Forget "cheesy" holiday sweaters.

• Position: What's New?

If you're interested in delicious holiday gifting, definitely check out culinary pioneers Di Bruno Bros. Both on their website and in their Philadelphia cheese shops, the team of cheesemongers and specialty food pros have curated a diverse and exciting selection of gifts for every occasion, as gift baskets are smartly arranged to accommodate any appetite:

* Cheese Lover. Each Cheese Plate is themed to reflect a specific pairing, from "Beer Lover's Cheeses" for craft beer geeks to "Red Wine Cheeses" for cozy winter snacking. Impress a Francophile with "French Cheeses" or transport a loved one to La Citta Eterna with "Italian Cheeses."

* Chocoholic. The "Gourmet Sweets" category includes everything from Signature Collection cookies and chocolate bars to massive jars of crowd-pleasing Nutella.

* Meat-Head. Browse the many charcuterie selections or go with the classic "Provolone and Pepperoni" gift box: Abbruzze Pepperoni, a 15-ounce Auricchio Provolone Ball, olives, roasted peppers, and rosemary crostini. This is game day in a box.

* Adventurous Eater. Test their tolerance for heat with the "Spicy Basket," a collection of fiery goodies that include a spicy Calabrian spreadable sausage and Hernan hot chocolates.

* Midnight Snacker. The "VIP Cheese Crate" is a late-night nibbler's dream: sweet and salty craving crushers such as biscotti, nuts, chips, chocolates, and much more.

* Host with the Most. Stand out among a sea of wine bottles and festive plants with a hostess gift they'll remember: keep it simple and classic with aged balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil; honor holiday traditions with Di Bruno Bros.' signature panettone; or give the gift of knowledge with House of Cheese, author Tenaya Darlington's comprehensive book about Philadelphia's cheese dynasty.

* Buddies who Brunch. Skip the lines on Sunday morning and prepare brunch at home with Di Bruno's complete kit, featuring their Rittenhouse Blend coffee beans...
