1. CANDY: Consider buying in bulk if giving to several recipients. McKeever & Danlee hard candies come in colorful, 4 inch tins in packs of six. These European-style drops are available in several flavors: cherry, mango, lemon, traditional butterscotch and coffee for example. Mix and match several varieties, or add them as a special treat to your own gift baskets.

2. CHOCOLATE: For really wild, unusual chocolates - try San Francisco's Recchiuti Confections. These unique chocolates include flavors such as: Sesame Nougat, Piedmont Hazelnut or Bergamot Tea, and come with a "road map" describing the flavors.

3. FRUIT: Top-notch quality fruit is often a can't-miss favorite. Harry and David, a 75-year-old Oregon company, ships mouth-watering, gourmet pears in perfect condition. Shipments can also include fine chocolates and nuts, and other delectible goodies. Everything arrives in festive, attractive boxes.

4. WINE AND GIFT BASKETS: If a gift basket with a variety of products is what you are looking for, consider a pre-assembled basket that displays multiple, individually packaged treats. These baskets can include a variety of wines paired with sweets and savoury goodies. Some also have kitchen items, like specialty cutting boards or cheese knives.
