Makes a perfect gift

My brother and I grew up during the 70's, and I thought it would be fun to send this to him for a housewarming gift I didn't get a chance to see the item myself (he lives in another state), but here's what he said in his thank you email: "It really cracked me up and was delicious. They really nailed it with the retro contents, right down to the fake cigs with the pink tips. The wax lips really brought back memories, especially when inserted. It was the first package received at the new address and I was like "what the heck is this?", and then started laughing upon opening. Good call."

Some old faves, but most products still around

I bought this for my sister's 45th birthday. She liked the idea, but her daughter ended up eating most of the candy. Some nostalgic items but some things are still available easily today. Shipping costs are quite high and "compensate" for the reasonable price of the box. I probably wouldn't order this again, but it is a good (albeit expensive) gag gift.

Good assortment, not as many "Retro" candies as you would expect

I purchased this for my husband as he'd always talked about the candies he used to eat as a child (his parents owned a candy store at one point). While there was a fair quantity of candy, much of it was stuff that's still available today. We were expecting more "Wow, haven't seen this is 30 years!" candies and fewer "Oh, I had one of these yesterday" choices.

1970's Retro Gift Box

I am rating the concept of the basket with five stars; however, I am rating the packaging one star. This is a birthday gift. It is customary for most gifts to be a surprise to the recipient. Nevertheless, there is a permanent gold lable that specifically identifies the contents. Some surprise. Inappropriate and dumb. I will have to tape a card over this to preserve the surprise.
