It was worth every cent!


I have heard your product promoted on WGN radio for years, and wanted to do something special for my mom and dad's 48th anniversary so I sent them a live Maine Lobster & Fillet Mignon package. They don't go out to eat very often, and since it's been so horribly cold & snowy in their area, I thought it would be fun. On delivery day the weather was awful. At 4:30 Mom put a frozen pizza in the oven. The FedEx driver came about 5:30 as they were eating their supper... so they had to wait until the next day to enjoy their lobsters. My mom was so excited when she opened the box. She could not get over how beautifully everything was packed and thoughtfully included. She called me 3 times before they even took a bite! "Did I tell you there was a fresh lemon in there?" she said on call #2. Call 3: "The crystal candle holder is so beautiful, and they even put matches in the box! Can you believe that???" They ate the lobster (saved the steaks and bisque) and said it was excellent. My dad is pretty easy to please. Mom is fussier - very classy lady. They're both economical and I about fell over when mom said, "I know that must've cost a pretty penny... but it was worth every cent. I don't know when we ever enjoyed something more, and opening those boxes was better than Christmas." Thank you for helping me celebrate their love and commitment and making their anniversary a truly special occasion. Please pass my thanks along to the whole team for the quality, thought, and TLC. I will definitely order again and pass this idea along to others. It is a perfect gift.
