Discount Cody Foster Co. Charcuterie Glass Ornament by Cody Foster

A charcuterie board, shrunk down and made in glass. A charcuterie board ornament is one of those gifts that lands instantly, because everybody knows exactly who in their life builds the board, and this one flatters that person without being cute about it. Cody Foster renders it in glass with warm orange tones, which gives the whole thing a depth that a flat wooden or acrylic charcuterie ornament never gets near. Pair it with the cheese board piece and you have a two-ornament story on the tree, or give the pair together to someone setting up a first real kitchen. It is a strong ornament exchange entry too, since it is specific enough to feel chosen and universal enough that nobody is stuck with it. Hang it where a light hits, then step back; the small painted details are the entire point. Off the tree, it works tied to a bottle of wine on the way to dinner, which is a nicer arrival than a bow.

What is a Christmas ornament exchange? An ornament exchange is a holiday party game where each guest brings one wrapped ornament and everyone draws or swaps to take one home. Because the gift does not need to be sized or personalized, novelty and food-themed ornaments are among the most common picks for these exchanges.
