Gift Baskets Bargains

We live in a very nice neighborhood with lots of contacts between the neighbors. My husband and I exchange gifts with several of our neighbors each year, sometimes for the holidays and sometimes on other occasions. But each year it seems to get more difficult to think of a gift. This year we had a new idea and decided to give them cheese gift baskets. We did not like the pre-made cheese gift baskets that are available in the kiosks in the mall at all: that means that we had to create the baskets ourselves.

The pre-maid cheese gift baskets included processed cheese spreads. We were concerned about how long some of the baskets had been sitting around. We thought that if we made our own baskets the cheese would be of higher quality and we could choose varieties that we knew our friends liked.

We went to an import store and found wicker baskets to place the cheese in. The store had inexpensive cheese cutters so we purchased one to place in each of the cheese gift baskets. We then went to a local deli. This deli wraps the meat and cheeses in paper. We did not want this for the gift basket. We decided to go to the supermarket and purchase large rounds of four cheeses.
