Anyone know of a place that sells nice gift baskets with meats?
Stuff that doesn't have to be cooked? Pates, crackers, stuff that can served at a party with no cooking, in like a party setting where there is no stove? Meats, cheeses, nuts, stuff like that, real tasty, kind of gourmet.

Need a gift for someone.

Been looking online for something, with little luck.

Thanks in advance.

I haven't tried all their stuff, but a friend of mine gave me the most delicious pears I've ever tasted, and ham slices that were very good...

8. I'll second that recommendation.
Alot of their stuff is the tiny, 'precious' gift-basket
kinda thing, which I don't like so much...but it's all
first-rate, GOURMET food.

Which I like A LOT! :thumbsup:

13. Harry & Davd! Yup!
Very reliable and excellent gift products. Use them yearly for Xmas for those dear to me who are far away. H&D guarantees their products, and have always had nothing but positive responses from those who have received gift packs and flowers/plants from them.

BUT...gotta say, Omaha Steaks http://www.omahasteaks.com/servlet/OnlineShopping?PCR=1:100 has the BEST steaks and other meat products that I've ever had. My dad used to send me several conatiners of different steaks, sirloin patties, and one of their sdpecialty turkeys every year. These would come in coolers packed in dry ice. The filet mignons were so tender you could cut them woth a butter knife.

4. igourmet
What I really like about igourmet is you can custom make your own basket. Just shop for the items you want & add a gift basket to it. They will pack it up nicely.

Here's the link to party/affairs page

10. Second the Figi's recommendation.
I've bought several things there over the past few years. It's decent stuff, not high end gourmet but decent enough.

14. I sent some gift baskets to a few
of my customers last year from Wine Country Gift Baskets. They all seemed to like them.
