Wine Gift Box?

Beckety · 6 February 2007 at 11:56AM

I'm not sure if this is the right section, please move if not. A colleague is leaving on Friday and I've been volunteered to buy her leaving present! She likes her wine so we decided we could afford to get her 12 bottles with the money we'd collected. I placed an order with Tesco, but then they decided to tell me they needed it the day before the order was due so I had to cancel it and go and buy it separately :mad: My question is, where can I buy a nice gift box that will hold 12 bottles of wine as they don't look very fancy in the 'Tesco wine carriers'!

Hmmmm, can't remember seeing any (normally buy my wine online!), but have you tried off-licences, like Threshers, Victoria Wine etc?

HTH,

Suppose you could always be cheeky and try a wine merchant and if you're lucky and get a wooden box you could always decorate it with black and white photos of the lucky recipient?

Thank you, I'll try Threshers on my way home.

...just a quickie idea, why not try a cheap wine rack?...theseasidecompany.co.uk have a wine bag (holds 6 i think) although its £20 odd quid if i remember rightly....another alternative might be to use the actual box the wine comes in and cover it with wrapping paper, then simply wrap each individual bottle in a piece of tissue paper....job done! :beer:

Or get a cheap basket and wrap plastic around it - like the stuff florists use - Tied up with a big ribbon it will look fine - just leave tissue round most of the bottles and have one without to make it look nice....
