From those listed in this thread, I've used nuts.com and Harry and David and been happy with both. A couple of years ago someone sent me some chocolate dipped strawberries....I wish I could remember what site they were from!
Was it Shari's Berries? My husband received them from a work client and they were absolutely delicious! We were amazed that you could get such wonderful strawberries in December.

That does look familiar. Off to shop!

Maybe there' something similar in your region that would please the recipients?
Thanks for the reminder that I could have this shipped. I just sent a Maroon Gift Pack to my dad and my brother.

Now this is a real splurge but for the seafood lover I recommend Vital Choice. I get wild salmon and halibut from them. The best deal is the 5 pound box of king or sockeye salmon in random weight portions. Excellent quality and really healthy. They sell other seafood and berries, spices and other foods but that is what I normally order from them. Shipped frozen on dry ice.

I also have gifted tea and tea ware from Upton Tea Imports.

One of my clients bought me pecans last Christmas from his cousins pecan farm. The chocolate and praline pecans were amazing.

An update on the Greenberg Smoked Turkey folks - in the true spirit of 2020, they had a fire last weekend that burned their shipping facility and turkey inventory to the ground. There will be no Greenberg Turkeys this year...

In anticipation of the holidays, I've been browsing around looking at stuff and remembered a few sites I'd bookmarked.
L'Epicerie has all sorts of cooking related gifts. They're too expensive for everyday, but I think they'd be an interesting site to browse for foodie gifts:
https://www.lepicerie.com

I'm seriously thinking of ordering myself some blackberry syrup from Monin. Lucked into one bottle at a local grocery store, but haven't been able to find it since. It's wonderful with just a bit of seltzer, but I also like it as an add in for lemonade, or with a bit of tonic water for a more grown-uppy non-alcoholic drink.

They've got tons of flavors, so if you like flavored seltzer drinks, or DIY flavored lemonades or flavored coffee ... . https://www.monin.com/us/shop

I'm struggling to make myself order this early, but delays are apparently still a problem.

Back in my restaurant days where I made coffee drinks we had tons of Monin flavors. They are so good! Just wanted to add that they are great with steamed milk (especially the almond flavoring...yum!) Sometimes you can find Monin at Marshalls/TJ Maxx/Homegoods.

And to go along with the steamed milk, this little wonder of a milk frother.
https://www.amazon.com/Bonsenkitchen...280800&sr=8-21

Just microwave some milk, pop the frother in, give it a whirl, and voila!
