Creating a Champagne Celebration Gift Basket

Why do people break out the bubbly? It could be a celebration, a romantic rendezvous, or a “just because” moment. In any event, champagne makes a great gift basket idea for these sorts of occasions.

First, the basket needs to be sturdy enough to handle several bottles of alcohol. The last thing we want is a basket that peels away under the weight and leaves several bottles of good champagne in a broken pile on the floor. Choose something made of tightly woven wicker material.

Does this person have a favorite kind of champagne? If they do, include a bottle or two in the basket. That’s not all. Give them a few new varieties to try. It is a special occasion so they may want to share the new bottles with others attending the celebration and hide the favorites to be enjoyed later.

Decorating the basket requires that we only think of the things that go well with champagne. Any art gallery will have paintings that display at least one feast where everyone drinks and eats to their hearts content. What are they eating? Probably, they are enjoying some sort of fruit like a bunch of grapes.

Fruits like grapes and strawberries go well with champagne. Strawberries bring out the finer flavor of the champagne. Any home décor store will have plastic fruit you can purchase to hang around the basket.

If this is a romantic occasion, instead of tissue paper in the bottom of the basket, cover it with a folded blanket or small throw. Once the contents of the basket are removed, both of you can sit comfortably on the blanket and share a glass.

In addition to the champagne, include some food items. Eating food, while sampling champagne, keeps it from going straight to your head. How about some cheese, strawberries, and, of course, grapes? To keep the process of eating simple, include a wooden cheese cutting board and a cheese knife.

Be careful when adding food to any basket. Let it be the last thing to go in the basket and wrap it to prevent spoiling until the basket can be opened. Unless they will be eaten right away, perishables can be stored in the fridge. Providing a decorative bowl or container to hold the fruit is a nice touch.

Champagne is a drink of celebration. Make a great showing with a gift basket that showcases your bubbly.
