Wednesday Feb 3 2021

The word might not roll off the tongue… charcue… what now?! But it IS easy to create. Let the shops at Gardner Village help you create the SWEETEST charcuterie board for your Valentine.

 

STEP 1: Think Gift

Beyond edibles, a charcuterie board makes a very creative gift idea. Beyond sweets, think of extras you can add that will last well beyond the time the treats are gone. And don’t forget a board to build your gift on. Down to Earth, CF Home Furniture and Design, and Layers Bedding are just a few of the shops that offer board-friendly fare, including the actual boards.

STEP 2: Add Ambiance

Charcuterie boards are about more than just displaying yummy eats. Up the romance by sprinkling some flowers in the mix. Simply Flowers sells an assortment of loose florals, so you can select just the right combination of board enhancements. Or take things up a notch and go for an entire arrangement.

STEP 3: Bring on the Baked

Rise at Gardner Village has a full display case full of beautiful desserts, including these delicious sugar cookies. (Aren’t they cute?!) Get a few and add the sweetest of touches to your charcuterie board.

TIP: Play with Height
