Psychology of Gift Giving


People give gifts to show thoughtfulness, affection, and love. Gifts are a wonderful way to tell your family and friends you care. Picking out gifts can be challenging, especially after the gift-laden Christmas holiday. When selecting an ideal present, it’s crucial to be attentive and find something the recipient wants or needs. Putting the recipient first makes a difference.

At the same time, you want to provide a personal touch with a present that could only have come from you. The best gifts are also unpredictable. A candle or plant will be appreciated, but it’s hardly unique. Scientific research suggests giving the gift of an experience can help boost the strength of your relationship with the recipient, according to Psychology Today.

If you are ringing in the New Year with family and friends, bringing them a small gift you can enjoy together at the celebration or once their guests leave is a lovely gesture they will appreciate. When you’re shopping for New Year’s gifts, keep in mind the start of January is prime time for New Year’s resolutions. If your friend participates in Dry January, a bottle of wine will gather dust. Or, if your loved one is renewing a commitment to weight loss, a box of chocolates poses an unappreciated temptation.

The National Retail Federation forecasts Americans to spend $832 on gifts, decorations, and food during the upcoming holiday season. Finding affordable New Year’s gifts that spark joy is vital to cost-conscious consumers.

Best Gifts are Cheesy


Cheese Brothers crafts an all-natural, tasty choice for New Year’s gifts. We showcase a variety of cheese and sausage gift baskets on our website for any occasion, including New Year’s gifts. You can order them in advance to bring to the New Year’s party, or have a basket of our house cheese classics delivered directly to your loved one.

Milk for our cheeses is sourced from small Wisconsin dairies, and our products are high-quality and never processed. We offer classic cheese and some exciting types and flavors, such as Honey Sriracha Gouda and Green Onion Cheddar. At Cheese Brothers, we cold-smoke our cheeses slowly with hardwood. It infuses the cheese with a rich flavor and preserves the texture.

Toast the New Year with cheese! We deliver delicious meats and cheeses straight to your doorstep. Our Charcuterie Box features three blocks of Wisconsin cheese and two blocks of our reserve cheese, such as Rhapsody or 8-Year Aged Cheddar. The box also includes black peppercorn salami and cherry lavender jam. If your friends like to spice it up, we recommend our Deluxe Hot and Spicy Gift Collection. In addition to four blocks of our spicy cheeses, the gift box includes two bottles of hot sauce from Bushel & Peck’s of Beloit, Wisconsin. Our Cheese and Thank You gift pack is a thoughtful way to show someone you appreciate them. It features seven blocks of cheese.

Shop Cheese Gifts and Bundles


We know how to protect the integrity of your cheese in transit. Our vacuum-sealed, hard cheeses are safe outside of refrigeration. Although not a major concern in cold weather months, if temperatures are above 60 degrees in your location, we ship the cheese in an insulated box with gel ice packs.

For the perfect New Year’s gift delivered before the countdown of the ball drop starts, shop cheese and gift bundles at Cheese Brothers today.
