One of my husband's co-workers married recently. For months leading up to the wedding day, I was completely clueless about what an appropriate gift would be. I wanted something unique that they would truly enjoy; a traditional toaster just wouldn't cut it. I wanted our gift to really demonstrate how thrilled we were for them.
I must have gone to a dozen stores and spent hours sifting through toasters, bed sheets, and bath towels. None of these items were what I was looking for. After going home and searching online, I saw many suggestions that were more what I was searching for. One person had suggested a gift basket full of chocolates, which was a nice idea, but I put my own twist on it and made it into a wine gift basket.
It was the perfect idea. Everybody loves a good bottle of wine and it sets the perfect mood for a night of romance. I used a picnic basket and purchased two wine glasses and two bottles of wine. I also included a corkscrew and charms for the glasses. While doing this I realized what is wine without cheese, so I picked up a few special cheeses and crackers.
I could not believe how simple this was to put together. You should have seen my husbands face when he saw my creation. He thought I had spent a pretty penny and bought this extravagant gift. You can imagine how surprised he was when I confessed my creative talents to him. He was ready to finance my own little shop. All the same, I was proud of my work and how little energy it actually took.
After attending the wedding my husband and I have became fast friends with the couple. They absolutely loved the gift and said it was a very nice item to take on their honeymoon with them. They hope to one day use the picnic basket to take their children on picnics in the park. I knew I loved their gift, but I never imagined how much use they would get out of it. That was just a nice surprise.
I'm planning on making more of these gifts for my friends and family. I don't want to share the news of my new creative enthusiasm, because I want them to see it first hand when I give them a gift basket. Gift baskets are very versatile gifts and quite appropriate for people of any age or life-style. My husband wants me to make him one for our next anniversary, so I'll have to be extremely creative to think of just the right surprise to add!
