This story is part of Gift Guide, our year-round collection of the best gift ideas.
They say the way to the heart is through the stomach, which is why edible gift baskets always make for the perfect gift. An edible gift basket doesn’t require the recipient to worry about storage and allows them to indulge in anything from baked goods to gourmet popcorn. So why not indulge in some gift-worthy goodies during the holiday season? Whether you’re buying for someone with a sweet tooth, or you need something on the savory side, we’ve found all the best gift baskets that feature food.
Depending on your food gift basket needs, there are lots of options available. If you’re all about candy, we recommend See’s Candies for chocolate-lovers, or Dylan’s Candy Bar for the kid at heart. For meat lovers, there’s a charcuterie box from Olympia Provisions or a classic Hickory Farms set. If you’re after a sweet treat that’s a little different, we love a Rancho Gordo beans gift box or a collection of trendy hot cocoa bombs. And if you want a classic mix, head for a Harry & David assortment of gourmet goodies or a Williams Sonoma food hamper. (And if that doesn’t sound fancy to you then don’t worry: It most assuredly is!)
We know you’re on the hunt for a unique gift, so we’ve got you covered with a food gift basket idea for every possible giftee. And the best part of giving food items for the holidays? Whichever flavor direction you go, you can always offer to help eat this perfect gift.
