Our take on the Harry & David Baker's Best Basket

A gift basket of Harry & David baked goods built around chocolate and chocolate chip cookies, ready to eat on arrival. It is a presentation gift more than a snack haul: the basket format and brand name carry the occasion. Compared with grocery-store cookie tins it offers better packaging and a known name, but it holds a single cookie assortment rather than a broad mix of sweets. It suits thank-you gifts, hostess gifts and family sharing.
