MADISON, Wis. — Across the country, edible gifts are becoming a favorite way to share meaning and memory. In Wisconsin, cheesemakers embrace the trend with handcrafted gift boxes inspired by connection, tradition, and the simple joy of delicious food. Nearly half of shoppers say they plan to give food and beverages this year, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers’ 2025 Holiday Shopping Intentions Survey — a sign that people are choosing gifts that feel personal, shareable, and full of flavor.

Reflecting that spirit, Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin is spotlighting more than 20 artisan makers through a collection of holiday gift baskets—each one a delicious celebration of craft and care. Each basket shares a message of the people, places, and traditions that make Wisconsin, The State of Cheese.
