took the dried fruit out of the package the underside was covered with mold. They figured they would give the nuts a try, and when they sampled them they were stale and rancid. Very embarrassing and disappointing!Nuts were stale. I liked the chocloate dipped apricots. The pinepple seemed overly sweet for our taste. The Mango slices were nice since they did not have an extra coating of anything. Overall, would not purchase them again.
