"Northern Virginia’s gourmet creamery Cheesetique just celebrated a big birthday of 20 years in business. The shop and restaurant in Del Ray specializes in hard-to-find cheeses, meats, and accompaniments from around the world, as well as women-owned wines. Naturally, Cheesetique puts together a great snack platter; pick up a holiday box filled with three cheeses, one sliced meat, sweet and savory accoutrements, and crackers for $49.99 to $99.99 — all chosen by Cheesetique’s cheesemongers. Or opt for the $10 “make anything a gift basket” option, and your selections will be packaged up beautifully." - Adele Chapin
