Have You Considered These Wine Cheese or Meat Food Gift Ideas for Christmas?
Meat and Cheese Gift IdeasMeat and cheese gift baskets are a great food gift to give during the holidays. They’re perfect appetizers for entertaining, so hosts and hostesses appreciate the thoughtful gift. You can choose form many brands and variations of the gifts themselves.
The Hickory Farms company is well-known for its delicious summer sausage, but they have so much more to offer, and their brand is synonymous with gift giving around the Christmas season.
The company even offers free shipping to the military – a very patriotic act by this company! In addition to sausages and cheese blocks, they also sell signature nut gifts and fresh fruit, too.
Other brands have some amazing offers, too. Check out the
Art of Appreciation Gift Baskets - Smoked Salmon and Seafood Gift Box.
It has a fishing themed container, so it would make a great gift for a special man in your life.
It includes salmon fillets, an herb pate, smoked salmon pate, cheese straws, and a variety of crisp crackers for the recipient.
The same company also makes another gift basket that includes salmon, but also has beef salami, a couple of cheese options, seasoned crackers, cheddar biscuits, and more!
A company called Wisconsinmade makes a tantalizing food gift basket called the Deluxe Meat and Cheese Gift Box.
It includes beef summer sausage and salami, a variety of cheeses in the flavors of tomato basil cheddar, cranberry cheddar, and roasted garlic.
It comes with a cheddar cheese spread and a few mustard options, including stone ground, sweet and hot, champagne, and honey. A box of wafer rolls completes the gift basket.
The Swiss Colony company is a household name, just like Hickory Farms. They are known for their sausage and cheese blocks, but there’s one gift box in particular that’s always a hit.
It’s the Swiss Colony Sausages ‘n Cheese Bars, which comes in 4, 6 or 9-piece options. You can get their 4-piece pack, which includes Kreme Kaese and cheddar cheese, and their original and summer sausages.
The 6-piece Swiss Colony gift box includes the previous four items, but you get to add in some Colby cheese and a garlic beef sausage for your gift recipient.
And the 9-piece pack gives you all previous selections, along with a Caraway beef sausage log and Swiss and Edam cheeses.
Swiss Colony meats and cheeses aren’t all they have to offer. You can also give the gift of desserts, nuts and snacks, coffee, fruit spread, and even clothing and homemade gifts.
If you happen to know of someone who is on a sugar free diet, then they have a special category for that, too.
Wine and CheeseWine and cheese pairings make wonderful Christmas gifts for friends, family and acquaintances.
You always want to make sure that your recipient drinks win first, because not everyone enjoys an alcoholic beverage. But if they do, there are some fantastic choices for you to send them.
One of the premiere brands to consider in this realm is Wine.com – and those selections can even be ordered on
Amazon Wine Store, too – where many of them have free Super Saver shipping.
They have some selections that include wine flavored cheeses with other snacks and items like cutting boards, but you can also select an option that includes the actual wine in it.
For example, the Fine Wine & Cheese Wine Gift Basket has an array of tasty treats, like a cheese spread, olives, cocktail almonds, and crackers. But it also comes with a Raymond R Collection Chardonnay.
Then there’s the Sonoma Tower Food & Wine Gift. It’s much larger than the previous item, and includes a Chardonnay and a Cabernet Sauvignon. It has similar snack items as the other, including almonds, sausage, crackers, truffles, and cheese.
A mouth-watering option is the Tuscan Trattoria Italian Wine Gift Basket, which doesn’t come in a basket at all, but a theme-fitting colander for the recipient of your Christmas gift to strain his or her pasta in.
The gift includes a couple of different pasta selections, and two sauces – tomato basil and Pesto alla Genovese. They get a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, and a special treat of almond biscotti.
This company also has many special collections that serve to make great Christmas gifts.
For example, if you know someone who sticks to red wine, then you might gift them the Quintessential Reds Wine Gift Collection that has six signature red wines from France, Italy, Argentina, Australia, Spain, and Chile.
You can choose certain regions for your gift selection, like the Grand Tour de France Wine Gift Collection, which includes six wines from the most popular French wine regions – two white bottles and four red bottles of wine.
With both of these options, you can add your own cheese and accompanying treats.
You might want to consider the Wine and Cheese Gift Basket Cutting Board by Nikki’s Gift Baskets. This is a simple, yet elegant gift choice that includes a California red wine paired with cheese, almonds, bruschetta crisps and a cute cutting board.
The Chalone Double Delight Wine and Cheese Gift Basket is another great choice for your Christmas gift list. It includes a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Merlot bottle, as well as crackers, wine and cheese biscuits, cabernet cheese spread, cheese bars, and chocolate with a wooden cheese board, corkscrew and cheese spreader.
