Champaign gift baskets are cool

If you know someone that would enjoy a chapagne gift basket for you have the opportunity to create a special treat. There quite a few possibilities for putting to together a memorable treat for the senses. As you start your project keep in mind the size and weight of full-size wine bottles.

Caviar, cheese and chocolates are a few naturals when it comes to creating a wine gift basket.

When choosing a basket it should be attractive and of course sturdy. Make sure that it is deep enough to avoid being too top heavy. Some sort of pretty nesting material like raffia will help cushion the bottles and other items.

As you are planning this project think of other, appropriately fun items that might enhance the presentation. Books of wine countries or bed and breakfasts are light reading. There accessoriesavailable for folks who collect wine lables and art.

Other possibilities could include a gift certificate, custom wine label, label scrapbook or magazine subscription.

If you are looking for a few more items to include take a look in the gourmet section of a food store for nice pate and crackers. For another source of inspiration look to the leaders of the gift basket business, like Harry and David, to find out what treats they are offering. A tip to remember; avoid food products that need to be refrigerated.

One of the fine things about making your own gift basket is that you can completely customize it. Don’t overlook the finishing details, like the ribbon tie that holds the plastic wrap in place - a nice opportunity to do something fancy, like a handmade gift card.
