Cheese Gift Baskets
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.

Cracked pepper crackers, Lanzetti salami, La Region des Vignobles Camembert cheese spread, cheese knife, cinnamon tea, dry roasted macadamia nuts, candies, Ghirardelli double chocolate hot cocoa mix and more are beautifully displayed in this informal arrangement.
Reviews from past customers:
“I sent this Thinking of you basket to my sister for her birthday, she said it arrived exactly on her birthday and that everything in the basket was wonderfully packaged and tasted great! Would definitely order again for a gift or for myself. Thanks for a great product.”
“I purchased this product for my mother who is very fussy with food. Upon receiving this product she was impressed with the presentation and even more impressed when she tasted the variety of Cheese & Chocolates. Anyone wishing to buy this product can do so with confidence.”
A wine gift basket is a very good gift for almost any occasion
A wine gift basket is a very good gift for almost any occasion. They can be sent for holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries or just to say “thank you” to someone.
They are also fine for business gifts to customers or to employees. I think anyone receiving one of these baskets as a gift would be very grateful and happy to receive it.
The baskets look pretty and they are appealing. The prices for each of the different ones seem reasonable for the contents being offered in them.
Italian food gift basket
“Purchased this Italian food gift basket for my folks based on the reviews here… and I was happy I did! My mom said she never tasted cheese that was so yummy! Now I need one for myself. Also, she said the dark chocolate that came with this was out of this world.”
“This Italian gift basket captures the feeling of Italy at it best…When you send this to family or friends, they will definitely, feel the love and warmth of Italy and is sure to please.”
“A taste of Italy delivered to your door with this Italian food gift basket! Cheeses so fresh, you immediately think warm scented evenings, gazing out across the Cyprus trees, lemon groves, rosemary, all the smells of Italy, the taste of wine on your lips, transporting you back to a time when food had taste.
True taste, flavors that assault the taste buds, seducing the palette, wanting more with each bite. Food so simple yet so perfect one tastes everything. Pungent olive oil so rich in color, transforming the humblest of meals into a feast for Kings.
Italian gift basket
“My daughter sent me this Italian gift basket for Mother’s Day last year. I was really surprised and the presentation was beautiful.
The food in the basket is actually "quality" food that I used in my cooking. So often the products in a gift basket look wonderful until you actually remove them from the basket.”
“I live in Italy and have a small child so I would never have time to collect all these things and put them together in a basket AND get to the post office to send them, so…..
This was a great way to help out and tickle the fancy of a friend who was having a hard time and I had hoped she could use the products to quickly whip up an Italian meal or two for her family. She was delighted and so was I.”
“So simple! Small but nice! I bought it for a family on thanksgiving holiday. They liked it. Also, it came in a very short time.” Bring the tastes of Italy to any home or office with this hearty basket; contains everything needed for a great Italian meal. Start off with: (more…)
This is a great gift basket for saying thank you
This is a great gift basket for saying thank you! It has very good wine, cabernet sauvignon and a pinot grigio which a person would enjoy.
The combination of focaccia crisps, cheese, almonds, olives, and amaretto almond cookies goes well with the wine. I especially like the cheese and amaretto almond cookies. The flavor of the cheese and cookies will be great with the wine.
The way the basket is put together brings out the food and wine in the basket. It looks very well in the gold and burgundy print box and tied with a beautiful golden bow. It is elegant and will give the impression that the gift basket cost more that it actually does. I believe that anyone who receives this beautiful basket will be impressed and would appreciate the thought behind the gift. I can remember getting a wine gift basket and it was very funny because it only had wine and some odd crackers. It was in a strange basket and it needed a lot of the.
Wine and cheese gift basket
This wine and cheese gift basket is a good gift for an anniversary celebration. Especially if the couple was getting away for the weekend. It could also be good for a holiday gift or to take to a dinner party.
I think that the choices of foods will be a great combination with both wines. Cheeses and almonds all sound wonderful, so do the cookies. I am not so sure about the olives. Perhaps they would go better with the pinot grigio along with the focaccia crisps. The cabernet sauvignon would be a great complement to the almonds and amaretto almond cookies. That is why it is a perfect complement to a dinner party, or special celebration.
I don’t think a birthday party, unless it is for your spouse! This has "romantic getaway" written all over it. It is perfect for a weekend away-the secret item tucked away in the suitcase. When we had our 12th anniversary a few years back, a very thoughtful coworker gave us a bucket of champagne, chocolate, a romantic movie, candles, etc. We really enjoyed it.
