When you hear the term wine gift basket you may have visions of this basket with a bottle of wine in it. The truth is that when people say wine gift basket they don’t necessarily mean straw basket. Gifting has changed dramatically over the past few years and now there are seemingly endless guises of wine baskets. Here is a closer look at the alternatives you can use.
The traditional wine gift basket features an actual basket. This is usually made of straw and looks like any other run of the mill basket. These are great if you just want to add one bottle and other things like cheese or chocolate. The problem is that you can rarely add more than one bottle without making it look tacky, and this is where other designs fit in.
If you are looking to give somebody a wine basket that focuses only on wine then a crate will provide the ideal opportunity to provide them with a selection of quality wines. These crates come in different sizes so you can choose depending on how many bottles you are planning to give. Most people would opt for the three bottle approach. With this you get one bottle of white wine, one red, and one rosé. This is a safe option if you are giving a general wine gift basket.
A personalized case is a great way of changing up the way wine gift baskets are done. Instead of putting the bottle in a basket with other goodies, you can either focus only on the wine or add other things into the case. Generally people opt to put the recipient’s name or initials on the case. This is a gift that they can keep forever and use to store other special wines in future.
Nobody ever said silver buckets were reserved for champagne. This is the perfect container if the gift is for somebody who is chic and classy. The best thing to do is to buy a good quality bottle of wine and wrap a ribbon around it, and then place it in the bucket. You can use a range of things as filler, like chocolate or other great treats.
These are just some of the alternatives to wine gift baskets, but with a little imagination you can create just about anything and turn it into a success.
