Help regarding wine/gifts

[Deleted]

I'm working on a thank you gift for the friend who let me stay at her place with Buddy for a few weeks. What kind of stuff would you put in a gift basket w/ a few bottles of wine? I guess it could be related to wine or not. Just looking for some fun and creative ideas.

Some charms for wine glasses? Some cheese, crackers, and chocolate (things you could eat with the wine)?

An aerator.

An aerator is a good idea. Also things to eat while drinking wine sounds nice too.

Agree with PP. Fancy cheeses/crackers/goodies sounds good!

I agree with the cheese and crackers idea. And maybe some specific things that you know she likes to snack on? Popcorn? Fancy cookies?

CHOCOLATE!!!

If you want to be really fancy, you could get a wine and chocolate pairing kit like this one:

Does she have a Vacu Vin? Those are handy. Or a champagne stopper? Wine charms are always helpful. Or fancy wine glasses from Riedel that are meant to go with the kind of wine that you put in the basket? A nice carafe would be another option. And aerator, like PPs suggested. Trying to think what other wine-themed gadgets we have.... Maybe some cork artwork? Like a cork monogram?

Mmmmm...cheese.

Oh! Does she like to read?
I really enjoyed reading this book:

The Billionaire's Vinegar

This thread made me buy a bottle of wine at lunch today.
