Here are a few pointers that we would like to share with you today;

• Sausage rolls and cheese is one of the best combinations tried and doled out as gifting options. Include various types of flavored cheeses in small quantities, such as smoke or even ribbed ones, or the yummy Swiss cheese with sausages and to it put in some crackers and beef with mustard packets.

• You could also have little cheese baskets for the kitchen gifted to the single mother whose your neighbor. The basket would have various types of cheeses and small utensils used for cheese, such as cheese slicers, knives, graters and even a board for cutting cheese. Wrap it with colorful paper and voila!!

• For the newly wed couple who has just moved in and has yet to know the people around better, give them a warm welcome with a cheesy basket that screams your love for everything made of cheese. From favorite FETA cheese or Swiss cheese, to cheese crackers, cheese muffins, cheese rolls and cookery books with delicious cheese recipes. Don’t forget to include a pair of cheese knives, a small cutting board and a grater as well to enhance their serving platter desires.

• For a wedding anniversary around the neighborhood, try out the cheesy wine basket. You could have two bottles of the same or different wines arranged and cheese variants packed in colorful cellophane with confetti. Make sure you write the names of the couple on the wine glasses and personalize them further by adding some flavored chocolates of all types.

• Get a gourmet cheese basket for giving out to your neighbors this Halloween, with peanuts, chocolates, raisins, dry fruits and pretzels. But gourmet cheese should be the over riding element in the basket.

• Finally you could have an Italian style cheesy basket as a gift waiting for the couple across the footpath. Put in Parmesan cheese or even Mozzarella and add to them packets of pasta and pizza sauces which scream LA ITALIANO.

Remember folks, it is not what you put in the basket as a cheesy gift option, it is rather the love and thought that counts at the end of the day. So say cheese to the happy times ahead!
