June 16, 2013 | By More

Whether if it’s Valentine’s Day or not, you want to show how much you love your significant other and make the day special for him or her. Now, what can be more romantic than spending the entire evening enjoying a bottle of delicious wine and chocolates with your loved one?

For this reason alone, you may want to consider surprising your significant other with a wine gift basket. With this kind of gift, you can never go wrong. It will be a gift that will be appreciated by your loved one and it will also be something that he or she will remember for a very long time.

So, just how do you create a wine gift basket?

If you don’t have any idea to create a wine gift basket, here are some ideas that can help you get started and truly create a wine gift basket that your significant other will truly appreciate.

First of all, you have to choose the gift basket. Today, there are quite a lot of shops that offer gift baskets for sale. Some gift baskets are already decorated, while there are others that you can decorate yourself. If you are not really that creative, you can go for the one that is already decorated. Just make sure that the gift basket you choose is decorated with a romantic theme. And, you also need to make sure that it’s big enough to put a bottle of wine in it.

If you want to be more creative and create a unique romantic wine gift basket, then you can simply decorate a basket with ribbons, dining napkins, and roses.

Now that you have a gift basket ready, the next step is to choose the wine you have to put in the gift basket. Make sure that you don’t buy a cheap wine that will not taste good and one that will not really be appreciated when drank. To be on the safe side, you may want to go for a mid-range bottle of wine. This may cost you a little more money but it will taste better than cheap bottles of wine.

You should also get a couple of wine glasses. This will indicate that you want to spend the evening with your significant other enjoying the gift basket. Along with the wine glasses, you also have to have a wine bottle opener or a corkscrew.

Lastly, you should get some treats in the basket. Besides, it wouldn’t really be a gift basket with only the wine and the wine glasses inside the gift basket. For the treats, go for fine chocolates. An example would be a couple of boxes of fine Belgian chocolate truffles. To be sure of your chocolate of choice, ask the winery clerk what kind of chocolate goes well with the wine bottle you choose. They will be able to tell you if the bottle of wine you chose goes well with dark chocolates or if it’s better with milk or creamy chocolates.

As everybody knows, chocolates and wines go well together. And, they are also considered to be aphrodisiac, which will make the evening more special and more romantic.

Remember these tips and you can be sure that you will be able to create a wine gift basket that you and your significant other will truly enjoy. With it, you will be able to turn a seemingly normal evening in to a romantic and passion filled night.
