wine hamper ideas

Hi there,

A friend gave me a great idea for a Christmas present for my folks & in-laws, she suggested making up a wine box by buying a bottle of wine each week with my weekly shop & putting aside - fab, just wondering if anyone has any ideas of other things to include, I was thinking maybe a couple of wine glasses & a bottle stopper anything else ??

many thanks

  • Thats a great idea, how about adding a book about wine tasting?? or those little wine glass charms you can get, if you're feeling creative maybe you could try making some yourself?

    Buy a couple of wine glasses and a kit of cheap glass paints and make them personalised by adding pics of their favourite things/hobbies

    Or my fave, make up a little mulled wine kit perfect for long winter nights!

    Just a few ideas there sure I'll think of a few more! :D

    How about closer to the time making up a small cheeseboard to go with it as well.
    M & S do a really nice one in the dine in for £10 offer and its already boxed
    plus you could either make or buy some chutney or chilli jam to go with the cheese.

    Corkscrew, foil cutter (we've got one of these & it's so useful). Wine cooler & wine warmer. Wine stoppers which seal the bottle to keep the wine fresh. Drip catcher. You could try to get a red, white & rose wine all from the same country.
