Before you order

• Order early. Holiday deliveries fill up; check the delivery date Amazon shows before you buy.
• Check the best-before date of sliced ham and cheese if you’re buying weeks in advance. Tins and olive oil keep for months.
• Sending it to someone else? Use the gift options at checkout so the receipt doesn’t show a price.
