Fun fact about me: My love language is gift-giving. When I first came to the conclusion, I’ll admit, I was a little bit embarrassed. Of all five of the other love languages (acts of service, physical touch, words of affirmation, and quality time), gift-giving, at the surface, seems like it would be the most shallow. But hear me out: I promise I’m not a superficial, vapid gold digger. For me, giving and receiving gifts isn’t about spending money or having “stuff.” It’s about the sentiment. It says, “this made me think of you!” and I think that’s really freakin’ special.
And if we’re getting more specific, my love language is gifting in the form of food. If you show up to my apartment with a bouquet of chicken nuggets, I will fall madly in love with you. If you don’t want me to fall madly in love with you, that’s fine. Just be sure not to do this.
With the holiday season looking a little more distant this year, make someone’s day by sending them one of these 25 edible gifts. Because, after all, the most tried and true way to the heart is through the belly (at least for me, anyway).

You can't go wrong with these little guys! These decadent chocolate covered strawberries from Edible Arrangements are the absolutely ideal treat. Name a better duo than semisweet chocolate and a fresh, juicy strawberry. We'll wait. Because we could all use a bit of a reminder that "we're doing great" these days. And nothing says "you're loved" quite like an assortment 25 mini cupcakes that will make your tastebuds go nuts. Insomnia cookies are an instant classic and these lil' dippers are a unique take on the classic cookie delivery. Think Dunkaroos (throwback!) but the fresh, 2020 version. If you think I won't be eating the buttercream by itself once my cookies run out, you're wrong. How insanely good do these assorted chocolates look?

Gift this Chicago staple for a holiday gift and you'll for sure find yourself on the nice list this year. In Chicago, we have a theory that you don't know pizza until you've tried Lou's deep dish.
