Hi,
I have made up about 6 various hampers for several people in my family, but have just decided to do a wine one for a friend.:beer:

I have three bottle of red wine to put in, but was wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what else to include?

I was thinking of maybe getting some wine glasses engraved with my friends name/a message - does anyone know anywhere i can get this done either online or a shop that does engraving & nice glasses?

Any ideas about what else i could add would be much appreciated!!
Thanks in advance
Elisa

Was just looking at wine charms on Ebay, do you know anywhere else to get them, has anyone seen them in Wilkinson's or pound shop?

How about mini bottles of white? Or cheese? (not a big wine drinker but i *think* ppl eat cheese/biscuits with wine?? A wine stopper in the shape of a heart/star/bottle/christmas tree etc ?

I like the idea for the stoppers.

Does anyone know what cheeses are supposed to go with red wine? (Not a wine drinker either, so don't have a clue

)

Thanks for the ideas, they are a great help:T

fancy bottle opener? as for engraving, look on the wedding tips forum, i think there was recently a post about a discount code for free engraving for gifts.

I am doing a couple of wine hampers each with two wine glasses (each hold a bottle of wine and bought in Poundland for £1 each); two mini bottles of wine; some chocolates and a bottle stopper. They look a lot more expensive than they actually are and will all be on a bed of tinsel in baskets if I can find any. Being in a very small town I am finding it difficult tracking down any baskets (at any price never mind a reasonable price!) and I need to travel about 50 miles (100 round trip) to decent shops to find some!

Have you tried tesco's for baskets (if you have one nearby?) I saw lots of nice baskets in there today - they had a set of two for £3.98 or 3 bigger ones for £7.?? (I think)
