Oh yeah, we're approaching Christmas season again! The 'BER' months always get me excited and happy and nostalgic all at the same time. If you've read my gift posts from last year, you'd know that in Philippines, we start our Christmas shopping early. Malls will be in holiday mood and decoration with Christmas trees, tinsels and other shiny things. Oooohhhh I just love Christmas season!
It's the time of the year when I start sharing about gift ideas. These include gifts that I'd consider shopping for my loved ones and other ideas that I think would be great for you, too. Isn't it exciting yet sometimes challenging to look for gifts? So here I am to share some thoughts with you.
First on my list are yummy wine gifts. This kind of gift is more for the unconventional and for those who want to give the gift of experience or fine taste. If your loved one or friend is someone who enjoys really good food, someone who enjoys fine dining and other luxuries in life, wine would be a great choice as this gives them an experience from a bottle (or two). Imagine giving them a bottle of a wonderful French Sauvignon Blanc. It would be like giving them the experience of the beautiful country of France with every sip of that white wine from their glass. Wines are also a great accompaniment to the merriment of dining, making food talk even more enjoyable with the sparkle of wines.
Wines also make a professional and premium gift for clients, for customers and for bosses. Of course, you need to gauge if your recipients do enjoy wine (but hey, who would throw a bottle of wine?). Some would have specific preference, maybe red wine versus white wine versus sparkling. And those who have been enjoying wines longer would probably have very specific likes, maybe Malbec or Shiraz or Chardonnay or Cava. Some would even want wines only from France or Australia. But whatever their preferences are, giving them wines as gifts will definitely give you a touch of class and elegance. They'll be impressed with your gift choice.
