I was offered the opportunity to try ordering from Gift Baskets Overseas. There were so many different baskets that I liked that I had a hard time picking the one I wanted. After browsing for a good hour I finally decided on the Gourmet Skyscraper.

After placing my order I received email confirmation of that order very quickly. My order arrived at my door a few days later.

The Gourmet Skyscraper consisted of 8 matching boxes. It looked quite impressive. In case you’re wondering how big it really was, here’s a picture of my hand next to the two bottom boxes. The tower must have stood a good four foot tall.

I eagerly unwrapped each box. It was sort of like a mini Christmas with food.

My Yummy Delights gift basket contained apples, oranges, pears, chocolate covered nuts, cheese, cookies, crackers, chocolate meltaway mints, scissors and a $10 coupon for orders placed online. The fruit looked gorgeous and tasted fresh. The cookies, individually wrapped, were soft and fresh. The rosemary garlic crackers were fresh, surprisingly tasty and crunchy. The cheese was a softer flavored cheese that was mild and tasty. What was most impressive is that everything looked and tasted good. Nothing was melted or broken in shipping.
