Stop panicking, I'm here to help you get the perfect gift for the wine lover in your life. Sometimes, it can feel like people that have a certain hobby, be it wood working or gardening, must have everything they already need for their specific niche. You don't want to repeat anything they have and you also don't want to get them anything they would think is cheesy or unnecessary.
I'm here for you, at least for this one hobby.
People that love wine can fall into two categories. I'll show these two types in two separate blog posts so you'll have to check back for the next one!
Serious Wine Connoisseurs
People can be very serious about their wine. They take their time to curate the most exclusive, the most expensive, the most sought after wines around the world. They might even have the best wine glasses to go with them. But even the most sophisticated wine snob is missing something from this list, and you can be their hero this Christmas!
Vintage Wine Glasses
Although they may already have their perfect wine glasses, sometimes it's nice to have pretty ones as an alternative.
These amber goblets are beautiful and match nicely with multiple color palettes.
These multicolored glasses are both classy and beautiful. Win-win!
This set would be such a gorgeous addition to a feminine kitchen
Bottle Stoppers
Some people open one bottle and drink it until it's gone, some people have several open, depending on what they're eating for dinner that night. Whatever the case, most wine lovers have a bottle open and need a stopper to keep it fresh. Why not get them a beautiful set to have on hand? This gift is double awesome because it is both beautiful AND functional. Score.
This batch from Etsy is so pretty
I mean, how much more classic can you get than with these??
The real takeaway with these novelty gifts are that, you need to know your audience. If they have a thing for the arts, the stoppers above are the perfect fit for them. If they live by the beach and love a good theme, these would fit in nicely without being too kitschy.
If they are into planet health, or enjoy the occasional African Safari, try a fun animal stopper like these.
HINT: If this is for a person that isn't in your immediate circle but you still want to get them something nice, you could purchase them in bulk and then give one to them each Christmas for a few years so they feel like they're collecting a set and you aren't spending an arm and a leg each year.
Tea Towels
People need towels. Even the fanciest person that you know as accidents and spills. Why not give them something beautiful to cover up those spills? These tea towels will do the trick!
This tea towel is aesthetically pleasing as well as useful. The merlot color adds to the sweet effect. Wrap up a wine from my other post in this towel and some twine and you've just become their favorite person.
This is a beautiful towel that can be put on display even when not in use. Birds are universally classic and this sweet print matches several design styles.
Wine Carafe
There is just something so chic about aerating a bottle of wine in an elegant carafe. Not everyone does it and not everyone can. It's a luxury, for sure. It takes both time and money. Let them show off their newest French acquisition in a stylish way that will remind them of you every time they use it.
This one is a favorite. Get it for your new client that helped pay for this year's family vacation.
If your friend is into Danish mid century style, this one from Hay is perfect. It is subtle without being boring.
Honestly, you don't even have to spend a lot of money your gift. Ikea has really stepped up their game in the serveware department. This carafe is so pretty and doesn't look like it came from a box store at all.
Of course, the classic style will always win out for me. Its shape is perfect for its purpose and will never go out of style.
If you got all the way to the end, thank you! I hope you have a great time shopping for these special people in your life. The whole point of gift giving is to show the other person you really love and know them. Instead of just buying the first thing off their wishlist, really take the time to know this person. You're spending your hard earned money on them, they are obviously worth this extra effort.
(Also, grab a few things off this list for yourself while you're at it)
