Planning a wine and cheese party? Make sure what you’re using to serve snacks is just as cute as your food is delicious.
1. MOUSE TRAP; $22
At first glance, this item just looks like an oversized mouse trap. Ingeniously, the snapping part of the trap can be removed to reveal it’s actually a cheese slicer. A chunk of cheese can be displayed and sliced on the 9-inch-long board—just don’t invite any mice to the party.

2. MOUSE BOARD; $30
If a mouse trap is a little too macabre for your shindig, consider this adorable alternative. Assemble your cheeses on the 8-inch-long board and slice them up with a mouse-shaped knife that can be stored in the Tom and Jerry-esque mouse hole at the bottom.
