I have an aunt who has everything and is extremely difficult to buy for. Each year I struggle with finding just the right gift that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, as well as something that is unique and won’t clutter up her house with useless items. The past several years I have sent her an edible gift. Not the pack of oranges in a box or tins of popcorn kinds of edible gift. But an edible gift that is just a little out of the ordinary and something she wouldn’t go buy. Here I list five wonderful websites for ordering an edible gift.
Edible Gift #1: The Farm Beverly Hills. This place has the most amazing brownies you have ever tasted. My aunt absolutely loved this edible gift-and she’s an incredible baker-proving how tasty these brownies really are. Brownies can be purchased in 2, 4, 8, and 12 pack boxes ranging from $9.95 to $42.95. These brownies are really dense and most people can’t finish even one in a single sitting. So if you’re on a budget, purchase one of the smaller packs as an edible gift and more than likely your gift recipient will be cutting the brownie up into smaller bites. For those who want to splurge or to give as a corporate edible gift, The Farm offers a gift basket for $65.
Edible Gift #2: Aunt Luddy’s White Trash Deep South Mix™. This amazing treat from Walton’s Fancy & Staple in Austin, Texas is “crispy cereal nuggets with all manner of fantastic goodness.” Actress Sandra Bullock is an investor in the bakery and promoted this great edible gift on The Jay Leno Show in November. The sweet concoction was named for Bullock’s Aunt Luddy who created the recipe. Contact Walton’s Fancy & Staple at (512) 542-3380 for information on ordering this great snack mix.
Edible Gift #3: Littlejohn’s Candies. Littlejohn’s Candies was founded by Mr. and Mrs. Littlejohn in the early 1920s and is well-known for their famous English Toffee. The current owner, Michael Graves, has over 25 years of candy making experience with Littlejohn’s. Any of Littlejohn’s edible gifts will be a hit with those on your gift list. Edible gift options include English Toffee (a must!), caramels, chocolates, fudge and divinity, and hand dipped fruit. Gift baskets can be purchased as well. Littlejohn’s has 3 locations: The Farmers Market, Los Angeles; Torrance Certified Farmers Market; and Palos Verde Certified Farmers Market. All items are available for shipping. Orders received are processed and shipped within 24 hours via UPS Ground.
Edible Gift #4: The Chocolate Covered Company.This site is dedicated to chocolate covered everything! The choices for an edible gift are numerous-but oh so difficult to choose from-and are sure to be a hit with whoever you send them to on your gift list. Selections include chocolate covered apples, strawberries, pretzels, cookies even fortune cookies! Gift packages come in a wide range of prices. Visit The Chocolate Covered Company website here for entire line of products, prices and ordering information.
Edible Gift #5: Lobster Anywhere.com. Definitely not your typical edible gift, but one that’s sure to get a lot of comments as well as appreciation. Lobster Anywhere.com has an extensive list of lobster packages available for you to order and ship to the seafood lover on your gift list. The company specializes in lobster dinners, frozen lobster, lobster meat, lobster rolls, and fresh seafood. Best know for shipping large hard shell lobsters that are fresh from fishermen in Maine. Visit the Lobster Anywhere.com website for their entire menu and their delivery options including next day delivery.
As you can see, any of these 5 ideas make a great edible gift that is sure to please even the most difficult person to buy for. Try something different this year and send an edible gift from one of these companies.
