The ultimate in unusual romantic wedding gift baskets
The ultimate in unusual romantic wedding gift baskets
If your BFF, sister or brother is tying the knot, you'll want to pull out all the stops to mark this once-only occasion. Now, while an ordinary wedding gift basket probably won't be the answer, here we have a far more unusual take on a wedding gift basket. This one sends the happy couple off with the ultimate in romance, all packed in a large Italian, pouch style, fine leather bag. On the trip home, the bag will undoubtedly be empty of the goods, but filled with happy memories that last for years to come.
The honeymoon should be spent immersed in romance, right? What better way to get things off to a sparkling start than with a split of Dom Perignon? Any wine shop that carries this mother of all champagnes will be able to provide a soft, padded bag in which to elegantly package and protect this delightful beverage.
Take a trip to your favorite upscale department store and pick up a couple of fine champagne glasses. Having them engraved with initials in gold leaf is another nice touch you might want to consider. While this wedding gift basket is costly, remember that this is the ultimate in romantic gift baskets.
While you're there, get a thermal coffee carafe and the most beautiful mugs you can find. The newly weds can then enjoy their morning coffee at any hour they please. (Most honeymoon accommodations provide a coffee maker.) Include a pound of gourmet coffee.
Order a box of Godiva chocolates, or whatever fine chocolates you prefer. Chocolate is the universal food of love. Goes great with the champagne, too, leisurely consumed between kisses.
You needn't worry too much about what the groom will want to wear on his wedding night, but including a negligee for the bride, of the Victoria's Secret caliber, is something she will certainly appreciate. Have it gift wrapped at the store. It won't take up too much room in your wedding gift basket!
Both bride and groom will be pleased with a few romantic bath items, such as scented soaps, incense and candles. A nice bottle of perfume and perhaps some body lotion are other good ideas to include in this marvelous wedding gift basket. It's all about romance.
A leather journal becomes a keepsake when filled with notes of their adventures, love poems to one another and other private thoughts. While the honeymoon is never forgotten, the day to day details of the trip tend to fade over time.
The last item in this ultimate wedding gift basket may seem odd, but it's there to be used! A disposable camera sitting in the bag is certainly an invitation to take some pictures. Many couples never think to take photos of their room. This can be a lot of fun!
Now that you've assembled the contents of your fabulous wedding gift basket, it's time to shop for the unusual 'basket'. Look for an Italian leather bag of a size sufficient to hold the contents. The large, soft, half-circle shape with a shoulder strap is perfect. Wrap everything with care and fill the bag. All the decoration you need is a white satin ribbon, tied around the shoulder strap, with two red heart shaped sachets hanging from the ribbon ends.
I would most certainly love to receive such a gift. How about you?
