Roaring Brook Dairy Cheesemaking Kit, $26
Last year your younger bro was caught growing something not so cultured. Channel that energy by getting him everything he needs to make a melty mozzarella topping for his munchies.
Matfer Bourgeat Apple Corer, $210

Cheese Serving Board, $45
For your 3,287th holiday fete, give a hostess gift you’d actually like to receive. A rustic cross section of a log combines to make one striking piece or eight individual wedges when pulled apart.

Your little niece is becoming quite the baker — give her treats a fancy (and rare) flavor boost with pure rose and orange blossom water extracts.
Fran’s Chocolates Dark Chocolate Sauce, $9
Your yoga instructor’s discipline is admirable, but she’s been known to indulge her sweet tooth during the holidays. Make it worth her while with high-quality cocoa to drizzle over ice cream or berries.
