Gifts for People Who Can’t Stop Talking About Cheese
We all know that person. The one who can’t walk past a deli counter without stopping to inspect the brie, who casually drops the word “affinage” into conversation, and who has strong opinions on whether manchego pairs better with quince or honey. Yep, we’re talking about the cheese-obsessed friend (or maybe that’s you !).
So what do you buy for someone who treats cheese like a lifestyle, not just a snack? Whether you want something quirky, classy, or just downright cheesy (pun 100% intended), here are the best gift ideas for cheese lovers that will have them grinning from ear to edam.
Some of my links will be affiliate links, that means that if you buy something through them, I make make a small commision, this does not affect the price for you, but it helps support this website.
1. Personalised Cheese Boards
Because every cheese deserves a red-carpet moment. From engraved wooden boards to slate platters with their name, a personalised cheese board instantly upgrades any snack night into a full-blown event. You could appeal to their ego if you add “Master of Cheese” under their name.
I quite like this one, it looks like a piece of wood.
2. Punny Cheese Mugs
What pairs perfectly with a morning brew? A cheesy pun, of course. Think designs like “Sweet Dreams Are Made of Cheese”, “You’re As Gouda As It Gets”, or even customizable mugs like “In Queso Emergency, Call [Name]”. Perfect for anyone who wants to loudly declare their dairy devotion.
you’re as Gouda as it gets!
3. A Cheese of the Month Subscription
Why settle for cheddar when you could surprise them with rare alpine cheeses, smoky blues, or truffle-infused wonders delivered right to their door? It’s like Netflix for cheese, but way more delicious.
This looks exciting.
4. Cheese-Themed Apparel
For the friend who wants the world to know: Yes, I’m into cheese. From socks covered in parmesan patterns to t-shirts shouting “Brie Mine,” there’s no shortage of wearable dairy devotion.
I love this cheesy t-shirt.
5. The Ultimate Fondue Set
Molten cheese is basically a religion. A chic fondue set (bonus points if it comes with color-coded forks) lets them gather friends around for an oozy, gooey, bubbling pot of heaven.
Just writing this has made me hungry!

Think mugs, tote bags, or notebooks labeled “Cheese Club Member Since [Year] – [Name]”. It gives them official status as a lifelong cheese devotee. (No secret handshake required, just crackers.)
They will feel important when they wear this badge – it will also give them an excuse to eat more cheese.
7. A Good Cheese Knife Set
Serious cheese eaters know: cheddar, brie, and parmesan all need different blades. A fancy set of cheese knives makes them look like they’re hosting a Michelin-starred soirée… even if they’re just in their pyjamas.
This one is really colourful.

For the DIY dairy lover, a kit that lets them whip up fresh mozzarella, ricotta, or even halloumi at home is an unforgettable gift. (Warning: they will brag about their homemade cheese for years.)
This one makes four types of cheese.
