Cheesy Gifts for Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is coming up soon, so why not send your mum something special this year? Instead of the usual chocolate and flowers for mother’s day, you can make her smile with a delicious selection of cheeses and chutneys that she’ll absolutely adore.
So if you’re conflicted about what to buy mum this year, we’re here to help!
The Best Gifts for Mother’s Day
Unlike Christmas and birthdays, mother’s day gifts often fall into the ‘predictable’ category. Browse any retailer’s mother’s day gift selection and you’ll be overwhelmed with boxes of chocolates, flowers, teddys, mugs, and cheeky tipples.
Now, we’re not saying that these aren’t all great gifts, no mum wouldn’t be happy to see them, but this is the time to push the boat out a little to secure your place as ‘favourite child’.
Let’s talk cheese. We don’t mean corny romcoms and 80s pop; we specialise in fabulous artisan cheese that is amazing for gifting.
Why Gift Cheese for Mother’s Day?
Edible gifts are always a great choice for mother’s day. And if your mum loves cheese, she’ll be more than happy to receive something tasty from Hartington Creamery.
Even if she isn’t a cheese aficionado like many of our customers are, you can still show her what she’s been missing. Once you try any of our range, it’s hard to go back to bland supermarket cheese.
But what cheese should you send? Well, that’s where it gets a little tricky. If she is new to the world of artisan cheese, you can’t go wrong with the classics. White Stilton, our Squadron cheddar, and maybe something stronger like Peakland blue if you think she’ll like it. Blue cheese can be an acquired taste, but if you pair it with the right accompaniments, it becomes a lot easier for anyone to enjoy – more about those a little later!
Cheese that’s From the Heart (of Hartington!)
The latest addition to our cheese selection just so happens to be perfect for Mother’s day. Our Heart of Hartington cheese truckles are made with love, and we like to show it!
With a combination of colourful wax keeping the cheese safe and fresh and the unique heart-shaped sticker, these truckles stand out in a hamper of gift box.
As always, there are multiple flavours to choose from:
- Balti Spiced Cheese
- Black Pepper Cheese
- Chilli Derby Cheese
- Red Derby Cheese
- Red Onion Cheese
- Smokey Derby Cheese
- Tomato and Garlic Cheese
- Squadron Extra Mature Cheddar
These are all fantastic individually if you know what your mother likes best, but they’re also brilliant as a selection so she can pick and choose, especially since you’ll get a discount for ordering 3 or 5!
Artisan cheese is best when shared with friends and family, so the more the merrier!
Once you know which cheese your mum will love, it’s time to decide how you want to send it to her. Thankfully, the best choice is a lot more obvious this time!
Cheese Gift Hampers for Mother’s Day
Our cheese gift hampers are perfect for mother’s day. With other cheese suppliers the cheese will arrived in a basic box, but when Hartington is your go-to, just opening the packaging is an event.
Even if you don’t choose the authentic wicker hamper option, your cheese will arrive in a stunning box with eco-friendly paper to keep everything secure. When you open the box, you’re greeted with your cheese and cheese accompaniments nestled together in their wax or sustainable packaging; you’ll see great presentation without having to lift a finger!
This makes it easier for you too, as you can send the hamper directly to the recipient and won’t have to worry about how the package will look. Just be sure to be close by so you don’t miss out on the eating later!
When your mum opens her cheese gift hamper, it isn’t just cheese she’ll find. Whether you selected a pre-filled hamper or customised it yourself, there will be plenty of other treats to enjoy.
Best Cheese Accompaniments for Mother’s Day
Although our artisan cheese is our pride and joy, we also provide a number of accompaniments to enjoy with it.
The most popular are our amazing chutneys, which add some sweetness or spice to complement the savoury cheese. Some of these are made by our friends at Fruits of the Forage, who use locally sourced ingredients to make some unique flavours, as well as plenty of fan favourites.
But we got jealous of their chutney making, so decided to add a few of our own! Part of our Heart of Hartington collection are three new flavours for you to try:
Whether you want to add a dollop of spicy kick, or some smooth fruitiness, there’s more choice than ever. If you know what your mum will like best, you can add them manually, or you can trust our expertise to add in the chutneys that complement your cheese the best.
Our other accompaniments include delicious sustainable crackers from Popti and Stag, smooth Cornish pâté and cured meats for your charcuterie board, and of course a few liquid accompaniments like real ale, wine, or port!
A Mother’s Day Gift that Won’t be Forgotten
With so much choice available, both for cheese and accompaniments, you’ll always be able to put together the perfect hamper for mother’s day. Our cheese is amazing on its own, for a cheese board, and you can even cook with it!
No matter what, mum is in for a treat.
