Charcuterie Board as a Gift
Who doesn’t love a charcuterie board? I want names. Seriously, the options are endless: meats, cheeses, fruits, preserves, nuts, the list goes on. There is virtually something for everyone. Charcuterie has slipped into our cultural zeitgeist as of the past few years and there are few gatherings/menus that lack them. We are accustomed to their presence but I’m gonna show you how to get accustomed to them as presents. (yes, yes I did).
Our good friends recently moved, so I decided what better house warming present than a charcuterie board? It serves many purposes:
Something to eat while everything is still in boxes and you take “the tour”
A new place means lots of visitors popping into check out the place and that means the homeowners will be prepared for guests and impress them in the process.
Once the board items are gone, they are left with a lasting gift in the form of a cheese board, butcher block or cutting board
With all this in mind I headed to Homegoods to see what they had
Is this sight all too familiar?
So many options and styles to choose from
