All of it got here shrink-wrapped in its personal sections, in little bamboo and/or cardboard boats set right into a reusable acacia wooden tray. All I needed to do was unwrap the sections and organize the crackers. There are three totally different board sizes (Traditional serves 2-3, Medium serves 4-5, and Giant serves 9-10, which I discovered to be correct as long as the board is getting used as an appetizer and never a meal), in addition to vacation themes and customizable cheese numbers and letters. There’s additionally the choice for add-ons like baked brie ($129) or contemporary honeycomb ($19). A discount it’s not, however in the event you’re trying to take a number of the stress out of Thanksgiving meal planning, that is positive to be successful. —Kat Merck
