Why Yes! It's the most tingshariffic gift ever for your loved ones and ones you want to love but have some karma getting in the way, or ones you want to never see again but have some karma keeping you stuck with them, or you friends who wear a lot of turquoise flowing skirts or your niece who you want to have something colorful in her room besides her Dora the Explorer clock and Boots the Monkey Poo Flinging toy! Poor Map, always being used to wipe up Boots' mess... THESE ARE TINGSHAS MADE IN NEPAL AS FINE GIFTS! Yes, we know, Superstar American Buddhist Folks, and Singing Bowl Snobs, they are not ancient ones forged while hundreds of monks were chanting their mystical imprecations and blessings into the foundry so that the metal would bust a nut and open the third eyes of new initiates. We were there in our past lives, we know about that, but guess what, everyone reincarnates and has to work on other issues, like running a business selling gongs!! However, they honor those mystics by emulating their items. Just like bands in the 1980's, dressed very colorfully, like these tingshas, had hits covering many songs from the 60s and 70s. Sure some of them used too much synthesizer, but it was the times, the music industry was full of synth addicts. That is not to say, you cannot say a sweet prayer over these before you use them and love them, and that will indeed make their colorful tune more sacred to you. After all, sacredness is in the ears of the beholder and God's whisper can be heard everywhere, if you listen and don't get all ego-pride-funky about it. Answer to your questions: 1) They all come inside a box, wrapped. 2) They are about 2.5 to 3 inches in diameter 3) These are all mixed and matched.
