The 20 Best Gift Baskets of 2025: Find the Perfect Edible Gift

If you’re gifting a cheese-lover, you can’t go wrong with a delivery from Jasper Hill Farm. The Vermonter includes three lovely Vermont-specific cheeses (Whitney, Harbison and Cabot Clothbound Cheddar) plus Brewer’s Sea Salt Crackers and Squirrel Stash Nuts.

Olympia Provisions has packed bites inspired by the best of Europe into this tasty box of snacks. Salami made in the styles of France, Italy, Spain and Greece is the main event, but there’s also paté, a wedge of cheese, honey, pickled beets, crackers, hazelnuts, olives and a mini mustard in this heavenly package. You may want to sample some of this gift before you send it out.

It’s only fitting that a “beehive” crate would come with a jar of luscious honey. This gift crate actually gets its name because it’s packed with all sorts of cheeses from Utah-based Beehive Creamery. Our favorite is the Seahive cheese, made from cow’s milk and rubbed with sea salt and honey. Overall, this crate offers a nice blend of curated snacks and aesthetic appeal.

We love these massive cookies from New York’s Levain Bakery. One cookie goes a long way, and if you pop it in the oven for a few minutes, it comes out with a marvelous ooey, gooey center. Each batch of cookies arrives thoughtfully wrapped with cellophane and ribbons and comes packed in a beautiful blue box with a personal message. Get a four-pack for $29, an eight-pack for $49, or a 12-pack for $79.

Oregon-based Salt & Straw churns out deliciously fresh ice cream using local and sustainable ingredients, and as CNET’s David Watsky noted, “it’s become something of a staple on the West Coast.” But wherever your gift recipient lives, they’ll appreciate incredibly inventive flavors like honey lavender, blackberry tamales, and cinnamon and honey fried chicken. You can buy curated packs or make your own selections and mix and match flavors. A minimum order is five pints for $75.

Our CNET office is dangerously close to legendary chocolate shop Recchiuti, located in San Francisco’s Ferry Building. That means that luckily for us, we’ve gotten to sample plenty of the company’s signature chocolates and creative flavors, including bergamot tea, fleur de sel caramel and currant cognac. You can purchase a mixed assortment of chocolates starting at $32, or the company also sells smaller packs of specialty items such as peppermint thins, Pates de Fruits and candied orange peels.

This option will go over especially well with children. There are four gift boxes filled with different chocolate treats from the famous candy emporium Dylan’s Candy Bar. Chocolate-coated pretzels, milk chocolate sandwich cookies, rainbow milk chocolate nonpareils and more will make their day. 

The flavors of the storied Momofuku restaurant and culinary brand are now available at home, and this gift box doesn’t disappoint. Chef David Chang includes his faves: five servings of Soy & Scallion Noodles, Chili Crunch and tamari sauce, plus Spicy Seasoned Salt. Pro tip: If you haven’t tried the spicy-crunchy chili oil, you’re missing out. It has a delightful crunch with just the right amount of heat. You can add it to any dish to elevate your meal, from ramen to grilled chicken to bagels.

Think outside the (gift) box and give beans. Everyone (including O, the Oprah Magazine) has been raving about Rancho Gordo beans, so this is a great gift option for cooks in the know. Included are six bags of the company’s all-time favorite beans, including cooking instructions and tips. 

Actual whiskey is not included in Man Crates’ Whiskey Appreciation Crate, but so many other things are. A personalized decanter and glasses, for starters. Your lucky giftee will also find ice sphere molds, coasters, savory snacks and even a pocket-sized whiskey-tasting journal to record their notes about favorite drams.
