" If the person on your list prefers gourmet goodies, there are sites offering everything from live lobsters (www.greatfood.com) to jelly beans (www.jellybelly.com) to lemon curdand scones (www.onlygourmet.com). Given my Italian heritage, it is not surprising that two personal favorites are Salami.com (www.salami.com) and the Flying Noodle (www.flyingnoodle.com). I've ordered custom baskets filled with the finest in Italian delicatessen foods -- pastas, sauces, olive oil, salami, cheese and pastry.
