On the Cheap
Fab Foods creates beautifully packaged homemade snack mixes. The company’s Sublime line has crunchy cornflakes dipped and rolled into dark chocolate and mixed with milk chocolate bits. The mix is scrumptious by the handful—or delicious as an ice cream topping. (There’s a white chocolate version, too.) Each batch comes in a glass bowl decorated with ribbon and a silk flower for $30.
Mid-Price
Let them sip on something sweet with a selection of luscious dessert wines and an accompanying selection of tasty bites. Vintage New York— dealing only in New York state wines—offers a Just Desserts gift bag that includes Casa Larga’s Fiori della Stella ice wine from the Finger Lakes region, and Duck Walk blueberry port from the Hamptons. In keeping with the state theme, the wines come in a jute tote with Annette Lappin’s homemade dark chocolate bark from the Hudson River Valley and a package of Aldo’s biscotti from Long Island— all for $87.99.
Splurge
Pamper a special recipient with an array of fine cheeses selected by the knowledgeable cheesemongers at Artisanal. The restaurant’s cheese of the month gift package features freshly cut cheeses selected by seasonality and chosen for compatibility. Each one-pound delivery includes three varieties, detailed notes about each cheese, and suggestions for pairing wine. Each month costs $45, so a three-month gift program will set you back $135, plus shipping.
