My Favorite Cheese & Charcuterie Gifts

It’s no surprise that my top choice is going to be my own product, The Cheese Board Deck. It’s a perfect gift, stocking stuffer, white elephant, and hostess gift throughout the season! And, of course, its sequel, The Wine & Cheese Board Deck is equally fun to gift. The decks go great together!

12-Piece Charcuterie Board Gift Set – This has everything you need to create a beautiful charcuterie board in one 12-piece set. It includes a high-quality wood board, ramekins, cheese knives, a honey dipper, cheese markers, and a recipe book to help you create a gorgeous spread. I can’t think of a better gift for someone who loves to host.
