12 Delicious Treats to Order Online and Ship to a Friend

Alfajores From the Wooden Table Baking Company

Located in Oakland, Wooden Table specializes in Argentinian alfajores. If you're not familiar with these small but decadent treats, they're two shortbread cookies filled with dulce de leche and then (typically) dipped in chocolate. Wooden Table makes a variety of interesting flavors such as pistachio white chocolate and snickerdoodle alfajores, as well as a gluten-free version.

Pecan Pie From Goode Company

It's not a special occasion without pie, right? The pecan pie from Goode Company in Texas features pecans found along the Brazos River baked into a 9-inch gooey pie. It comes in a wooden box for extra protection (and a practical keepsake).

Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies From Levain Bakery

Cookie and comfort both start with C—obviously not a coincidence—and the most comforting cookies are the famous ones from Levain. No need to travel to New York City for them: You can ship packs of their signature flavors anywhere (even to yourself).

Indian-Inspired Ice Cream From Malai

South Asian ingredients are churned into creamy, egg-less ice cream at Brooklyn-based Malai. Each flavor dreamed up by founder Pooja Bavishi is tinged with nostalgia for her childhood and a nod to her Indian heritage. The 4-pint Fan Favorites includes seasonal flavors based on the time of year. In winter, you might see baklava, salted browned butter pecan, or toasted nutmeg inspired by kheer, an Indian rice pudding.

Ridiculously Creamy Ice Cream From High Point Creamery

Ice cream is crave-worthy, even when the temperatures drop. Denver-based High Point Creamery makes truly decadent ice cream in a variety of creative flavors. The cookies and cream features three types of cookies, while the strawberry basil will take you back to summer days. For a flavor with a little kick, try the whiskey with pistachio brittle. Order a box of four, six, or eight flavors.

Boozy Cake From Great Exbaketations

Mailing booze is tricky, but mailing boozy cake is easy and, for the recipient, delightful. Based in Albany, New York, Great Exbaketations specializes in boozy Bundt cakes with tempting flavors like limoncello, bananas foster, and classic rum.

A Tea Blend From The Chai Box

Monica Sunny, an Indian immigrant, created The Chai Box when she realized she would never find chai in coffee shops better than the chai recipe she makes at home.

Chai means tea (so stop saying "chai tea") and varies in composition throughout India. Chai Box's blends reflect this, with combinations like the floral Hill Station with roses and cardamom and Sweet Monsoon with mango, coconut, clove, and cinnamon. They also offer gift sets for the serious chai lover in your life.

Bagels From Russ & Daughters
