+1 with Godiva, always good (not best) and easier access is big consideration.

Godiva is overpriced crap owned by campbell's. it's waxed to the max to ensure the chocolate lasts. better than your OTC herseys, but not even as good as say... Dove chocolate bars.

the question really depends on where you are. if you're in LA / SF / CHI / NYC, you have a fine pick of some local chocolatiers which allow you to sample and then execute same day courier deliveries, but if you're in BFE, North Dakota.. g'luck son.

good fine Tea? Heard of Ten Ren - a Taiwanese Tea store? Go there and buy the most expensive bag of oolong you can find. it'll be "fine" enough.

Thanks for the tip. I'll be ordering a bunch of stuff from Ten Ren. My parents like all kinds of teas, so that'll be nice. I'm a bit of a tea fan too, so I think I'll nab some while I'm at it.
