Summer Gift Guide Handbook
Summer is here which means barbecue season is in high gear and gatherings with friends and family are blossoming.
Sun’s out, gun’s out - a metaphor for all the wonderful attributes of sunny days and outdoor extravaganzas. Invitations to cottages, dinner parties and such multiply at this time of the year - so the thought of another wine in tote to greet your host/hostess can prove unoriginal and all too predictable.
Don’t get me wrong - wine is a lovely gift to receive. But why not change it up with something unique and personalized? Or something fun and original as a token of affection? Let’s add some spice to our gift giving arsenal because after all, variety is the inspiration igniter/conversation starter and a thoughtful gift is an impactful gift is an appreciated gift.
So we’ve compiled and inspired a list of some of our favourite host/hostess gifts that will get you through the summer one barbecue at a time!!
- For the wine ahfficiando’s - why not an elegant corkscrew - a luxury gift for the wine lovers in your life.
- A personalized bar board with a cocktail handbook or a personalized charcuterie board elegantly wrapped with a pretty ribbon - both useful and entertaining worthy
- Coffee table books are today’s show stoppers - whether it’s a favourite artist, designer, photographer - you name it. It’s the gift that can elevate a space in seconds with its stunning images. A keeper in my books - no pun intended.
- Gourmet food basket/box - customized to your liking with all the pretty trimmings such as: artisanal nuts, popcorn, biscotti, tapenades, crackers, chocolate, etc beautifully wrapped with a satin ribbon in one of our signature boxes and a handwritten notecard.
- And finally flowers - because flowers can never get old. Ever. They bring life and joy to a table, a room - really any space you can think of. Check out some of the lovely arrangements from Eve & Auburn.
Finding the perfect hostess gift doesn’t have to be daunting or even boring. Like anything, a little guidance goes a long way in opening up the creative gifting possibilities. Have your gift stand out amongst the rest of those ho-hum gifts and be that one that is always remembered.
Love,
