For the chocolate lover
This is the perfect gift for that friend who loves chocolate a little too much. (Let's be real, is there even such a thing?) The Deluxe Chest of Chocolates with Wine is overflowing with dark chocolate-covered Moose Munch popcorn, a mouthwatering chocolate decadence cake, chocolate truffles, and more. The whole thing is accompanied by a bottle of Royal Crest Red blend wine and comes tucked in a wood and pleather chest.
For the foodie
Treat your loved one to a savory feast on their birthday with the "Happy Birthday" Meat and Cheese Gift Box. Snack on hickory-smoked summer sausage, four kinds of cheese (including Gouda and Sicilian Jack), honey hot mustard, and Pepper & Onion Relish. The lucky recipient can try their hand at creating their own charcuterie board!
For the dessert lover
When you bring The Cheesecake Factory to a birthday party, you're bringing sweet bliss. This cake is piled high with layers of original cheesecake and confetti cake, as well as strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla mousse, and finished off with cream cheese frosting (and sprinkles, of course!). It's safe to say the Celebration Cheesecake comes fully loaded.
For the wine connoisseur
Regale them with a box of goodies that will tickle their palate. This Birthday White Wine Box comes with a bottle of pinot gris paired with sharp white cheddar cheese, three-seed crackers, the famous Pepper & Onion Relish, and much more.

For the snacker
Celebrate their birthday with popcorn and a movie night. The Moose Munch Birthday Tin features four different signature flavors, including white chocolate birthday cake and classic caramel. The best part? You don't need a gift bag because this gift comes in a celebratory birthday tin! You're on your own to wrap it.
For the ice cream AND cake lover
Show your loved one that they really take the cake with a delicious Carvel Crunch Ice Cream Cake.

A chocolate cake is a wonderful way to wish a happy birthday to someone you love, and this one is big enough for a whole party to enjoy.
For the cheese connoisseur
This is the perfect gift for that someone whose charcuterie boards are always next level. The Gourmet Cheese Assortment is a selection of award-winning cheeses from Point Reyes Farmstead, Beehive Cheese Co., Caves of Faribault, and Sartori.

The cheeses pair nicely with red wines and IPAs as well.
