Today's Gift idea: Picnic basket
Makes a good gift for: The special someone in your life, a couple, foodies or wine-lovers (whats a good picnic without wine?)
In most parts of the country, Christmas time is not the best time of the year for a picnic, but its always nice to have something to look forward to, like a nice spring picnic. You could give someone just a picnic basket itself, or a basket full of picnic-necessities.
Here is a nice basic picnic basket:
This one is vintage and has a handmade liner:
This one comes with service for four:
This one is a little fancier, a little bigger and also comes with service for four:
I have always thought these plastic wine-glasses were cool, and they would make a great addition to any picnic basket:
This weeks gift theme: gifts for wine-lovers
Gift idea: Leather Wine Carrier
Makes a good gift for: Foodies, wine-lovers
Once you become of wine-appreciating age (which, in my opinion, is different from wine-drinking age) a good bottle of wine is always a nice gift – whether it be for someone you know well, or perhaps as a host/ess gift for someone you might not know so well. Of course a bottle of wine does not need a bag or bow, but if you want to make the gift of grapes a little more fancy, why not consider a leather wine carrier like this one:
These carriers are super-swanky looking, and would be a great gift for someone who likes to bring their own wine to dinner or on picnics, or for someone who just appreciates fine leather goods. Either way, I think getting a bottle of wine in one of these leather wine carriers would be a swanky gift for the wine connoisseur (or just wannabe connoisseur) on your Christmas list.
