In “The Ultimate Gift Guide” we’re bringing you all the best advice on gifting, whether you need something to share for the holidays, bring to an event, or gift just because! If your looking for the perfect present for a foodie, here are our favorite birthday gifts for the epicurious.
There are two things in life that we all have in common: we all have birthdays and we all eat. So why not combine the two and give the perfect birthday gift in the form of gourmet food! If your dad loves salty snacks or you need a cake to feed a whole party (or just yourself, should the mood strike), this list has gastronomical gifts for everyone. Harry & David has it all, from birthday gift baskets and baked treats to sweets and snacks, and fresh fruit — some even come with wine!
Deluxe Birthday Basket
When in doubt, stick with a classic gift. This Deluxe Birthday Basket features a variety of treats crafted in
the Harry & David candy kitchen, including a delicious chocolate swirl cake, classic Moose Munch popcorn, and the legendary pears. Finished off with lemon raspberry button cookies, this birthday basket is a delicious surprise.
Picnic Basket Gift
Can youDo they prefer salty snacks over birthday sweets? A picnic basket that’s woven chipwood comes with three-seed crackers, Thuringer summer sausage, peanut butter pretzels, and more pears.
