Best selection tin of chocolates?

We have a family tradition of filling an ancient old decorative glass bowl with chocolates to sit on the coffee table throughout Christmas. It was my grandmother's bowl, that I have now inherited.

When I was a child, it was always filled with a mix of Roses and Terry's Neapolitans.
But Roses are a bit rubbish now, and Neapolitans don't exist.

I usually do a Lindt pick and mix, but with lockdown I can't get to the shop . I've looked at Lindt selections in the shops locally but there aren't all the interesting flavours we like.

I want the chocolates to have the wow factor they had in my childhood.

The packaging is VERY important to me - I like the crinkly noise and bright colours as you rifle through, so they have to be colourful.

Has anyone seen any good selections? (Ideally something that has all the flavours of Cadbury's Roses of the 1980s).
Quality Street are the obvious ones, but I just feel they aren't that great.

I saw the M&s neapolitans today. They are good for xmas chocolates and sweets. I noticed their equivalent of Roses/QS is in a cardboard tub, which is better than the plastic tubs heroes and celebrities come in. Although I think heroes do a larger tin

The Thornton’s moments wrapped ones are really nice and I think are quite reasonably priced. The individual chocs are quite small (which means I don’t feel like piggy for eating five of them....)
