The Final Countdown: Last-Minute Gift Ideas for Christmas

When in doubt, send wine. Especially when it comes from the Pacific Northwest. And Harry & David, which has won over 100 awards since 2012, has made choosing a bottle (or a wine gift basket) so much easier with its new wine shop. It includes three new labels (Liv & Lil, WYNY Wine Co., and Freehaven Cellars) that fit every type of wine consumer. Whether they like to swirl and sniff, are fanatics about pairing wine with their meal, or simply just want to lounge on the couch and enjoy a glass while binging their favorite show, there’s a wine for them.

Four of anything is always better than three or two or definitely one, and these four boxes are filled with premium snacks, many of which are "covered" in goodness: chocolate-covered popcorn and cherries, and yogurt-covered pretzels. And if you like your chocolate all on its own, it also offers six signature truffles.

No, you can’t buy Tom Colicchio and ship him to someone's home. But, what you can do is buy a gift created by the award-winning chef that allows the recipient to experience Italian food as if you were in Italy. Colicchio’s gourmet tomato sauces and pantry essentials, like olive oil, are a must for home cooks who want to create authentic Italian dishes like mushroom risotto and Eggs in Purgatory.

Chocolate lovers will rejoice when they unwrap luxury at its finest and get to experience 17 types of premium chocolates, made from either milk chocolate, bittersweet chocolate, or extra dark chocolate. Some of my favorites? Amaretto barrels, coconut butterflies, and cherry cups.
