We were fortunate to pick this up when it was on sale, and frankly it would still have been a bargain at regular price - the bucket is chock full of good stuff - we loved the instant snow, the polymer crystals, everythine. Had a great time with the "cola and mint" geyser. Would make a terrific birthday or holiday present. Highly recommended!!!
