Wedding season is upon us and a crucial part for the bridal party and guests is to pick a special gift for the love birds. These days, many couples are living together before they tie the knot, which means there’s less demand for traditional wedding gifts like cutlery and dinner sets. Instead, gifting the couple with a unique experience that they’ll cherish forever is truly the way to go.
Gift a Wine Occasion
If you’re looking for a gift for a couple that already has everything (probably because they’ve been living together a few years and have collected all the household items they need) then gifting them an experience can be much more memorable? Consider creating a unique and romantic wine occasion for the to-be newlyweds. We’ve come up with a few occasions, so you don’t have to.
- Movie Night: Grab the couple a Date Night Occasion pack and suggest a romantic movie night with blankets, pillows, and snacks! Consider adding some of their favourite films and snacks to personalize the gift.
- Weekend Getaway: Gift the newlyweds with 2 Occasion packs of your choosing. We suggest the Best of BC Reds and Whites for a good variety to last a few days. These boxes are perfect to grab and go for a weekend getaway – they’ll need it after all the extensive wedding planning!
- BBQ in the Park: You’ve heard of a picnic in the park, but what about a barbecue? Get a BBQ Occasion pack if the couple loves to be outdoors. They’ll thoroughly enjoy a park date on a nice, sunny day with wines that pair great with BBQed meats. Who knows, maybe they’ll be gifted a portable barbecue if they don’t already own one! If not, this occasion can easily be tweaked to an at-home BBQ occasion!
Wine Club Gift Subscription
We all know that a wine gift subscription is the gift that keeps on giving, but how is it an “experience” you might ask? When gifting a monthly wine bundle, the couple will get to try hard-to-find, premium wines from BC and around the world every month. They’ll get access to the Sommelier-led Virtual Wine Tastings where they’ll learn about the wines, master how to taste them, plus meet other wine lovers alike! These fun-filled, interactive events are exclusive to members and will truly enhance their wine tasting experience!
If the couple enjoys drinking wine leisurely, choose the Weekday Warrior Gift Subscription – perfect for all occasions. If they are more adventurous and like trying unique wines, tantalize their palates with the Adventurer Gift Subscription.
