A bottle of wine or sparkling cider has long been known as the perfect hostess gift. Take this a step further and present the newlyweds with a gift celebrating milestones. Add a little Garnish by dressing it up and presenting it in a unique and creative way. Just like that, the ordinary is extraordinary!

This is an idea you will find yourself using over and over.

• Dress up Garnish's wine box to fit the occasion or your mood.
• Create a wedding gift that will be enjoyed for years to come.  Choose several bottles of wine to be opened on the couple's first, fifth, and 10th anniversary (or as many as you choose!)  Use our kraft paper sheets to create a paper sleeve for the bottle with a personal message. We used letter stickers found in the scrapbook section of the craft store to garnish our boxes.

Here are a few selections of wines that will age perfectly for this gift idea:

• Giacomo Ascheri's Barolo from Italy for the 5th year anniversary and a bottle of Chapoutier's "La Bernadine" Chaeteauneuf du Pape for the 10th anniversary.  For the first anniversary, why not a bottle of Moet and Chandon Brut Rose.
• A flavorful European fruit soda placed inside the wine box makes a lovely hostess gift.
• Wine tastings are a hot trend.  Disguise the bottles with some kraft paper and send your guests home with a bottle from the evening packaged in a box. 
• Make a label using our stick 'em up labels.
• If the bottle is from a group of people, consider having everyone sign the box itself.

You will never look at a "box of wine" the same way again!
