OT - Mail order food gifts

There are several people on my Christmas list that I usually order a food gift for. I’ve had success with Aunt Ruby’s peanuts, the Popcorn Factory, O & H Bakery and, of course, Honeybaked Hams and Hickory Farms. I was just wondering, though, if there are some great places that I have never heard of. The kind of food doesn’t matter - just looking for some new places with good products. Any recommendations? Thanks!

I like Harry & David for fruit. They have other stuff too.

I think I used Harry and David years ago for fruit. It was very good. Although tea is not technically a food, I have also had success with Sips By and Perfekt Perk.

We've ordered from Golden State Fruit many times and were happy with their products and service.

I have not ordered from them, but a friend really liked "nuts.com"

If anyone you are buying for likes to bake, King Arthur has a great selection and wonderful customer service.

my mom got this from one of the neighbors. it was a subscription and she received 1 box of fruit a month. additionally, it was sent from somewhere on the mainland to Hawaii each month. the fruits were fresh, wrapped securely, and delicious.

We have also used Harry and David’s but mainly for their pear gift boxes when there is a special deal.

Thanks for all the great ideas. I hadn’t heard about many of these places and really want to try something new.

Here's another I've heard of: https://www.garrettpopcorn.com/

Haven't had the chance to try it myself, though.
