There’s nothing fishy about this premium caviar sourced right here in the good ol’ U.S.of A. The special delivery also arrives with a traditional mother of pearl spoon if hand bumps are simply out of the question.

Swedish candy is another food trend having a moment, and this giftable tin from popular brand Bon Bon is as fun as it is delicious. Inside are their top selling gummies, including Sour Blackberry, Sour Peach, and Sweet Wild Strawberry Fish. Best of all, all of the candies are gluten-free, vegan and free of gelatin.

Creamed honey is the newest "buzzy" (pun intended!) product right now, and for good reason: whipping the honey creates a spreadable, melted texture. This gift back from farm in Ohio has five flavors in total, including blueberry, lemon and raspberry.

Chocolate bars, candy canes, and socks, begone. We want our stockings stuffed with uniquely shaped pastas that will pair effortlessly with any homemade sauce. And with this sampler, we’ve got four to choose from: cascatelli, trumpets, reginetti, and porcini trumpets. Merry Carbmas, indeed.

Sample chocolate from all over the world with this delicious and unique gift box. From a pistachio milk chocolate bar from Italy to choco-coconut corn puffs from South Korea, this makes for a fun and unique gift box.

Gifting tinned seafood isn’t fishy. It’s a trend we can get behind, especially when coming from Fishwife. This tasty trio features the brand's Smoked Salmon, Smoked Rainbow Trout, and Slow-Smoked Mackerel with Chili Crisp.

We’d be remiss to not include America’s most Instagrammable cookie on this list, now available in packs of four. Eat them as they are or toss them in the oven for a few minutes for gooey, warm, this-is-how-a-cookie-should-be bliss. And don’t forget to brag about it on social media.

In Japanese, "ikigai" is what people live for, what brings joy. And it’s what drives the masterful cultivation and integrity needed to grow these beautiful, luxury fruit.

Don’t worry, B.Happy. And nothing makes us happier than this six-jar peanut butter sampler with unique flavors like snickerdoodle popcorn. Bread, begone — all you need is an oversized spoon.

Rub-a-dub-dub, don’t use this in the tub, but do use this diverse set of aromatic rubs to prep your protein before it’s tossed on the grill. We also love Spiceology’s play on the Periodic Table with its packaging.

Truffles, and cookies, and pies, oh my! And not just any truffle, cookie, and pie, Milk Bar truffle, cookie, and pie. This sampler’s got a little bit of everything, from a Compost Cookie and Birthday Truffles to a Milk Bar Pie Slice and an adorable hot pink and white tin that you’ll inevitably use as a lunchbox the next day.

Small in size, but mighty in taste, Baked by Melissa always puts a smile on anyone’s face with its oh-so-adorable mini cupcakes. The only problem is that it’s entirely too easy to house more than a dozen in one sitting, making them a gift you won’t really savor over an extended period of time. Sorry, not sorry.

Chocolate? Yes, but these truffles also moonlight as works of art. In fact, they’re hand-painted to look like objects you’d almost find in the Louvre or a high-end gallery. Containing all 25 of the brand’s signature flavors, this is the box for anyone who can’t get enough of the world’s most celebrated dessert.

All sweet comes with a little bit of salt, but Four & Twenty Blackbirds has perfected this harmonious balance with a humble Salty Honey Pie that boasts a decadent and fragrant custard center.

A full-sized cupcake stuffed into a pint of ice cream? You bet. This St. Louis-based microcreamery specializes in innovative flavors that are jam-packed with chunks of candy bars, cookies, pie pieces, and even noodle kugel. Pick four of your favs and arm yourself in advance with a favorite spoon.

Sending a half dozen cookies sure is sweet, but if they’re from LA-based Brady’s Bakery, it’s downright sinful. But have no fear: The Nice List is reserved for those who gift these oversized (and adorably named!) confections that are stuffed with everything from peanut butter and jelly to crushed Oreos.

Making homemade bone both is both expensive and a true time commitment. Receiving this variety pack of soothing bone broths as a small luxury food gift for the holidays would be such a welcome tangible show of support of my goal to take better care of my health this new year. This sampler box created by chef Marco Canora of Hearth restaurant in New York City comes with 12 individually packaged broths that are carefully made with high-quality ingredients, slowly simmered and skimmed by hand.

Sampler Box $52.80/month or $66/one-time order.
