Nothing says “Happy Holidays” quite like a box full of delicious sweet treats—and they taste even better when they’re delivered straight to your front door. We’ve rounded up our favorite companies that make it easy for you to send a loved one the sweetest gifts. From flavor-packed mini cupcakes to hot chocolate bombs, and even some gluten-free and vegan options, here are our favorite services that deliver holiday treats guaranteed to put a smile on anyone’s face.
For a Gift They Can Customize: Sugarwish

Instead of choosing people's treats, why not let them pick for themselves? Sugarwish is an online candy shop that allows gift-givers to send loved ones a "sugar wish." After choosing from varying-priced packages such as the Mini, the Medium, and the Grand, simply enter the recipient's email address, and he or she will get a sweet surprise in their inbox. After receiving the sugar wish—which is essentially an e-gift card—recipients get to fill their virtual bag with whatever candy will satisfy their sweet tooth. New for 2022 are customized cocktail boxes! Choose from drinks like rum old-fashioned, smoky margarita, Moscow mule, and more.Â
Insider tip: If you'd rather pick out the candy yourself, there's an option for that too. Sugarwish also has pre-picked gift baskets available for your more indecisive friends.
