The Cheese Lover's Gift Guide - Pt 1

If you're like most of us sad sacks this year, your holiday budget has probably been cut in half—or quarters, or eighths. Don't cry your loved ones a river. Get a little creative for the cheese enthusiast in your life, and make the holidays all the more heartfelt. (And if you still have tons of expendable income, check out our "Splurge" options, you bastard.) Over the next five days, I present my recommendations for the most important people on your list this season.

First up:

The boss

Because he knows how much you really make, after all.


Splurge: The Annual Cheese Experience gift selection from The Cheese Society (£363/$602; thecheesesociety.co.uk). A year's worth of top-quality cheese delivered to her doorstep each month, plus a stainless steel cheese knife, a "cheesy" mousemat, a "Bag for Life," and cheese handbook included in the first box. Can you say "promotion"/"brown-noser"?


Save: An assortment of supermarket cheeses arranged in an aesthetically pleasing manner (try Ilchester Mini Cheese selection, 12 pieces for £3/$5; stocking, £1/$1.65). Accompany with a fancy-looking cheese knife set, for the boss who isn't a d-bag.
