Is there someone on your gift list who loves to sink their teeth into a thick, juicy steak? I know, some of you may have reservations about ordering meats online and with good reason. However, if you stick with a reputable retailer, you'll be in good hands.

For instance, OmahaSteaks.com, Inc. has been around since 1917 and has been offering quality meats via mail order long before the Web was born. Having tried their steaks and burgers, I can personally recommend their products. In addition to steaks, you'll also find a wide assortment of other quality meats as well as savory main dishes, appetizers and pastas. Definitely pricey, but very good quality indeed.

All of their meat products are vacuum sealed, packed in dry ice and shipped in an insulated (& reusable!) cooler, ensuring they remain fresh while traveling.

Another great gift item that travels well is coffee (and teas). AshLaneCoffee.com offers a wide variety of java, teas and cocoas arranged in beautiful gift baskets. For someone with a sweet tooth, you'll also find a potpourri of Ghirardelli chocolates and other treats.

Still have a few people left on your list? Our Gourmet Boutique provides you with easy access to dozens of brand name merchants.

Enough talk, it's time to hit the virtual mall now. After all,

Best wishes & happy shopping!
