Special Occasion Wine Gifts

Special occasions are often categorized as events that have a certain special significance in a person's life, be it a wedding, an engagement, a christening or Christmas day. Other events that can be seen as special occasions, despite the fact that very few people might even consider them as part of the list, are job promotions, the closing of a huge account at work or even a company's anniversary or even a merger. Whatever the special occasion may be, the giving of wine and wine inspired items as gifts are often viewed as an elegant present or giveaway for such happenings.

Take for example, your wedding anniversary. You can easily go the usual route of flowers, chocolates, and dinner for two. If you want to do something extra special, a beautiful added touch would probably be to get you and your better half an overnight stay at a fancy hotel or even a night alone at home will do nicely. Sprinkle the bed with rose petals and fire up the fireplace as you impress her with a bottle of her favorite champagne or wine with the inclusion in the beautiful gift box of a dozen luscious Belgian chocolates. How's that for a romantic gift?

Another wonderful idea for special occasion wine gifts would be to have a bottle of lovely champagne or your favorite red wine served up to your guests at your reception with the labels specially printed to commemorate the day. Miniature bottles of the same wine served at the occasion can be given away to guests before they depart as a memento to help them remember your special day. These little bottles can be personalized as well with the names of the couple along with the wedding date and special message printed on specially created labels so that your guests will remember when you and your beloved tied the knot and what wine was served on that momentous day. These miniature bottles may be packaged in a special gift box along with a few yummy chocolates to make it a truly unique package for your wedding guests. How is that for a classy wedding giveaway?

One brilliant idea to impress the board members at a merger party or a company business party would be to hand out quality wines to these select people with the labels specially printed to show the date of the merger or anniversary and the company name or names, as the case may be. These will definitely impress the higher ups if you remember to personalize each bottle or bottles with a name tag bearing their name and position in the company on a chain around the bottle's neck. This kind of a giveaway could also be given out to those people who are part of your company's annual promotion list with their name printed out on the label along with their new designation.

During company Christmas parties, a lovely bottle of wine will be very well received by your employees as part of their Christmas bonus. Another option would be to hand out wine gift certificates to top performers of the year during your annual Christmas shindig. This would assure that your office staff will indeed have some bubbly on hand when they get to celebrate the Yuletide season in their homes.

Another lovely wine gift would be one that you might give to your parents on their birthday or on their wedding anniversary. A wine tower is a big gift that includes several boxes of items in different sizes that form a pyramid of gift boxes. The items in each of these boxes complement the wine that is found in the bottom largest box. These boxes may include fruits that go well with the selected drink, chocolates and of course other things that may go well with the wine. These may include nuts, biscuits, cheese and even lovely scented candles that can be used to set the mood when the wine is consumed along with their other accompaniments.

A simple way to dress up wine gifts for special occasions would be to wrap them up in wrappers that depict the occasion the gift is for. If you are giving a wine gift for a golden wedding anniversary, wrapping the bottle of wine or champagne in golden wrapper with a golden ribbon and maybe a golden bell around the bottle's neck would look very lovely. Another possible occasion that you can use this simple yet effective gift would be for an engagement party with a wrapper that could whimsically show handcuffs and wedding bouquets on it. An optional miniature handcuff could also be hung around the bottle's neck along with a small sprig of flowers to complete the effect. Let's just hope the couple receiving this gift has a sense of humor and gets a kick out of your funny yet beautiful gift.

Whatever the special occasion may be, a lovely bottle of wine dressed up nicely alone or with other add-ons is a wonderful gift that will definitely be appreciated.
