The Cheese Lover's Gift Guide - Pt 4



For the kooky, eccentric friend

Because she can see the art in everything and loves a good backstory.


Splurge: A gold cheese ring ($599/£350) by Japanese designer Taadaki Wakamatsu at Q-Pot from goodasgold.co.nz. Amazing.


Save: DIY fashion. Nothing screams "BFF" louder than a handmade collection of wearable cheese. And don't fear—no need to get all Project Runway up on her. The essentials: Superglue (£3), belt, Primark (£1.50), bangle, Primark (£2), bag of 12 x 20g Babybel (£3), one stick of string cheese (50p), any extra colorful fabric you have sitting around the house.

First, split open all the Babybels and slice them into half-moon shapes that fit the width of your belt. Glue a strip of newspaper to belt, then glue Babybels onto paper. Done and done. Looks just like ivory, no? Finally, grab a bangle and wrap it with some colorful fabric. Peel string cheese stick and get crazy. Secure to bracelet either with glue or by making a fun knot. Tactile and geometric, this style is perfect for a pal who loves the 80s. Bonus: This lil' booger is actually wearable after the cheese rots!
