I order pears from Harry and David for a friend every year. My husband was recently gifted with Omaha Steaks and the quality was not what it used to be.
Even Harry & David has uneven quality but they will send another box if you call and complain about a subpar shipment. We have had to complain for ourselves (as recipients) and also people we sent gifts to.
One of the reason I like Harry and David is the presentation. I myself tend to be all about the food and not so much the presentation, but I know my relatives like something beautiful.
Many thanks!
kiddie, what was the change with Omaha Steaks?
I have sent Wofermans before and have been happy with them (have eaten them also).
I will be checking on some of the sites mentioned.
Italian Specialty Foods at Olio2go.com.
Do they love ice cream? Top notch: https://jenis.com/
I’ve received Omaha Steaks and just didn’t think the quality was there. I do much better buying steaks from my local butcher. In fact the choice steaks I get at Walmart are better. But it’s a nice gift.
No one has mentioned citrus fruit from Florida.

Fran’s Chocolates – Anything from Fran’s! Their Salt Caramels were handed out as gifts by the Obama White House for a time. The Double Chocolate Figs were our relatives’ favorite holiday food gift last year. Shipping puts them over $50, though. https://frans.com
We’ve received and gifted Harry & David’s pears in the past but there are enough negative reviews now that I’m not going to give them this year.
Wolfermans is good and sensible, too. The extras can be frozen so a slow eater does not have a lot of waste.
Costco has a great variety of gift baskets that can be ordered online with shipping included.

My mother has commented on the freshness and high quality of the fruit.
Yes, Wolferman’s English muffins freeze well. We like both giving and getting!
Ah…wolfermans! Love them!!
Yes, I think I will order for the two older women from Wolfermans.
I can put together a nice gift for 39.99 with things I think they will enjoy.
Does anyone know if I can bundle and still get the free shipping they are offering for
purchases over $79.00? I may need to call them.
If Omaha steaks are a ? then any other suggestions in that category?
Cowgirl Creamery has excellent cheese (and other items) https://shop.cowgirlcreamery.com/t/1 Have been pleased when I have gifted their products…
You can call to ask about the shipping, but unless they are going to the same address, I doubt you will get free shipping. Let us know what you find out.
Kansas City Steak Company. I have not tried them but was told by someone I send to that they prefer them to Omaha Steaks.
Enstrom toffee – best I’ve ever had! Someone gave it to my husband at the office last Christmas as a corporate gift. I was never a toffee fan but this stuff was like crack! I couldn’t stop eating it! It was incredible.
+1 to Enstrom’s toffee. It is addictively delicious but I would hesitate to give it to elderly people unless they have good teeth.
Young Plantation’s pecans out of SC are very good. My (adult) kids love them, especially the chocolate and candied ones.
Hubb’s Peanuts are amazing. Unfortunately they charge a lot more for shipping than they used to.
