When it comes to gift-giving, few things speak to the heart and taste buds quite like a well-thought-out cheese gift. Whether it's for a birthday, an anniversary, or just a thoughtful way to say "get well soon," a personalised cheese gift can make the occasion even more special. Here’s how to add that personal touch to any cheese gift from the Chuckling Cheese Company. 

Plan Ahead

A personalised gift takes time to prepare. Avoid leaving things until last minute if possible and find out the recipient’s taste preferences early on. Research the flavour profiles of different cheeses and discover more about flavour pairings to create the perfect ensemble of tasty food and drinks. With our ‘build-your-own’ gift hamper option, you can select the contents of the cheese gift yourself, allowing you to pack it full of treats you know they’ll love. 

Consider the Occasion

Is the cheese gift for a birthday, an anniversary, to wish someone “get well soon”, or for some other event? Thinking about the particular occasion can help when brainstorming ideas. For example, a birthday gift could be something fun and experimental, like a cheese gift box filled with a variety of bold and unusual flavours. An anniversary, on the other hand, may call for something sophisticated and indulgent like a lavish cheese hamper with aged cheddars and perhaps a bottle of fine wine. 

Budget

Set a budget to establish whether you’re going for a modest yet delicious cheese truckle, a cheese hamper, or even an enormous cheese cake. Now that you have the occasion in mind, you should have an idea of how much you want to spend. The Chuckling Cheese Company offers cheese gifts at a wide price range, giving you plenty of choices no matter your budget.

Choose Luxury Quality

A smaller gift of luxury quality will be more appreciated than a large one that feels lacklustre. Consider the materials and craftsmanship that go into a cheese gift. Chuckling Cheeses, for example, are handmade luxury items, allowing you to customise a personal and bespoke gift. 

Pick a Theme

Choosing a theme is a fun way to personalise a cheese gift, especially if it’s a cheese hamper. When it comes to cheese, your theme could be just about anything – a cheese “tour around the world”, a movie night-themed hamper, a romantic date night theme, or a comforting ‘get-well-soon’ hamper – let your creativity run wild! 

Ask For Advice

Ask a mutual friend for advice on what kind of cheese gift the recipient might prefer. Choosing a gift can be a collaborative effort and a fun one at that! Discussing cheese gift ideas might help you discover a cheese they love or a favourite chutney.

Any Dietary Requirements?

Now is the time to find out about allergies and dietary requirements! If the recipient is vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-intolerant, the good news is you won’t be short of options at the Chuckling Cheese Company. Our vegan and gluten-free range allows you to accommodate the recipient’s dietary requirements without compromising on quality. 

Blue Cheese?

Important question: is the recipient a fan of blue cheese? Not to be a blue cheese hater, but let’s face it, it’s not to everyone’s tastes. Other cheeses that might be polarising (yet absolutely delicious, we insist!) are goat cheese or any cheese considered “stinky”. Find out which cheeses are a no-go, so the recipient can enjoy every item in their cheese hamper. 

Be Unique

Don’t be afraid to select cheeses that are unique! If the recipient is a real foodie, they’ll be delighted to try something new. However, you might want to play safe if you don’t know them very well. Otherwise, go wild and choose some unusual cheeses, like our award-winning Charcoal-infused Cheddar or Gin & Tonic cheese. 

Decorate the Packaging

The first thing the recipient sees is the packaging, so pro-tip: make it look beautiful! A well-presented cheese gift is half the delight, setting them up for the delicious treats inside. To gift wrap an item from the Chuckling Cheese Company, select the “Gift Wrap it” option from the drop-down menu. You can also choose from a range of gift wrap toppers to personalise the gift. 

Include a Personal Message

A personal note is a more direct way to express exactly what you want to say to the recipient. Include a simple handwritten message expressing your thoughts, wishes, or a funny cheese pun to make the gift truly memorable. 

Have Fun!

Choosing a cheese gift is all about making the recipient feel happy, so have fun with it! Your enthusiasm and efforts will show in the final result. The smallest of details, from a cheesy joke to a call-back to a fond memory, will be appreciated.
