How to plan an effortless girls' night in

When I arrived in the USA 15 years ago, my sweet mother-in-law was the one who introduced me to Harry & David. We used to go to one of their stores whenever she hosted a get-together so I have very fond memories of living in Naples and shopping at Harry & David with her for all our entertaining needs and holiday gifts.

I am a home buddy who loves spending time at home enjoying great food and good company. I am always game for easy entertaining at home. The best way to keep it simple and stress-free if you are inviting your girlfriends over is creating a charcuterie board. What I love about charcuterie boards is the fact there’s no right or wrong when you are building one, especially when you are spending time with your besties.

First thing I do when I plan my charcuterie board is deciding what size cutting board or platter I am using before shopping for my food items. Luckily, I didn’t have to do any of that this time around. I selected this beautiful antipasto assortment which comes with delicious gourmet foods and a bamboo cutting board making all my dreams as a hostess come true. It came with everything I needed to assemble a delicious board making planning my menu so much easier. I also added a great variety of nuts because nuts are my favorite thing ever.

No get-together is complete without wine. A bottle of sparkling wine is definitely a must to complement your charcuterie board. Harry & David sparkling wine was the perfect choice for our girls get-together. It is a very light wine with a hint of grapefruit and crisp apple & pear flavors.

If your girlfriends are big cheese lovers, be sure to include a variety of cheese. I ordered a wonderful collection of artisanal cheeses. If you know me well, you know I am a very adventurous person when it comes to trying new foods. I love being introduced to new interesting flavors! I invite you to read the description of this Beehive Cheese Co. Gift Box because I don’t think I can describe it better. I was very intrigued by the combination of flavors so I needed to include them. Best choice ever because they are amazing, my friends!
