Goldbelly is the best place to buy food gifts — and everything is 20% off for Black Friday
Goldbelly is one of my all-time favorite places to shop. It's an online retailer that ships foods from local restaurants all around the U.S. You can experience Ina Garten's famous Carrot Cake from her New York-based bakery, or you can order Chicago deep dish pizza from an authentic Chicago-based pizzeria. You can even pre-order Christmas desserts — pies, cakes, and rolls — to be delivered close to December 25. The best news of all, though? During Black Friday, it's all 20% off with code BELLYJOY20.
That's right: Everything is 20% off, from New York bagels to Maine lobster rolls to Philly cheesesteaks. This promotion runs from November 27 to December 3, and we think it's the best time to order any food-based gifts you want to send this year. Cupcakes, brownies, and cakes make the best Christmas gifts, especially if you live far from your giftee.
If you need some inspiration, here are the best food gifts that are 20% off during the Goldbelly Black Friday sale.
I've received these cupcakes on several occasions and never been disappointed. They arrive perfectly packed and protected by their plastic holders. Each cupcake features a different flavor, though I'm partial to the chocolate ones. It's 20% off today, so you can order them to arrive before Christmas for the ultimate gift this year.
This cookie tin makes an excellent gift. It comes with 18 Brooklyn Blackout cookies, which are basically brownie-cookies topped in a rich ganache. Each tin is perfectly sized and packed for holiday gifting.
Always wanted to try Ina's baking the way it was meant to be done? You can get Ina's Carrot Cake for 20% off today, straight from the Barefoot Contessa herself. Even better — you can add her memoir, "Be Ready When the Luck Happens" for an extra gift for yourself.
This gift box from Brownie Points comes with 36 brownies, all individually wrapped. There are a variety of flavors available, but you won't be able to choose yours — they'll be automatically selected based on what's in season. They're perfect for gifting or whipping out after Christmas dinner.
Levain Bakery is one of my favorite places to get cookies. Each treat is huge — think palm-sized — and incredibly gooey. the instructions tell you how to re-heat them in the oven. This holiday set comes with eight cookies, including peppermint chocolate.
This cake is the definition of "looks too good to eat." It's a chocolate cake coated in buttercream frosting and sprinkles. Once opened, it reveals white, red, and green stripes, the Christmas classic you never knew your table needed.
You don't need to travel to Italy to get the best gelato. This gift box comes with nine flavors wrapped in a gorgeous gift box. Ship it the week before Christmas for the ultimate holiday surprise.
You'll have as much fun looking at this cake as you will eating it. Its from Duff Goldman's bakery and features four layers of gingerbread cake, accented with a happy gingerbread man on top.
Martha knows how to bake a cake. This strawberry showstopper features an ombre design, with a darker cake on the bottom and a lighter one up top. Its strawberry flavor will knock your socks off, while its rose frosting design will have you wondering if you should take a cake decorating class.
This pie is straight up delicious. I tried it this summer and was impressed with the pie to crust ratio (not easy to get right on a key lime pie). It's tart without being overpowering, while its crust gives a much needed crunch to its filling.
