There is a disclaimer that notes this on the site when you place your order, but it's something to keep in mind if you had your heart set on a specific product making into the gift. Mouth received high scores overall, but we took off one point since three items we originally ordered were swapped out with another snack.

Price at time of publish: $80 for the Manhattan Fruitier Chocolate Confections Gift Tower This gift basket lost some points for ordering and selection, as it stood out to us that most gifts cost a minimum of $50 and the basket we selected had a $12 shipping fee-a significant markup if you're on a budget. If you're concerned about ingredients and allergens, those are clearly printed on the boxes, but the information is placed so as not to get in the way of the presentation of the gift. We gave it high scores for taste, which make sense since they ship perishable foods directly from their vendors for freshness. A twine string held the boxes together neatly in a stack, and a decorative gifting bow adorned the boxes, just as pictured. If that's a bit outside your price range, there are plenty of simpler options, including some just filled with cheese or fruit and nuts.ĭuring testing, we loved the high-end feel of the packaging. Our favorite options come in luxurious wooden crates, like the best-selling Tour de France Gift Crate that comes stocked with smoked salmon, brie, and even caviar. It offers a variety of food items, including meat and cheeses to fruit, but it especially has a ton of chocolate treats and confections, perfect for the holidays. You can always count on Williams Sonoma when looking for a food gift basket with a luxury feel-in fact, the store offers its own exclusive collection every holiday season.

Splurge: Bountiful Harvest Fruit Gift Basket.

Price at time of publish: $150 for Artisan Meat and Cheese Gift with Wine Otherwise, the food items paired nicely together, and we found even the smallest size of the basket was more than enough food to share between two people over a couple of snacking sessions. However, most of the items were snacks that could be kept in the pantry for weeks anyways, but also included was a Hickory-smoked summer sausage and a block of white cheddar cheese-so if a recipient doesn't open within a couple of hours of the box arriving, these foods could go bad quickly. One thing to note: Upon delivery, we found that there weren't any labels on the box letting the recipient know there were perishable items inside.

We also like that customers are able to choose smaller and larger versions of the same basket, depending on who you're shopping for and your budget. Though there are a lot of options to choose from on the site, we found it wasn't a headache to make a final selection thanks to how easy the site is to navigate and filter.
