I have about 10 business associates around the country that I need to send a holiday gift to. I always like to send food products and would love any suggestions. I'm looking for the kind of thing that anyone would like to receive and could use during the holidays for their personal entertaining or family dining... special cakes or baked goods? cheeses? something local from this area?
Obviously, major concerns about presentation and how the item looks when it is received. Thanks for any thoughts! (Oh, and I can spend up to $100 per gift, including shipping.) |
| Cowgirl Creamery? |

my boss ordered me a package from here and it was awesome. Homemade (non commercial looking candies) that also looked professional and just really high quality. I think the original store moved or closed, but they still exist apparently. I'm sure you could go in person to see the packaging and have a taste. |
| William Sonoma chocolate croissants are THE BEST!!!!! |
| Someone sent us Cheryl's cookies and they were great. |
|
Individuals, or offices?
I love getting popcorn buckets at the office. I know, they're not high end or fancy. But they sure are a hit with the whole staff. |
| Harry & David fruit, cheese, and chocolate basket. |
OP here. These will be going to individuals. Thanks for the suggestions! |
| Zingerman's (the weekender box is amazing). |
|
I want to throw a "no" vote out on Cheryl's cookies. They are VERY sweet and frosting smothered. Mrs. Fields is better!
|
| Love Cheryl's cookies. Not all are frosted but I loved the chocolate frosted ones. |
| Harry and David French Riviera Pears are always loved here. One year I got a huge Ms Prindables apple dipped in chocalate and caramel from Saks and it is still talked about. |
| Harry and David fruits. Georgetown Cupcakes -it's about $60 to send a dozen. Wolfermans muffins. |
NP here - great tips. Does Georgetown Cupcakes ship? |
Yes GTown ships. It's expensive but works. They freeze the cupcakes, use a special box and include ice packs. I've done it a couple of times and they arrived in great shape. |
