What other Marinated Cheese recipes can I put in my Christmas Gift Baskets?

Someone gave me the idea to include Olive Oil Marinated Feta Cheese in my gift baskets that already include: Homemade pickled garlic, homemade honey butter, rum butter, bread, and Rice Crispy treats. I loooove the Feta cheese idea however, I found out that feta cheese is pretty exspencive. Do you think i can use Cheddar or jack? Or do you know a similar recipe for something along the same line as marinated cheese?
--------------------
How about: Marinated Mozzarella 1 pound fresh mozzarella cheese 1 tablespoon parsley, coarsely chopped 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped 1/2 cup strong olive oil 2 teaspoons lemon juice Cut the mozzarella into 1-inch cubes. Place in a bowl. Add the parsley, basil, oil, and lemon juice and toss to coat. Let sit at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours before serving.
