Send gift baskets to New York City from the United Kingdom

Coffee rituals, chocolate variety or a wine-and-cheese gift

For a New York friend whose favourite part of a visit is sitting down over coffee, Coffee Ganache Cookie Set carries that idea through mocha shortbread, coffee truffles and medium-roast coffee. Those related flavours give the selection a clear purpose. It is a more focused gesture than choosing a mixed hamper simply because its container looks generous in a photograph.

Bruges Chocolate Collection Gift Basket moves the emphasis from a drink to confectionery, with assorted truffles and a milk-chocolate pralines-and-cream bar among the listed items. Compare the chocolate styles with what the recipient usually enjoys. Someone who prefers chocolate without a coffee theme may find that distinction more useful than the number of different packages visible in the basket.

For an adult household that would welcome a bottle, Wine and Fresh Fruit Cheese Basket adds brie with garlic and peppers and chocolate cranberries to its wine selection. Think about whether you are thanking one person or bringing something to a gathering. A note from the UK can name the occasion you would have attended; choosing the assortment around that occasion makes the distance less central than the relationship.
