SAME gift basket: Guess which one is from 2021, and which one is from 2026

GEEEEZUS,

This is the same gift basket, by the same company, for the same price($35). The only difference is 2021 vs 2026 -- they should be VERY embarrassed. I used to order a few smallish gift basket here and there, great for weekend family get togethers as a host family thank you gift -- but I will never buy anything from Gift Basket Village again.

End-stage capitalism really sucks.

EDIT: Someone rightly pointed out that cost to have it the same would be $43 due to inflation. I am aware of that. I would rather have the same thing for $8 more, than have this sad pack. ALSO: if this is all they could afford to keep it at cost, then at least keep the bow and calling card on it to make it look like some effort was put into it. It is the not giving a carp attitude that is the most galling.

I am sick of companies currently acting pi$$ed off that they have to go through customers to get money.
