Hunting down the best food gifts is serious business, and I treat it with the care it deserves. I'm a foodie in an area of the country best known for its tavern-style pizza and not so much its fresh seafood or world-renowned bakeries. That's all fine and dandy, but what if I'm craving cookies so sinful only a populous city could conjure them? Thanks to the magic of the internet, it's all at my fingertips. Whether you're treating yourself or someone else, our top picks—like the aforementioned cookies, from Last Crumb—arrive safe and sound at your doorstep in ready-to-eat condition. The world is your oyster (and I mean that quite literally, if future testing has anything to say about it).
