Wine lovers are easy to pick out: they’re the ones who have bottle after different bottle, a cupboard full of wine accessories, gifts related to wine under the Christmas tree, and one of those corkscrews that’s shaped like a rabbit head. If you’re looking to make a wine lover happy by giving them some wine accessories, gifts of that nature can be hard to find if you don’t know what to look for.
The most important quality than any such presents could have is quality — a foil-cap-cutter that’s made of plastic and aluminum might be cute and it’ll work for a while, but it won’t last. Of course, they also have to LOOK like quality wine accessories. Gifts that look cheap don’t get a positive response, even if they work like a charm.
Whether it’s a bottle of wine or set of wine accessories, gifts also have to be presented nicely in order to have the proper impact. A fancy box will make whatever’s in it more enticing and attractive; just make sure that if you’re giving a bottle, it’s wrapped in a way that will keep it from banging around inside the box. The classiest way to accomplish this is to get a block of foam rubber the same size as the box and cut out gaps for the bottle and any other wine accessories gifts that you’re giving alongside it.
Of course, a pretty box isn’t always enough — but there are a few other fairly simple ways to further class up your present. One excellent way to turn some ordinary wine-and-wine accessories gifts into presents with some meaning to them is to get them engraved. Corkscrews, red wine aerators, and even wine chillers can be engraved either directly on the item or, in the case of something like a wine rack, on a small plaque that gets attached to the item. You can also get engraved glasses, bottle stoppers, and even little monogrammed ‘glass bracelets’ designed to help you keep track of whose glass belongs to whom.
Another simple way to add a sense of elegance to wine or wine accessories: gifts always look better en masse. Get together with another giver or two and put your finances together to create a gift basket full of top quality wine and a variety of wine accessories. Gifts like these inevitably have a greater visual and emotional impact that receiving several small or minor gifts in a row.
All told, the difficult part is not finding the wines and wine accessories; gifts are a challenge because it’s hard to make them personal, not hard to find something to buy. So concentrate your efforts more on making what your present hit home, not specifically on what to buy or how much to spend. Alternately, if you ARE completely stuck on what to buy, go to a high quality gifts site like A Creative Expression where you can browse through hundreds of gift ideas until you’re inspired by exactly the right item. Filled with the vino and plenty gifts of wine accessories, gifts are always easier with A Creative Expression.
