Based in Santa Maria, but with most business done over the Internet, Gifts Gone Gourmet is a local online success story. The shop carries gourmet foods, specialty foods, wine, and gift baskets.
Though online shopping is easy and fast, locals who want to see in person what Gifts Gone Gourmet has to offer can visit their showroom at 1320 W. McCoy Lane in Santa Maria. The showroom has samples of corporate gifts, wedding favors, and gift baskets. Consultations are by appointment only, call 361-6649 to set one up. Orders can also be made over the phone.
If shoppers can’t make it the showroom there’s always the Internet. Go to www.giftsgonegourmet.com to view the company’s entire collection. Gifts Gone Gourmet ships packages anywhere in the continental United States, and they ship wine within California and to Idaho and Texas.
