If you want to send gourmet tidbits, iGourmet's gourmet gift baskets are praised in reviews for their variety and presentation. The company offers dozens of baskets, and assortments can be customized to fit various budgets and tastes. Most baskets contain an array of cured meats, olives, cheeses, and crackers. The Classic Gift Basket includes three pounds of items, including four kids of cheese, Serrano ham, olives from Greece, crackers and Belgian chocolate in a copper pannier. Perishable items come in a Styrofoam container. A few customers say that they expected more food for the price, but overall reviewers praise the variety and presentation. If you'd rather send a fruit gift, we found good comments for the Diamond Organics 9-pound Organic Fruit Sampler (*est. $82, including overnight delivery).
We read reviews of iGourmet's gift baskets at Consumer Reports' website, and we read customer reviews at Amazon.com, SeriousEats.com and ForkandBottle.com. Consumer Reports' review includes 11 gift-basket purveyors.
