Happiness delivered: From cookie-filled boxes to baskets with at-home spa essentials, these gift baskets are sure to make them smile. (Levain, Amazon).

A single gift will rarely say it all. When done right, a gift basket can (and will). They're not all created equally, which is exactly why I've done the hard work for you and rounded up a list of the best gift baskets — some are stuffed to the brim with sweet and savory foods, others are packed with cozy essentials. The brands below, including favorites like Harry & David and Olive & Cocoa, have gift baskets down to a science. Not only are they full of delicious treats and self-care goodies, but they arrive at his or her doorstep packaged and ready to be unwrapped — with fairly little effort on your part.
