Romantic gift giving occasions occur throughout the year. Anniversaries, weddings, engagements and Valentine's Day come immediately to mind. Champagne is the traditional beverage for lovers, making a champagne gift basket a natural to mark any of these events. Such a gift is almost universally appreciated and makes a thoughtful and elegant surprise for your lucky couple.
If you're not well versed on the subject of this finest of wines, a visit to your local wine shop will get you up to speed. Dom Perignon is at the top of the class, but is quite pricey! If your budget cannot sustain a purchase of this paragon of champagnes, you have a number of other choices which will fill the bill admirably. Your wine merchant can clue you in on brands and vintages that are more affordable and still of superior quality. Any champagne of a good vintage from the Champagne region of France is bound to be a hit. There are also some superior champagnes, grown from grapes of the Champagne region, available from Napa & Sonoma Valley vintners.
The most important characteristic of a champagne gift basket is the profusion of romance. A cheap champagne simply won't do for any champagne gift basket. As with wine, a poor quality won't make the cut. Buy the best quality that you can afford.
Of course, you'll need a basket into which to slip that bottle of champagne. Your wine merchant should have a considerable collection from which to choose. Some offer custom decorations to suit the occasion. If not, you can decorate the basket as you choose, personalized for your recipients. Party stores provide lots of inspiration.
So what else should you consider for the contents of your champagne gift basket? Think love and romance! Ah, chocolate comes to mind. A box of Godiva? This chocolate is a household name, but again, pricey. Europeans are surely the champions of exquisite chocolates. France, Belgium and Italy have chocolates to die for! Try Googling 'chocolate lists'. Believe it or not, there are websites devoted to chocolates from around the world, with detailed information on production techniques and ratings as to quality. While Godiva is a leading chocolate confection producer, there are many comparable products produced around the world.
What else? Champagne glasses, of course! Ordinary glasses won't do here. Look for something special. You'll probably find the greatest variety online. A Google image search on champagne glasses produces the quickest results. Again, buy the best you can afford. The memories will last a lifetime.
Hey, you're all set! Your champagne gift basket is complete. The lucky recipients of your champagne gift basket will surely make the most of the evening. I dare say you wouldn't mind receiving such a gift. Romance is in the air!
