Special occasions like anniversaries or birthdays that require the giving of a gift are ideal times to consider a wine gift basket. They can provide delightful gifts for wine lovers and can include many other products besides wine. They may also include such delights as fruit, nuts, candy, cheeses and wine accessories like bottle openers and corkscrews, drip stoppers and foil cutters or whatever else you think the recipient may enjoy. You can buy them already assembled or you can make your own for a very special gift-giving touch. All you need to understand is the type of wine the recipient enjoys, or you can create a special 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. Liquor stores will often sell wine gift baskets, especially at holiday times. You should be able to select the wine you’d like to add to the basket and then select accompanying products.

Shop Online

The internet is a great place to order 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 organization then delivers the gift basket to you or straight 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.

Make Your Own Gift Baskets

Making your own wine gift basket gives allows you to add that extra personal touch. Begin by purchasing an attractive basket. You only need a simple inexpensive basket because you can then decorate it yourself with colored tissue paper, fabric or silk flowers. Start by choosing your wine – or champagne for a special celebration – add some other items depending on the taste of the gift receiver. For example, it is not necessary to limit your basket to wine and wine accessory 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 delights to accompany the wine, pack everything into the decorated basket and wrap it all up in clear cellophane.

If possible, personally deliver the gift basket to the recipient so you can see the joy when they receive it. If you’re very lucky they may share the bottle of wine with you.

For non-wine drinkers you can still assemble some stunning gift baskets. For a coffee drinker you could try a coffee-themed gift basket that could include coffee mugs, freshly roasted coffee beans from different coffee-growing regions of the world, gourmet cookies, toffees and, nuts. A tea lover would probably enjoy a range of teas from different regions, together with 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. And again, you can wrap the whole package in clear cellophane and add a bow.

There is no limit to what you can create in the way of a gift basket.
