We get zingerman’s cinnamon buns every year from a friend and they are good but not amazing.
My mom likes the corned beef meal from Katz’s. The cake boss cakes held up perfectly. We got a lobster dinner via gold belly that was a fortune and it was good but slightly annoying bc some stuff came frozen, other stuff needed to be cooked. Couldn’t just enjoy.
I think non-perishables do better honestly. Fishers or Garrett popcorn. Vinebox is super fun. Pears from Harry and David. Or you can just Instacart something locally to your recipient. I door dashed my friend a pie from a local bakery.
I agree with this completely. So much so that I think we should be friends.
