33 best Christmas gift baskets we hand-picked for 2025

There are two kinds of holiday gifts: the ones people politely thank you for, and the ones they immediately tear into and pass around the room.

Christmas gift baskets, as well as gift baskets for Hannukkah, are the latter (when sourced right) — instant parties-in-a-box that say “I thought this through,” without you lifting anything heavier than a keyboard. This year’s best picks cover everything from heritage pears and artisan charcuterie to cookie towers, coffee flights, wine pairings, unique gift sets, last-minute solutions, and beauty kits that turn a red-eye into a spa day.

Since 2018, we’ve considered over 150 gift baskets for our readers to comb through and add to their carts. To help you find the perfect fit, we rounded up top-rated christmas gift baskets across iconic names, from Harry & David to Goldbelly, Amazon, and Bath & Body Works. We also considered some indie standouts that feel unique (like my personal favorite Snake River Farms) without risking any DIY meltdowns.

Consider this your cheat sheet to christmas holiday gift baskets that actually get devoured.
