Intelligencer - Give Her Cheese

When in doubt, we always say, get them cheese. Of all the types of food gifts out there, a selection of cheese seems the most ideal. It doesn’t require any actual work to eat, it doesn’t go bad immediately, and, well, it’s cheese! Murray’s, the classic New York cheesemonger, has a great online-ordering situation — in fact, we’ve recommended Murray’s cheese selections as gifts for anyone from chefs to food or wine lovers — and Mother’s Day is no different.

Might we suggest two Murray’s boxes that would make excellent gifts. First, the “mother of all Mother’s Day gift boxes” collection, which features everything you need to make the perfect cheese board (including preserves, charcuteries, and three cheeses: a blue cheese, a fonduelike soft cheese, and a creamy Alpine cheese) for $110. If you’re looking to spend slightly less, we also like this sampler with six delicious wheels and wedges for $79
