Is a configurable giftbasket a variant product?

[rhodebump]

I have a product that is a giftbasket.  This giftbasket can be ordered in 3 different ways.

1) $75 With wine

2) $20 With cookies

3) $30 With candy

I am trying to get my head around variants, features, configurations and when I would use each of these things.  I was hoping that someone would be able to tell me how they would setup this product so I direct my focus to that solution.

Thank you.

A marketing package might be the way to go, but it's hard to tell with
the details you given.  Marketing packages consist of a combination of
real products that are assembled into one product on the fly as the
order is created.  Check out the GZ-BASKET product in the demo data.

I checked it out and I will keep looking at the admin screens to try to figure it out.  I am not sure if the Marketing product is the way to go.

If you could, please check out what I am trying to setup in ofbiz, I am porting a store I did in my own java-based cart over to ofbiz.

A marketing package looks like a good fit to me, you have two products
(bucket, wine) and are selling them as one. During order creation the
stock for bucket and wine will go down and the stock of bucket with
wine (the marketing package) will increase ready to be shipped.

BTW I just committed a fix for a bug that was preventing marketing
packages from being created properly so if your checking it out, it
may pay to update your version.

Now that the ver 4.0 app is in full swing with my client
I am getting bug reports.
It seems there is a push not to have these put in for ver4.0
should I put them only for the Trunk?
Does this change the priority of getting them fixed if not in the ver 4.0?

What leads you to think that? These are clearly very important.

It would be good to test against the trunk too, but you don't have  
to, just file the bug and select the 4.0 version and off you go...
