food gift ideas please

KCDiva — Wed, 08 Jun 2022 13:41:35 GMT

I have never ordered any food products from QVC. A friend of mine is having surgery and I would like to send her a treat. Not too expensive but maybe a Grandmas coffee cake or cookies. The reviews are mixed. Do food items typically ship right away? Any recommendations for goodies that you have ordered? TIA

We LOVE Grandma's coffee cake. (I have been buying it for many years at our local supermarket and order online from QVC -- Amazon -- or Grandma's website when sending as a gift.) I sent it to a friend after surgery and she liked it so much that she has ordered numerous times and has also sent to her friends as gifts.

I've never ordered food from QVC, but I just recently sent a gift box from Wolferman's Bakery that included english muffins, scones and some other treats. The recipient loved it and was also able to put some in the freezer for later. Their prices are pretty reasonable too.

@KCDiva I would make sure what she can eat and likes, and also if it is frozen, does she have freezer room to keep it, and does she even want food.

Food is not always a welcome gift, so please check with her first.

Post surgery she may be on a special diet. It's probably a good idea to check with her. But to your point about ordering from QVC and whatever it is not be too expensive, those two things do not go hand in hand. Shopping channel foods are pricey across the board. I've had the Grandma's coffee cake before. It was moist and flavorful. As to your question about shipping, it usually takes the normal processing time for immediate shipping, but there are sometimes options of choosing a future ship date (usually when the item is a TSV)

If you and she live close enough to one another, IMO it would be more meaningful if you could bring an appropriate lunch, or dinner, and visit a little while.

Good luck deciding and I hope yiur friend has a smooth recovery.

Is there a restaurant nearby that could deliver a meal or two?

In addition to Gramdma's coffee cake -- I have also sent chicken soup from Spoonful of Comfort and Grandma's Chicken Soup. (A different Gramdma!) Every recipient has loved it. Having been gifted it myself after surgery -- I agree!

@judy0330 I love Spoonful Of Comfort soups, cookies and gifts, too! Everything is great quality and truly comforting. I also like Grandma's Coffee Cakes.

I've used Goldbelly before or Nuts dot com for snacks. Also Power to the People.......they only sell popcorn and hire autistic workers.

Nutsdot com sells all kinds of snacks and their delivery box is adorable.

One can't beat River Street Sweets! Family business, made in small batches.

I love their homemade caramel pecan pralines!

If you just want to send something small, that could be frozen if he/she might have diet restrictions post surgery, check Cheryls cookies website. They offer a few "cookie samplers" that come with free shipping (one variety sampler is $9.99 for 6 different cookies) and they can be frozen to eat at a later date. You pick the ship date.

Depending on the surgery and her living arrangements...

Once a BF checked and then turned up with lunch for everyone. Just fruit and sandwiches, clean up included 😍. Still treasure the memory.

I don't think the food on QVC is very good or worth the money they charge. Besides the fact that shipping is unreliable. I would go with a company that does this all the time.

There are some great suggestions on here, mine would be Stonewall Kitchen dot com.

Many different gift packs to choose from like jams & jellies, mustards, spices, a whole lot of ideas! I use them often and they are very reliable and the products are fresh and tasty.

Thanks all. She doesn't live close to me and I've checked for local places to deliver. She's having shoulder surgery and so she won't limited on what she can eat. I was going to send her a cookie bouquet, I've loved getting them, from a local shop but the delivery charge is ridiculous. I may send a Grandma's coffee cake or something. Another friend lives close buy. I may ask her if she is going to do something and I can send her some money to take something from me.

Lundberg farms has a website with a lot of snack type chips, rice cakes and snack things that would be great for someone recovering and needing something crisp.

I have ordered a lot of organic rice from them and always been pleased with the products, response and shipping.

This company is amazing. The items come individually wrapped and when I get a no shipping deal or something, I have frozen the pralines and taken one out at a time.

I have tasted many homemade candies when I taught candy making and they are top notch!

@ECBG I like your idea of freezing the candy for a treat whenever you feel like it. I may have to try this company for gift giving. First, I need to try out these goodies as a treat to myself.

Get yourself a box of pralines. Everyone that I have given them to has had an eye rolling experience!

If you have been to Barefoot Landing in Myrtle Beach, they have a store there and give out samples. You see people with their bags everywhere!
