When you have a birthday, anniversary or other special occasion that requires the giving of a gift it is worth considering a wine gift basket. They are always well-received gifts for wine enthusiasts and often include extra wine-related items. You could also include such treats as cheese, chocolates, fruit, nuts and wine accessories like corkscrews and bottle openers, drip stoppers, foil cutters or whatever else you decide to add to the basket. They are available already assembled or you can create your own to add that special touch. All you need to know is the type of wine the recipient enjoys, or you can create a surprise basket.
Buying Prepared Baskets
If you’d rather buy a wine gift basket pre-packaged, stop into your local liquor store to see if they have a selection available. Good liquor stores often sell gift baskets, especially during the holiday season. You should be able to select the wine you’d like to add to the basket and then select accompanying products.
Shop Online For Wine Gift Baskets
The internet is the first place to search for customizable gift baskets. Begin by choosing a bottle or two of wine, then start adding additional products from the range of food and accessories. Complementary products could include smoked salmon and caviar, savory crackers or cheese crackers, soft or hard cheeses, cheese knives, nuts, exclusive mustards or honey … there’s no limit to what you can add to them.
The online business will then deliver the packaged gift basket to you or to the gift recipient. This is a very easy option for a corporate gift or as a thank-you to a member of your staff.
Create Your Own Gift Baskets
Creating your own wine gift basket gives allows you to add that additional personal touch. Start by buying a pretty basket. Even a simple and inexpensive basket will do because you can then decorate it with silk flowers or colored tissue paper. Buy your wine of choice or choose champagne for a special celebration, add some extra items depending on the preferences of the gift recipient. For example, it’s not necessary to limit your basket to wine and wine-themed gifts. You could include handicrafts for someone interested in arts and crafts, or a book about wine for a wine lover who is also interested in the history or the making of wine. Select some gourmet food products to accompany the wine, tuck everything into the decorated basket and wrap the whole thing in clear cellophane.
Whenever possible, personally deliver the gift basket to the reciever so you can see their joy when they receive it. If you’re lucky he or she might even share the bottle of wine with you.
For non-wine drinkers you can still assemble some stunning gift baskets. You could try a coffee-themed gift basket for a coffee lover that could include coffee mugs, freshly roasted coffee beans from different coffee-growing regions of the world, gourmet cookies, toffees and nuts. A tea drinker would appreciate a selection of teas from different regions, a teapot and strainer and a fine china teacup. A tea or coffee gift basket could be packed into a nicely decorated tray instead a basket. Again, wrap the whole package in clear cellophane and tie with a ribbon.
Ideas for gourmet gift baskets are only limited by your imagination.
