The gourmet gift basket is one of those gifts that keeps on giving. First, just getting it delivered is great. Then, when you check out all the goodies, that’s great. Then, each time some of the goodies are devoured (sorry — “elegantly presented” etc.), it’s great.
Unique Gift Baskets
There are a wide variety of “gift baskets” out there. Hot sauce gift baskets. Truffle oil gift baskets. Gourmet nuts gift baskets. Pretty much any and every comestible available can be rounded up and presented as a basket. We’re not knocking that.
What we are doing, though, is going for the gift baskets that present an assortment of treats. We’ve organized the list in a very simple way:
- Savory Gift Baskets — #1 through #5
- Sweet Gift Baskets — #6 through #11
Some of the baskets are all savory, some are all sweet, and some have a combo. Don’t just look at the photo, make sure you check out the contents of each basket that we list.
Enjoy giving, enjoy getting, enjoy eating!

With all the decadence that the holiday season usually entails, you might want to gift food gifts that are on the lighter side. This so-called “healthy” gift basket offers an alternative to the baskets above which tend to feature a lot of sugar or fat.

25. Tabasco Tub of Flavor
(Tabasco)
Why should cookies, chocolate, cheese, and meat have all the fun? Gourmet also means hot sauce. There are so many options to choose from when it comes to gifting hot sauce. I would recommend Tabasco as a good place to start for a couple of reasons. The first is that their products are extremely consistent from batch to batch. The second is that the heat level is about right for most folks. You can get really carried away (shop here for Carolina Reapers sauces if that interests you) when buying hot sauce, but Tabasco exists right in the middle of the spectrum. This enormous gift back comes in a huge galvanized tub and includes:
- Original Red
- Jalapeño Green
- Chipotle
- Garlic
- Habanero
- Buffalo style
- Tabasco A1 steak sauce
- Spicy olives
- Cheez-Its
- Hot pepper jelly
- Spicy candies
- Spicy green beans
- Soy sauce
- Grill wood chips
- Apron
That doesn’t cover everything that typically comes in this gift set, but gives you an idea of just how massive it is. An alternative to this Tabasco-focused option is this Gourmet BBQ Tool Box Gift Set for the grillers on your list.

The Best Time to Snack
We’re not here to advocate all-out snacking all the time. But we’re not here to say “don’t snack,” either. What we can do is point you in the direction of a recent study that talks about when to eat (including snacking).
Dr. Satchin Panda is a professor at the Salk Institute and the author of “The Circadian Code.” In a nutshell, the doctor says research suggests that eating within an eight to 10 hour window is the best practice for health. It means eating early in the morning and eating a lighter meal for dinner, not more than 10 hours after you take your first bite of the day. The test subjects also snacked! You can read more about the study on the National Institutes for Health website.
