A wine gift basket can provide the ideal gift or a birthday, anniversary or other special occasion that requires a gift. They can provide elegant gifts for wine lovers and can include additional products besides wine. They could also include treats like chocolates, fruit, cheeses and nuts or wine accessories like corkscrews and bottle openers, foil cutters, drip stoppers, 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. Liquor stores will often sell wine gift baskets, especially at holiday times. You should be able to choose which wine you’d like to include in the basket and then add accompanying products.

Shop Online

The internet is a great place to order customizable gift baskets. Begin by selecting one or more bottles of wine of your choice, then start adding complementary products from the wide range available. Complementary products could include smoked salmon and caviar, savory crackers or cheese crackers, soft or hard cheeses, cheese knives, nuts, exclusive mustards or honey … the sky’s the limit when it comes to adding to them.

The online retailer will then arrange delivery the basket directly to the gift recipient. This is an easy option if you are searching for a corporate gift or as a thank-you to a staff member.

Make Your Own Gift Baskets

Making your own wine gift basket gives allows you to add that extra personal touch. Start by buying an attractive basket. A simple and inexpensive basket will do the job because you can decorate it with fabric or colored tissue paper. Buy your wine of choice or choose champagne for a special celebration, add some additional products 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 additional gourmet delights to accompany the wine, pack it all into the well-decorated basket and wrap the entire package in clear cellophane.

If you are able to, deliver the gift basket to the recipient personally so you can see their joy when they receive it. If you’re very lucky the receiver might even share the bottle of wine with you.

For those who don’t drink wine you can still assemble some stunning gift baskets. For a coffee lover you could try a themed gift basket that might include coffee mugs, single origin coffee beans from different coffee-growing areas, gourmet cookies, toffees and nuts. A tea drinker may like to receive a selection of teas from different regions, a teapot and strainer and a fine china teacup. A tea or coffee gift basket could, in fact, be packed onto a well-decorated tray instead that a basket. Again, wrap the whole package in clear cellophane and tie with a ribbon.

Let your imagination run free when creating gift baskets.
