Edit: the price on this item varies immensely, from ~$6 to $27. I paid $7.03 and base my ratings on the value for that price. I would not consider paying more than $10 for this, and at that price, it would be as a gift for someone who lives far away and would not want candy or baked sweets.
5 stars for the nuts and the tray, 4 for the fruit. Delivered 2/13, the package’s best by date is 4/20. There is a wooden tray with a 4 compartment plastic liner; the nuts are in cellophane packs, the fruit is laid out directly on the liner. The whole thing is shrink wrapped and in a printed sealed gift box. It looks nice on arrival. The nuts are incredible! The prunes are a little drier than I like and the dates have pits, but my real disappointment with the fruit is that there was only 1 peach and 2 pear (my favorite) halves; both fruit compartments are laid out over a layer of apple rings to fluff up the presentation. They are good dried apples but def the most boring item in the box. I plan to wash the liner and reuse the tray; it’s sanded, unfinished wood for the crafty types. I would def buy this again as a gift or for myself as a treat.
Golden State: If there were a way to not use apples in place of pears and peaches, that would be awesome. Would also like if both the fruit and nuts came in resealable plastic bags or if some were included to keep unused portions fresh.
