You don't want hungry guests crowding your kitchen as you prepare Christmas dinner, so we recommend distracting them with the charcuterie and cheese boards from Boarderie. The pre-arranged, expertly crafted boards arrive overnight: just take the board out of your fridge an hour before serving, unwrap it, and serve. Even Oprah is a fan, naming Boarderie to her favorite things list two years in a row. For dinner, three friends and I tried a large board — designed to serve up to 10 people as an appetizer — and only made it halfway through before we were stuffed.
