45 Best Gourmet Food Gifts To Send In 2024 - Holiday Food Gift Ideas

The gift of food is always a crowd pleaser. Whether you're looking to impress the foodie in your life with your city's best bites or you have a housewarming party to attend but don't want to show up empty-handed, there is an endless array of thoughtful and beautifully wrapped bundles of treats and goodies that are sure to hit the spot. We're talking artisanal cheeses, five-star beef, mouth-watering boxed chocolates, and everything in between. Ahead, the best gourmet food gifts to buy anyone anytime. They taste so good, you might just want to treat yourself too!

What's better than a surf and turf dinner on the town? A ready-to-grill dinner of Premium Angus Beef filet mignons, sirloins, or New York strip steaks paired with 6 oz lobster tails ready to grill up in the privacy of your own home.

You can never go wrong with bacon. Or, in this case, a bacon flight, featuring three different types of everybody's favorite salty treat: applewood and hickory smoked bacons made from heritage breed pork, and D'Artagnan's signature duck bacon.

A cocktail party in a box. This collection of four cheeses (creamy brie, nutty gruyere, subtle manchego, and tangy English cheddar) chosen by the experts at the famed New York cheese shop pair perfectly with their spiced cherry preserves, olive oil crackers with sea salt, and marcona almonds.

If you're looking to gift a sweet treat, look no further than this curated set of pints from San Fransisco's famed Humphry Slocombe. The pints include six fan favorites like their Blue Bottle Vietnamese Coffee (a blend of Blue Bottle organic coffee, sweetened condensed milk, and chicory), Malted Milk Chocolate, Salted Caramel Cocoa Nib, and perennial favorite Secret Breakfast (bourbon ice cream studded with cornflake cookies).

New Yorkers have long been obsessed with these mega-sized, meal-worthy cookies, and now they're available in giftable packs featuring their signature flavors Chocolate Chip Walnut, Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Raisin, and Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip. (Local shipping in NYC is available through Caviar, and nationwide through levainbakery.com.)

Sending someone nice caviar is like giving them a party in a (very chic) tin. Chef Thomas Keller developed this caviar with his chefs at The French Laundry, which is to say it is delicious. Don't forget to include potato chips and crème fraîche for the full experience.

For a gift that truly takes the cake, order one of these specialties, made with delicate, paper-thin crepes and pastry cream, and caramelized until it gleams like the top of a great creme brûlée.

This brand, dedicated to making the Indian spice trade more equitable, works to support farmers and create more sustainable agricultural processes. Of course, the fact that their single original turmeric, cumin, pepper, are all the most flavorful versions of them you've ever tasted certainly doesn't hurt either.
