This was a gift for a family living in the snowy mountains. The fruit reminded them of past international travels. Each family member had their favorite fruit so it was nice to have the variety. Fruit was unblemished and near ripe so it was within days my friends could enjoy their bounty. The cards describing each fruit was very helpful. Will buy this for myself and as a gift for family and friends in the future. It was a healthy, unique, and fun gift that was perfect for my multigenerational family friends.
