How about a fancy foil cutter? Not expensive, looks good and lots of great ones around at the moment -

or how about one of those wine cooling jackets that you keep in the freezer?

Stilton or a stronger cheddar always work well with wine - why don't you pop to the supermarket as they are selling wine gifts and you can see what they are including. Esp on the cheese front.

Could you let me know where you've seen foil cutters? Thanks.

I am going to add bags of mixed nuts, bottle opener, wine charms etc etc...

I like how you've displayed the items in the basket, and the pics of your other finished baskets look really nice. Hopefully mine will too!

I notice you've got your basket already but if anybody else is doing a wine hamper you could put everything in a wine cooler instead of a basket.

Love these ideas, I'm going to do on for my step-mum :beer:

That basket actually came from Makro, it was already a matey bubble bath gift set, that had a bottle missing so was reduced from £14.99 to £7.50 for basket, 3 bottles of matey, and some bath crayon things - using the matey as stocking fillers for the kids!!!!

They have some baskets very similar to that one in instore.

How about adding a small paperback wine guide - I am sure that you would find something of the sort in these cheap bookshops that are around - probably wouldn't cost more than a couple of quid.

PS - ON reading your signature - I have added Jake's family to my prayer list.

How about some coasters to put the wine glasses on? You could maybe even get a photo turned into some coasters. You could also get some tall thin candles to put in the empty bottles afterwards and use as candleholders, like you see in some restaurants.
