The 20 Best Gift Baskets of 2025: Find the perfect edible gift

When it comes to edible gifts, Harry & David is a classic choice. The company is known for its exquisite boxes of delicious pears, but you can find more that will satisfy even the pickiest palates. We’re fans of Harry’s Gift Box, which offers the best songs at affordable prices. For $60 you get:

• Half a dozen pears
• Moose Monk Popcorn
• Hickory-smoked summer sausage
• Sharp white cheddar cheese
• Mixed nuts

This one gets a boost from our team for including a bottle of Veuve Clicquot, a champagne that instantly elevates any gift basket. The McCreas caramel, among other goodies, is a nice touch as well. This sophisticated gift basket will make your loved one feel special no matter the occasion, whether you’re celebrating a birthday, the holidays, or just saying “thank you.”

Zingerman’s is a beloved brand in Michigan, but since they ship nationwide for free, everyone can enjoy these gift boxes. The Weekend Gift Box is the most popular option. The colorful box contains a variety of delicious treats, including bread, cheese, beef sticks, coffee cakes, peanut brittle, and more. Everything we sampled held up well during shipping and arrived fresh with flavors that evoke the Midwest. We liked that the baked goods had instructions on freezing them if you don’t plan to eat them right away.

Manhattan Fruitier in New York is known for its carefully curated gift baskets, and this fruit and snack tower is no exception. Inside this snack tower you’ll find a delightful assortment of your most popular items, from fresh fruit, orange slices and chocolate-covered pretzels, to a variety of nuts, trail mix and more.

Give your friends and loved ones a taste of southern comfort. Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit is based in Charleston, South Carolina, and delivers sweet and salty butter cookies straight to your door. The cookies arrive fully cooked and frozen, so all you have to do is pop them in the oven when you’re ready for butter cookies. We tried the Charleston Cravings Biscuit Sampler (linked below) and particularly enjoyed the sausage and pimento cheese biscuits.

Start your morning off the right way with crispy, buttery croissants hot from the oven. This mixed assortment of 12 pastries will transport your friends or loved ones straight to Paris with every crunchy, chewy bite. Each box contains an assortment of chocolate croissants, croissants au beurre, almond croissants, cuijen amann batons, chocolate cuijen amann, and pine au raisins. The pastries arrive frozen, so you can defrost them one at a time or eat as many as you want, which could be all of them.

Carb lovers will be thrilled with this set of English muffins from Model Bakery. These are so English muffins Oprah admitted I flew in specifically from Napa Valley. Goldbelly offers a variety of options. A package of 12 muffins with a jar of seasonal preserves costs $60.

If your gift recipient loves East Coast classics, this New York Bread Box is the perfect solution. This selection from the legendary Russ & Daughters includes some of the best hand-rolled bread in town, spreadable cream and our decadent Nova Luxe to layer on top. Finishing touches include a rich chocolate babka, a bag of Private Blend coffee and a Russ & Daughters ceramic mug to enjoy in style.

Whether you want to impress everyone at a party or spoil someone who lives far away, the Borderie Sharing Board is the perfect choice.

Everything is carefully pre-arranged and ready to serve. Just remove the cellophane wrappings.

Classic cheese and charcuterie boards start at $129. The holiday boards start at $139, but you’ll need to order yours quickly since these boards tend to sell out.

If you’re gifting a cheese lover, you can’t go wrong with delivery from Jasper Hill Farm. The Vermonter includes three great Vermont cheeses (Whitney, Harbison, and Cabot Clothbond Cheddar) as well as Brewer’s Sea Salt Crackers and Squirrel Hide Nuts.

Olympia Provisions has packed meals inspired by the best of Europe into this delicious snack box. Salami made in the style of France, Italy, Spain and Greece is the main event, but there’s also pate, a sliver of cheese, honey, pickled beets, crackers, hazelnuts, olives and a little mustard in this delightful package. You may want to try out some of this gift before sending it.

It’s fitting that the “Beehive” box comes with a jar of delicious honey. This gift box gets its name because it’s filled with all kinds of cheeses from Utah-based Beehive Creamery. Our favorite is the Seahive cheese, made from cow’s milk and rubbed with sea salt and honey. Overall, this box offers a great combination of coordinated snacks and aesthetic appeal.

We love these giant cookies from Levin Bakery in New York. One cake goes a long way, and if you pop it in the oven for a few minutes, it comes out with a wonderful gooey center. Each batch of cookies arrives carefully wrapped in cellophane and ribbon and comes packaged in a beautiful blue box with a personal message. Get a four-pack for $29, an eight-pack for $49, or a 12-pack for $79.

Oregon-based Salt & Straw produces delicious fresh ice cream using local, sustainable ingredients CNET’s David Watsky noted“It’s become a staple on the West Coast.” But wherever the gift recipient lives, he or she will appreciate incredibly innovative flavors like honey lavender, blackberry tamales, and honey cinnamon fried chicken. You can purchase coordinating packs or make your own selections and mix and match flavors. Minimum order is five pints for $75.

Our CNET office is located perilously close to the legendary chocolate shop Recchiuti, located in San Francisco’s Ferry Building. This means that fortunately for us, we were able to sample plenty of the company’s signature chocolates and creative flavours, including Bergamot Tea, Caramel Ciel Rose and Currant Cognac. You can buy an assortment of chocolates starting at $32, or the company also sells smaller packages of specialty items like mint chips, pates de fruits, and candied orange peels.

This option will be especially good with children. There are four gift boxes filled with different types of chocolates from the famous candy store Dylan’s Candy Bar. Chocolate dipped pretzels, milk chocolate sandwich cookies, rainbow milk chocolate and much more will make their day special.

The flavors of the popular Momofuku restaurant and culinary brand are now available at home, and this gift box will not disappoint. Chef David Chang serves up his favorite dishes: five servings of soy noodles, scallions, chili sauce and tamari sauce, plus spicy seasoned salt. Pro Tip: If you haven’t tried crunchy chili oil, you’re missing out. It tastes delicious with just the right amount of heat. You can add it to any dish to elevate your meal, from ramen to grilled chicken to bread.

Think outside the (gift) box and serve the beans. Everyone (including Oprah Magazine) has been raving about Rancho Gordo beans, so this is a great gift option for experienced chefs. Includes six bags of the company’s all-time favorite beans, including cooking instructions and tips.

Actual whiskey is not included in Man Crates’ Whiskey Appreciation Box, but many other things are. Beaker and cups for beginners. Your lucky giftee will also find snowball molds, cups, delicious snacks, and even a pocket-sized whiskey tasting notebook to record their notes on favorite dramas.
