The 30 Best Gift Baskets of 2024: Find the Perfect Edible Gift

When it comes to edible gifts, Harry & David is a classic choice. The company is known for its gorgeous boxes of juicy pears, but you can find plenty more that will please even the pickiest palate. We’re fans of Harry’s Gift Box , which offers all the greatest hits at an affordable price. For $60, you’ll get:

• Half a dozen pears
• Moose Munch popcorn
• Hickory Smoked Summer Sausage
• Sharp white cheddar cheese
• Mixed nuts

The flavors of the legendary Momofuku restaurant and culinary brand are now available at home, and this gift box doesn’t disappoint. Chef David Chang adds his favorites: five servings of Soy & Scallion Noodles, Chili Crunch and tamari sauce, plus Spicy Seasoned Salt. Pro tip: If you haven’t tried the spicy-crunchy chili oil, you’re missing out. It has a delicious crunch with just the right amount of heat. You can add it to any dish to enhance your meal, from ramen to grilled chicken to bagels.

Nothing says comfort food like freshly baked cookies. We love these giant cookies from New York’s Levain Bakery. One cookie goes a long way, and when you pop them in the oven for a few minutes, they come out with a deliciously gooey, chewy center. Each batch of cookies is carefully wrapped with cellophane and ribbons and comes in a beautiful blue box with a personalized message. Get a four-pack for $29, an eight-pack for $49, or a twelve-pack for $79.

Start their morning off right with crispy, buttery croissants fresh from the oven. This mixed assortment of 12 pastries will transport your friends or loved ones straight to Paris with every buttery, crispy bite. Each box contains an assortment of chocolate croissants, au beurre croissants, almond croissants, kouign amann batons, chocolate kouign amann, and pain aux raisins. The pastries come frozen, so you can defrost them one by one or eat as many as you like, which may well be all of them.

Zingerman’s is a beloved Michigan-based brand, but since it ships nationwide for free, these gift boxes are open to anyone. The Weekender Gift Box is the most popular option. The colorful box contains an assortment of sweet and savory treats, including bread, cheese, beef sticks, coffee cake, peanut butter, and more. Everything we tried held up well during shipping and arrived fresh, with flavors reminiscent of the Midwest. We liked that the baked goods came with instructions about freezing them if you’re not eating them right away.

HBO’s Sex and the City had everyone rushing to try Magnolia Bakery’s cupcakes in the early 2000s, but the banana pudding is the real star of the show. If you’ve never tried it, order it right away. Then order a pudding sampler for a friend. Each sampler pack includes two red velvet banana pudding cups, two chocolate hazelnut banana pudding cups, and two classic banana pudding cups.

Give your friends and loved ones a taste of Southern comfort. Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit is located in Charleston, SC and delivers sweet and savory 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 whenever you’re craving butter cookies. We tried the Charleston Cravings Biscuit Sampler (linked below) and especially enjoyed the sausage biscuits and pimento cheese.

The perfect gift basket for anyone who loves to snack, the Good as Gold Classic Basket holds a variety of sweet treats. Almond Roca, Ghiradelli caramel squares, truffles, espresso beans, chocolate-dipped caramel popcorn, lemon cookies, and more are placed in a woven gift basket and finished with a note card.

See’s Candies offers all sorts of seasonal treats (right now it’s all about the Milk Caramel Apple Scotchmallows), but the famed chocolate purveyor’s Signature Gift Pack is a winner any time of year. It’s a box full of delicious goodies, including assorted chocolates, nuts and chews, Toffee-ettes, peanut butter and assorted lollipops. That pretty much covers all of See’s greatest hits.

Skip the savory and go for the sugary. (Kids will love this one.) There are four gift boxes filled with assorted chocolate treats from the famous candy shop Dylan’s Candy Bar. Chocolate-covered pretzels, milk chocolate sandwich cookies, rainbow milk chocolate nonpareils, and more will make their day.

If you’re giving a cheese lover a gift, you can’t go wrong with a delivery from Jasper Hill Farm. The Vermonter includes three delicious Vermont-specific cheeses (Whitney, Harbison, and Cabot Clothbound Cheddar) plus Brewer’s Sea Salt Crackers and Squirrel Stash Nuts.

Actual whisky isn’t included in Man Crates’ Whisky Appreciation Crate, but so much else is. A personalised decanter and glasses, for starters. Your lucky recipient will also find ice scoops, coasters, savoury snacks and even a pocket-sized whisky tasting journal to jot down their notes on favourite drams.

Olympia Provisions has packed bites inspired by the best of Europe into this tasty snack box. Salami made in the styles of France, Italy, Spain and Greece is the main event, but there’s also pate, a piece of cheese, honey, pickled beets, crackers, hazelnuts, olives and a mini mustard in this heavenly package. You might want to try a little of this gift before you send it off.

Think outside the (gift) box and give beans. Everyone (including O, Oprah Magazine) raves about Rancho Gordo beans, so this is a great gift for cooks who know their stuff. Includes six bags of the company’s favorite beans, complete with cooking instructions and tips.
