Holiday hosting, wrapped up in one bundle. A mango wood cheese and cutting board shaped like a Christmas tree, its trunk making a handy handle, arrives with three woven cotton dish cloths stacked on top and tied in place with jute twine. It looks like a present before you even add a bow.

The cloths come in three holiday patterns: a bright red plaid laced with green and gold lines and white stitching, a deep red with a small woven check, and a crisp white with bands of green plaid and thin red stripes. Each is 10-1/2 inches square, ready for drying glasses, wiping the counter or lining a basket of warm rolls. The board measures 10 by 7 inches, just right for a wedge of brie, a stack of crackers or a few slices of fruitcake, and the handle makes it easy to pass around the room. Bring it to a holiday party in place of a bottle of wine, or keep it for your own kitchen and set out cheese the minute guests walk in.
