20 Best Meat and Cheese Gift Baskets for Every Occasion
Order online and have them delivered to your door!
Fact: Food gift baskets make great gifts for any occasion, from birthdays to holidays to big milestones. There's something extra special about the best meat and cheese baskets, in particular. They can transport your tastebuds across the country or around the world, sampling the finest savory selections without even leaving home. While you can certainly create your own homemade food gifts, there are so many great options to buy already made.
The nice thing about shopping for a cheese and meat gift basket is that you can either select a sampling of just those two things, or opt to get fancier with add-ons like jams, honey, dried fruit, and crackers. There are also a variety of price points depending on your budget. The baskets on this list range anywhere from under $50 to over $300, with every option offering something different.
Our Top Picks
While there used to be a few gift basket companies that dominated the market (hello, Harry & David!), thanks to sites offering nationwide shipping and platforms like Goldbelly, you can get some of the best meat and cheese boards in the country from smaller shops sent straight to your home. Pair it with your favorite bottle or one of the best wine subscription boxes to round out their special feast. And if you want to go above and beyond, be sure to check out kitchen gifts, including the best gifts for chefs, for gadget ideas like a set of shiny new cheese knives. A gift basket like that'll have them say, "what an un-brie-lievably good gift!"
