Gourmet and Classy Gift Baskets for special holidays, occasions, birthdays

My husband and I exchange gifts with a few of our neighbors each year for the holidays. It seems that each year it gets more difficult to think of a gift. This year we decided to give them cheese gift baskets.

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 could be of higher quality and we could choose varieties that we knew our friends liked.

Each of our neighbor’s was very pleased with the gift basket. They all like entertaining during the holidays and so the cheese would be served at their gatherings. We simply purchase the baskets in advance and then the day we are giving the baskets we purchase and cut the cheeses. My husband and I decided that we are going to make similar baskets for our brothers and sisters. This is a gift that can be assembled quickly just prior to giving it so that freshness and storage do not become an issue. We decided we could also include a bottle on wine and other goodies for those people that we want a larger present for.

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 did not want this for the gift basket. We then went to a local deli. This deli wraps the meat and cheeses in paper. We decided to go to the supermarket and purchase large rounds of four cheeses. We were making four cheese gift baskets so we could quarter each round and wrap the wedges in clear plastic wrap. We also purchased boxes of specialty crackers to place in the baskets. We went to a paper supply store and bought shredded paper to use in the bottom of the baskets as filler. We also bought curling ribbon to decorate the handles of the baskets.

We brought our purchases home and cut and wrapped the cheeses. I placed the filler in the bottom of each basket then arranged the cheeses, cutters and crackers in each. I used a few strands of the curling ribbon and tied the strands to the handles.
