I've had my fair share of disappointments with gift sets, but this one's a refreshing change. After a string of financial setbacks, I was starting to lose hope, but then I stumbled upon this little gem that's a great value for money.
Now, I wouldn't say this gift set is revolutionary or packed with premium goodies, but it's affordable, which makes it a great value for money. You can find it in Magnit and Perekrestok stores for 300-250 rubles. I bought it at Lenta, and you can also catch it on Ozon.
This gift set isn't super popular, and it didn't even have its own section in the store. It's called 'Kamin' M&M's & Friends.

The box itself is a decent size, but it's a bit narrow and smells like a letdown. Plus, it's super lightweight, but according to the packaging, it's supposed to weigh almost 300 grams of candy.
I've got to say, the design is pretty nice and festive – it's the kind of thing you'd buy as a gift for someone on New Year's Eve.
I think kids would love it, but I've got one question that I'll get to later.
It's really easy to hold in your hand, and it's basically weightless.

There's some protection on the box, with Scotch tape in three places.

The back of the box has all the contents listed.

They've got a bunch of different candies, but you've got a chance to get Skittles or Twix that are the size of a matchbox.
Let's open it up.

It looks like there's a lot of candy, and everything's in normal sizes.

I've got to say, it would've been more logical to call this set Skittles, because there are three packs of them. And as for the M&M's, there's only one pack, with peanuts. They didn't even include any with chocolate. It's just...
But at least the packs are standard size. I think this would be a great gift for kids or Skittles fans.
So, to summarize: three flavors of Skittles, standard, sour, and some new one.xa0

The flavors here are kinda weird. I'm not a fan of Skittles, so I'm not up to date on their latest releases.
Mars M&M's & Friends Gift Set Reviews I like the Twix, but the M&M's are a letdown - no chocolate. There's a Milky Way bar and a Bounty. I haven't seen a Bounty in a hundred years. And two other candies - a Snickers and a Milky Way.

They kind of phoned it in with this gift set, and they could've thrown in more M&M's - there were some limited-edition ones in there...
I'm not really sure why they call it a Mars M&M's gift set, since M&M's are barely in it. But at least they didn't include the Anniversary thing like they did in the Milky Way set, like in the Milky Way set, so that's a plus.
On the other hand, if you count all the candies in the box, the total comes out to be more than 250 rubles at current prices. Mars M&M's & Friends Gift Set Reviews
I checked the prices in our city at Magnit.
M&ms finally cost 75 rubles. Skittles of this format are 60 rubles per pack. Twix is 60 rubles. Milky Way is 32 rubles. Bounty is 68 rubles.
It's already up to 415 rubles, and I don't even know how to count the Snickers and Milky Way candies.
Let's round it up to 450 rubles. And in December, this box was sold for 700!!! (On Ozon, someone still has it for 1000r.+ What's the point of that? But for 250-300 rubles, it's a good deal.
And there are bookmarks as a gift. I don't know why they'd be needed, but okay.

What the Jewish Santa Claus brings to bad girls. Milka Winter Mix 'how they stole it' or 'threw it into the box, whatever they found', or maybe 'Winter Mix shut up and eat it'
'Favorite since childhood': opened, decided that someone had stolen half of my candies. What's the composition, and do they change it every year?
