The 53 Best Food Gifts You Can Order Online Right This Minute

Almost anyone with a sweet tooth will appreciate this food gift, including PureWow editor Abby Hepworth. "They make [ordering] incredibly easy and everything was packaged so beautifully."

"I love sending Levain cookie bundles for birthdays, Mother's Day, really anything," PureWow executive managing editor Catrina Yohay adds. "They have locations all over the country now, but the bakery's roots are in New York, so to me, there's nothing more iconic—it's like sending someone a little slice of home."

Whether you go with a four-, eight- or 12-pack, your friend will get a taste of Levain Bakery's best-selling cookie flavors: chocolate chip walnut, dark chocolate chocolate chip, dark chocolate peanut butter chip and oatmeal raisin. The cookies come neatly packed in cellophane bags tied with blue ribbons.

I'm predicting a barbecue in someone’s future. With top sirloin, filet mignon, lobster tail, ribeye and boneless strip steaks, there’s a cut in this box for every carnivore on your list.

"The filet mignon was outrageously tender," PureWow VP of editorial Candace Davison says. "It rivaled some of the best steakhouses I've ever been to, making me truly understand the appeal of special-ordering a steak over going to your local butcher. The marbling, the quality—I was blown away."

All the steaks are aged for four to six weeks and graded top one-third USDA Choice or higher. Your family’s resident grillmaster will be psyched.

Anything edible on Oprah's Favorite Things list is likely a solid food gift idea, no? Boarderie is famous for its artisanal cheese boards that are chef-made and pre-assembled, so all your giftee will need to do is unwrap and dig in. This pick is arranged with a whopping 37 ingredients (meat! cheese! nuts! chocolates! spreads!) for up to ten people. The order also includes three boxes of crackers, a chic wooden serving board and bamboo cutlery kits for serving.

"It makes for a thoughtful housewarming, bereavement or celebratory gift too, particularly if you're miles away from the giftee," Davison explains.

Graza's nutrient-dense oils are the result of cofounder Andrew Benin's three-year-long stay in Spain, where he admired the region's adoration for the ingredient. He then set out to create a product that was on par with what he tasted. Drizzle is a finishing oil meant to be used in raw applications. Sizzle is an all-purpose oil designed for cooking.

Both are delicious, irresistibly fresh and ideal for your foodie BFF looking to experiment with new pantry staples. "It's simple, sleek and fun to open," says Hepworth. "I also think it's worth the splurge for protected shipping (if your bottles are damaged before arrival, they’ll send a replacement), just to be safe."

Want to spice up your upcoming date night? Surprise your special someone with this best-selling variety set from the beloved Magnolia Bakery. Anyone with a sweet tooth will be happy to indulge in a brownie and blondie combo, as well as a variety of the bakery's infamous banana puddings, including classic, red velvet and chocolate hazelnut.

"Magnolia Bakery's banana pudding travels beautifully and holds up remarkably well in the fridge," Davison attests. "I thought that it'd get icy or lose its signature fluffiness upon delivery, but I can confirm it's just as good as buying it in the store! The blondies and brownies are also fudgy and dense, with a light, crackly top. It's pretty much a guaranteed crowd-pleaser."

Grazing board, anyone? Bust out the fancy cheese plate and dig into this mouthwatering spread. It includes four cheeses—aged English cheddar, cave-aged Gruyère, Murray's stilton and Selles-Sur-Cher—plus pumpkin butter, sopressata, bresaola, two types of crackers and Castelvetrano olives (whew!). Sure, it's ideal for an aspiring cheesemonger, but also for a hostess who's ready to feast on some delicious fromage.

Know someone who needs a comforting pick-me-up? You'll get to choose between soup and mac and cheese for them. If you go with soup, there are four flavors to choose from, like chicken noodle and garden vegetable. It also comes with rolls and cookies for good measure. Soups come in FDA-approved, food-safe plastic tubs with washable bonnets that double as microwaveable splatter covers.

"My dad missed Thanksgiving last year because he had COVID," PureWow director of audience development Mary Rogers explains, "so my husband and I sent him a soup care package. He absolutely loved it; it was the perfect thing for him while he was resting and getting better, and it also made me feel better that I could do something for him while being far away."

Of all the stellar treats this gourmet chocolate company offers, this is the best-selling overall. An array of colors and designs awaits in this box, which is filled with ten to 20 flavors of chocolate ganache-filled truffles.

There are also artisanal chocolate bars worth considering. "The innovative chocolates and unique flavor profiles will always be some of my favorites," former PureWow assistant editor Delia Curtis says. "It's a bit pricey, which is why it's a good gift. I wouldn't always splurge on bars for myself, but if someone gifts them to me, I'm the happiest of campers. I'm a sucker for the Donuts and Coffee chocolate bar. I don't know how they did it, but it's replicated so perfectly."

We all know someone who lives for seafood—shrimp, salmon and lobster are their favorite things to eat. For them, I suggest this surf and turf kit. Luke's Lobster partnered with Maine's Pineland Farms to curate the assortment, which includes two of the brand's sustainably sourced four- to five-ounce lobster tails and two of Pineland's six-ounce tenderloin steaks.

Admit it: You've wanted to taste the Barefoot Contessa's confections for years. Now you can, thanks to her partnership with Goldbelly. This crowd-pleaser boasts layers of rich chocolate cake spiked with coffee and decadent chocolate buttercream frosting. The moment I took the cake out of the box, a roasty, bittersweet aroma coaxed me to cut it open. The bitterness of the coffee and semisweet chocolate shone through, and the crumb was a bit dense, but I really loved the frosting. It was adorned with rounded, shallow swoops, and was plentiful without being excessive. There's also a coconut cake on the menu, if that's more your speed.

Salt & Straw is famous for its next-level, unconventional ice cream flavors. With this three-, six- or 12-month subscription, the scoop stan in your life will be hooked up with the brand's newest pints, from fresh berry flavors in July to holiday-inspired classics in December. Best of all, if your ice cream doesn't arrive in tip-top condition, Salt & Straw will send you a new shipment on the house.

Tinned fish is having a major moment, and if you ask me, it's about damn time. I'm thinking this is just the ticket for that one friend who's always noshing on the latest food trend. Savor rainbow trout, salmon and mackerel, all brined in sea salt, EVOO and garlic, then smoked in small batches and hand-packed.

"This multi-pack is a great gift for tinned fish newbies," says former PureWow wellness director Sarah Stiefvater. "The fish is super tasty, but not so adventurous that it won't delight pickier eaters. And don't even get me started on Fishwife's branding—I would live inside these chic boxes if I could."

You can't go wrong with this six-pack of Belgian chocolate bars, which are just as pretty on the outside as they are tasty on the inside. "The colorful packaging stands out and the quality of the chocolate is really good for the price," says former PureWow assistant editor Nakeisha Campbell. "Also, the fact that they're a sustainable brand is a huge bonus."

The giftee will get to sink their teeth into Tony's plain milk chocolate, milk chocolate caramel sea salt, milk chocolate nougat, dark chocolate almond sea salt, milk chocolate hazelnut and 70 percent dark chocolate varieties. Let's hope they're in a sharing mood.

Does your friend secretly buy cookie dough just to eat it straight from the package? If so, they'll love receiving a Deux delivery of better-for-you treats. I recommend going with a variety of the brand's best-selling cookie dough flavors: Think cinnamon roll, birthday cake and grandma's oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, for instance. They'll have the option to eat them all straight from the jar or bake at 350°F. You can also add doughnut holes to the mix if you'd prefer.

Whether they're all about steak or love cooking salmon, they'll be happy to receive Butcher Box in the mail. The delivery subscription service sources meat and seafood from top-tier partners to create curated boxes for individuals and families to enjoy. Inside, they'll find eight to 11 pounds of meat, which makes 24 meals.

"I gave Butcher Box to my husband for his birthday one year and honestly, it was kind of a gift to myself," PureWow editor-in-chief Jillian Quint raves. "The quality of the meat was superb and we loved having meals arrive monthly that we just didn't have to think about; [we could] throw the steaks on the grill and go about our day." Choose from 100 percent grass-fed beef, free-range organic chicken, humanely raised pork and wild-caught seafood.

This variety pack from Milk Bar comes with a dozen B’Day Truffles, six creative cookies (from oatmeal cream to cornflake chocolate chip marshmallow) and the famous Milk Bar Pie. I'm pretty sure anyone would be happy to receive this in the mail, but it’s especially fitting for birthdays or a celebration you won’t be able to attend in person.

Whether you're the hostess or the guest, no one will mind if this assortment makes an appearance at the dinner party. It includes a bottle of California extra-virgin olive oil, persimmon vinegar, a cookbook and a few other pantry staples. All that's missing is a bottle of wine.

I love broccoli cheddar just as much as the next soup girl, but when you aren't feeling well, broth-based soups (or just broth alone) are what the doctor ordered. This 12-cup assortment includes seven varieties of savory sipping broth to heal the giftee from the inside out.

"All of the flavors are so delicious," Stiefvater asserts. "They're so easy to heat up in the microwave, they're really good for you and they make an incredible get-well-soon gift for someone who's feeling under the weather. Just last week I gave a few bags I had in my pantry to a friend who was sick."

If your pal loves hosting and cooking for guests, they'll love a selection of olive oils and vinegars from Brightland. Crafted in California, the products are high-quality and deliciously multipurpose. And they're worth the hype, says senior commerce editor Stephanie Maida. "I actually bought this set as a gift, then snagged one for myself. I couldn't resist trying the oil and vinegar offerings, which are as flavorful as everyone says."

Choose from their menu of fruit-forward, custom-blended vinegars that will have your buddy's kitchen stocked with products they'll want to use for every meal, or go with The Essential Capsule, which includes two olive oils, raw balsamic vinegar and raw Champagne vinegar.

You're about to upgrade your BFF's movie night, big time. While watching her favorite rom-com or thriller, she'll get to dig into freshly popped popcorn and a delicious assortment of seasonings, like white cheddar and salt and vinegar. She's going to be so excited to snuggle up on the couch and munch away. (All she'll need is a glass of wine and some fuzzy jammies, in case you feel like assembling a gift basket.)

This grain-free, high-protein, low-sugar cereal has a serious cult following—and for good reason. Magic Spoon's flavors are like grown-up versions of your favorite childhood cereals, and the nostalgia got even stronger when they launched crispy cereal treats. This bundle includes three boxes of cereal (Fruity, Peanut Butter and Cocoa) and two types of cereal treats (Marshmallow and Chocolatey Peanut Butter), which are sure to make waking up a little easier for your giftee.

If your friend likes the meat freezer stocked, this subscription box is going to be their favorite food gift of all time. Fill it with their favorite options, whether it's hickory smoked bacon, sirloin steak or wild caught shrimp, or select one of Crowd Cow's pre-planned sets instead. They'll be delighted to slip on their "kiss the cook" apron for you.

"Crowd Cow's Wagyu steaks made me realize just how little I knew about true Wagyu," Davison suggests. "I'd heard that many steaks are mislabeled, but wow—Crowd Cow's A5 Wagyu is buttery and so tender that I could practically cut it with a fork. I've been so conditioned to think thin steaks are tough that I was truly blown away by these. It's the ultimate treat for an anniversary, milestone birthday or special occasion."

Not sure what to buy your boss, MIL or work wife? With Sugarwish, the gifter chooses the category and sets the giftee up with a personalized gift card. Once they have it, they choose their favorite category (options include candy, popcorn, coffee and even candles; I'm partial to the snacks) and subsequent items. Then, it shows up in a cute gift box with a note from the gifter.

"I love that this company lets the giftee choose the food they actually want to receive," says former PureWow commerce director Nicole Briese. "It still feels like you're receiving a gift and not a gift card, which can feel impersonal."

If you can always count on your brother asking for extra hot sauce on his food, this Fly By Jing's bundle is his match made in heaven. The kit comes with some of the brand's tastiest (and spiciest) best-sellers, including the cult-favorite original Sichuan chili crisp, which can be used on everything (even ice cream), plus extra-spicy, extra-crunchy and sweet and spicy iterations. Your bro is sure to get a kick out of tasting each heat-filled treat.

If you live in an area where produce is limited to whatever's at your supermarket, you may miss out on some trendy fruits. Think Cushman's HoneyBells (which are a hybrid of tangerine and grapefruit), cara cara oranges and the freshest pineapple you've ever tasted. With this subscription (whether you choose three, six, nine or 12 months), you can savor top-tier produce on the regular without even needing to hit the grocery store.

Take your friend on a trip around the world without them ever leaving the comfort of their own kitchen. This set comes with a variety of herbs and spices that’ll delight their senses and make them feel like they’re sitting at a Parisian cafe or in the Italian countryside. Stocked with herbs de Provence from France, Italian oregano, smoked paprika from Spain and more, each tin comes with recipes and bread pairings so they can get the full tasting experience. Just add extra-virgin olive oil to the food gift and they'll be good to go.

Candy fanatics often belong to one of two camps: sweet or sour. This brand caters to both teams with rotating confections packed with six signature candies each. That can include everything from candy unicorns to sour pink Cadillacs to stackable cupcake gummies.

"I love sweets, so this is right up my alley," says former PureWow operations director of branded content Rachel Gulmi. "The packaging is super cute and the candy is actually good, but it's kind of a lot, so it's good to share." If you have a sweet tooth that just won't quit, I wouldn't blame you for signing yourself up for a tailor-made subscription box.

David Chang's brand is beloved by tons of foodies, whether they're flocking to the Momofuku online store for chili crisp, soy sauce or noodles. With this bundle, you can gift someone all three and then some. The set includes three types of dried noodles (Soy & Scallion, Tingly Chili and Spicy Soy), soy sauce, chili crunch and savory seasoned salt.

So many of us want to eat healthier but don’t have the time to cook tasty dinners every day. Enter Snap Kitchen, a meal delivery service that makes it as easy as opening a box and popping your food in the microwave. There are tons of dietary preferences to choose from, too (Paleo! low-carb! Whole30!). Chicken butternut macaroni, anyone?

Another find that made Oprah's Favorite Things list last year, Bateel's gourmet dates are revered for their sticky-sweet goodness. They come stuffed with an assortment of roasted or caramelized nuts, like pecans, pistachios and almonds, as well as candied lemon, orange and ginger, creating a flavor profile that's prime for noshing. They'd make a stellar addition to any charcuterie board recipe, but they're indulgent enough to serve as a standalone dessert, too.

Help your spice-loving work wife go from a hot sauce collector to a sauce boss with this easy project. It comes with two distinct spice blends—one smoky and one citrusy—and all the tools she needs to ferment her own spicy blends. She brings the peppers, this kit will bring the heat.

If I'm being honest, I think this might be the one food gift that any person on your list would appreciate (including the gifter). The box comes with four different pints of your favorite creamy concoctions, plus hot fudge, sprinkles, Oreos, nuts and M&Ms. As for the flavor selection, there's everything from malted butter fudge to vegan black raspberry, so you're bound to find something your friend will love.

You know that one friend who loves playing bartender every time you come over? Get them a Shaker & Spoon subscription and they'll be thanking you at every happy hour they ever host. It's one of the most reviewed cocktail boxes on Cratejoy and makes hosting a breeze. Each month's box focuses on a different liquor (not included) and everything you need to make 12 drinks from three unique recipes.

There's no better food gift for a rye lover than this primo bottle of whiskey, which was aged for ten years before being bottled. (Plus, the custom engraving makes it feel more personalized than a standard bottle of booze, no?) The aroma is perfect for winter, with hints of allspice, anise, orange peel, char and caramel. On the palate, your giftee will taste sweet notes of caramel and vanilla with a butterscotch finish. (P.S. If you're feeling extra generous, gift the 21-year-aged single malt instead.)

If your best friend's favorite snack is peanut butter straight from the jar, they're going to love this assortment of their creamy treat of choice. With six options they can test out, including toffee, snickerdoodle and pretzel mix-ins, they're going to be delighted digging into each jar and spreading it on bread for a PB&J (or just spooning it straight into their mouth).

You've seen this viral rainbow surprise cake all over your timeline. Now, you can take a crack at it yourself. It's the real deal, too—New York City’s Flour Shop was involved in crafting the kit, from the cake mix to the color gels to the frosting. It also includes polka dot and rainbow explosion sprinkles, but feel free to go rogue with whatever treats you find in your pantry.

It’s time to upgrade their cocktail game from boring canned tomato juice. Each of these gourmet Bloody Mary mixes are prepared using fresh, local ingredients from a family-run farm outside Birmingham, Alabama.

Nothing says NYC like a traditional deli dinner with classic dishes like pastrami and corned beef sandwiches, matzoh ball soup, knishes and house-made sour pickles. You won't need to worry about dessert, either—the kit also includes rugelach (cinnamon-raisin, chocolate or raspberry) for good measure.

I'll let you in on a secret: I'm kind of obsessed with Burlap & Barrel’s single-origin spices, probably because they’re some the most flavorful seasonings you'll ever taste. Any foodie will appreciate the chef's collection, which includes black urfa chili, wild mountain cumin, sun-dried tomato powder, ground black lime, purple shallot and herbs de Provence.

This gift set will elevate anyone’s pastry game to new heights.

It also includes tasting notes for each beer, as well as beer trivia (because why the heck not?).

If your bud would rather go on a bubble tea run instead of grabbing coffee, this kit is for them. In addition to the chewy tapioca pearls, it comes with two different flavors of tea (classic black and rooibos chai), so your friend can make their favorite Taiwanese-inspired drinks at home. It even includes two reusable straws that are the perfect size to suck up the boba. All they need to do is add their favorite kind of milk.

You can even add a deep-dish pizza to your order, if you feel so inclined.

Once the package arrives, all you'll need to do is heat the meat and assemble your sandwiches. How easy is that?

Packed with real mozzarella cheese, these dough bites are bursting with Italian-inspired flavor. They arrive frozen in an insulated box, so they'll survive the journey to your giftee without issue. Now, are they more into margherita or pepperoni?

While a bouquet of flowers is certainly thoughtful, your partner might just appreciate this kind of bouquet more. Choose from a bundle of three or six “stems” of pork, all wrapped in butcher paper and a bow. The bouquets feature a variety of meats, ranging from chorizo rioja to saucisson d'alsace. Even better, salami is technically shelf stable, so none of it will go to waste.

Inspire a home cook with wholesome, chef-crafted meal kits from Sunbasket (or give a general gift card, so they can pick what they'd like). If the person you want to surprise would love nothing more than not having to make dinner, go the route of ready-to-heat dishes and snacks instead. FYI, $200 will cover two weeks of Sunbasket for two people (that's three recipes per week).

If you have a friend who loves to cook but doesn't have the time to on a weeknight, make her life easier with a meal kit from HelloFresh.

Whatever she decides, each HelloFresh recipe is tested 45 times before hitting the menu to ensure that anyone can tackle it.

Taco Tuesday is a fail-safe way of keeping both adults' and kiddos' bellies full and happy.

Within Somos' products, however, you'll find plenty of vegan entrees and sides—including tacos and tostadas. Oh, and the dishes are also gluten-free and made in Mexico.
