The Gourmet Coffee Delights Christmas gift basket is one of my personal favorites. It offers three distinct blends of Wolfgang Puck’s signature roasted coffee, Hazelnut, Toscana, and Provence French Roast. In addition to the amazing coffee, the basket has other treats any coffee lover will enjoy including almond biscotti, dulce de leche sandwich cookies and other varied selections.

For the wine lover on your list, you have three different baskets you can choose from. My favorite among the selections is the decedent Chocolate and Wine Paradise Large Gift Basket. At steal at $89.99, you receive three premium bottles of wine, Amaretto almond cookies, chocolate graham crackers, and Ghiradelli hot cocoa mix.

Next, is the Vineyard Elegance Large Gift Basket. The handmade wicker basket is filled with three premium wines from the very best vineyards California has to offer and a variety of different treats including cheese and crackers, chocolate chip cookies and California almonds. This basket is a sure bet to bring a smile to anyone’s face when they see it overflowing with a little bit of something for everyone to enjoy.

Offered in a black leatherette serving tray, this gift basket offers amazing wines paired with mouthwatering snacks that include California almonds, pistachio nuts, gourmet wine snack mix and the sinfully sweet Ghiradelli chocolate squares, providing the perfect balance any wine lover will savor over and over again.

Perhaps fine wines, cheese, coffee, and chocolate just are not quite what you are looking for? They also offer a number of gourmet fruit baskets. Filled with ripe juicy apples, pears, oranges, and pineapples, along with an assortment of snacks including cheese and crackers, mixed nuts, summer sausage, chocolate covered cherries and so much more, you are bound to find one that will exactly what you are looking for.
