Still in need of a holiday gift? Here are three for food lovers, in the form of electronic gift certificates (e-gift cards), quickly emailed from the companies’ websites.

GOURMET CHOCOLATE GIFT CERTIFICATE

We love to give Chocomize gift certificates. They enable the recipient to customize their own chocolate bars with a choice of scores of different add-ons.

There are also boxes of bonbons, macarons and hot-chocolate-on-a-spoon, that that makes hot chocolate when swirled into milk.

Gift certificates are available from $10 to $500 at Chocomize.com.

 
GOURMET HOUSEWARES

At Sur La Table, e-gift cards are available from $10 to $500. Head to SurLaTable.com. E-cards are emailed five times daily. If you want to send a conventional card, it takes 5-7 days.

You can do the same at Williams-Sonoma.

At both stores, e-gift cards can be used for purchases online, in-store or by phone.

Plan ahead and you can add your own custom photo to a conventional gift card at Williams-Sonoma.

Go online and send e-gift cards (typically, a photo of a gift card gets e-mailed). Top photo: SurLaTable. Bottom photo: Chocomize.
