I honestly didn't know what to expect. I left the field open for almost anything with the likes/dislikes I gave. I eat low-carb and mentioned that but also said I'd be down for some great candy for this special occasion. When I got the box it was so heavy I was scared that if it was candy I'd be heading into a coma! I was very surprised by the hand-picked/hand-made/home-grown snacks I received. I was very excited and very appreciative of such a thoughtful gift. I've tried all of it already and it is sooo good.
