East Coast Gift Basket Recommendations, artisan/regional

That’s useful information @CIEE83. I often wonder if the quality of the delivered gift matches the photo the merchant shows on the web site or catalogue. I used to send gift boxes of navel oranges from a local orchard to friends out east. One year I sent a box to my brother “Mr. Honest” and his family in New York. He called me to let me know how terrible they were, dry and sour. I quizzed my friends and they sheepishly admitted that, yes, the oranges were pretty bad. It’s possible they suffered from poor shipping conditions, but if it weren’t for my brother’s revelation I would still be sending them.
