This is for my Aunt and Uncle,so far i have a bottle of Champers 1 lrge box chocs and 2 smaller boxes of choc truffles.Will also get a couple of Champagne flutes and probably add a smelly candle but it still looks a bit bland.Do any of you clever folks have any ideas what else i could add:confused: Was thinking maybe a couple of bath robes but not sure

  • Wilkinsons have these champagne flutes which are quite pretty for £4.99 which I thought was pretty reasonable.

    Bathrobes would look nice I think primark do some reasonable priced ones.

    Can you find some bubble bath thats in a novelty champagne bottle?

    you could buy a champagne box and fill it with chocolates, and nibbles....

    what about a cheepy champagne chiller/cooler of ebay?

    I have done Champagne/choc/glasses gift before but instead of putting them in basket , put them on a gold charger plate with maybe some double sided sticky tape ,with a sprinkling of scatter confetti and wrapped in cello .

    looked really expensive

    Poetry book or audio book, CD, dried rose petals or lavender bag, wheat bags, bubble bath or bath bombs or aromatheraphy oils. You could get floating candles and pack the whole thing in a bowl too.

  • What about a nice decorative photo frame with a photo of the two of them, makes it a bit more personal.
