Gift wrap etc

I have come across several great ideas on pintrest for gifts but haven't really had a chance to do many of them. This one for a wedding gift turned out really cute I think.


I did 6 'firsts' and a bottle of wine for each. I found several cute wine caddies/baskets but they only held 4 bottles of wine and I wanted to do a slightly larger gift for these friends. So the holder is just the cardboard ones they have at HEB, Pinkies, Specs etc. I spray painted it gold and sliver; added big raffia bows and tags to the bottles, gold matte tissue and voila! The 6 firsts I did and wines are below.

First Baby (Sparkling Rose)
First Anniversary (Chardonnay)
First Christmas Eve (Shiraz)
First New Years (Champagne)
First Fight (Pinot Grigio)
First Dinner Party (Merlot)

These are pretty basic wines, and my one regret. I did the tags before I went to the store - once I got there I found some unique wines that would have been fun. In the end it was great and I was able to find quality wines. Plus it was fun to be in the wine section again this hiatus. There are one or two that I found that will be on my list as soon as the baby comes.




Speaking of babies - I came across this burlap ribbon and loved the color. So far all I have used it for is this baby gift.
