I love to give gifts that I make and that are suited perfected for the receiver. One of my favorite things to make is wine charms. You can create wine charms with any theme imaginable! Themes include winter with snowmen, wine (grapes, bottle, corkscrew), summer (bird house, sunflower), and there are hundreds of options. You can use these charms on any stemmed glassware so they can also be made for people who do not drink. They look beautiful around a glass of ice tea or any mocktail.
I have used these on my champagne glasses at every holiday for the past sixteen years for our momosas and the OJ for the kids and those who don’t drink. We now have specific charms for each person in the family. We know Mema will get the angel, Nonni the birdhouse, Zia the sunflower, and so on.
You can make these fairly cheap and if you add a couple glasses and a bottle of wine, you can have a gift for a couple for under $20. These baskets also make great wedding shower and hostess gifts! Oh and did I mention it’s 3 steps!
