If you pay no less attention to the appearance of a gift than to its content, then a gift bag from a store is definitely not your story. Use the ideas from this article and turn ordinary wine or champagne into an original and memorable gift.

Paper

Paper is a classic and at the same time very versatile packaging method. You can wrap the bottle in bright gift paper or unusual newspaper, use pages from a magazine or comic book, and even print your own photos on the sheets. You can write wishes or draw a whole picture on plain paper, and add a beautiful ribbon or other decoration to the minimalist packaging.

And there are plenty of ways to wrap a bottle in paper. For example, you can:

• wrap it completely;
• wrap it halfway (top or bottom)
• make something like a vase, decorating it with flowers;
• use corrugated paper for a three-dimensional composition;
• cut the top half of the paper into strips and make a fringe with curls, etc.

Furoshiki technique

Furos And Ki (sometimes pronounced "furoshiki") is a Japanese fabric folding technique that is often used today for gift wrapping as an alternative to traditional paper. To wrap a bottle the way the Japanese do, all you need is a square piece of fabric of the appropriate size and color and a little practice. For packaging, use the following scheme:

• spread the cloth on the floor or table and place the bottle in the center;
• tie the two opposite ends into a knot over the cork;
• wrap the remaining two corners around the “body” of the bottle and tie a bow;
• if you are going to carry a bottle in this package, twist the ends of the first knot with a rope and tie another small knot to make something like a handle.

If you want to pack two bottles at once, use a larger square of fabric. The actions with it will be approximately the same as in the first case:

• place the bottles on the cloth so that there is a little space between them, and the necks point in opposite directions;
• fold one edge of the fabric under the bottles, then roll everything into a roll;
• Place the bottles vertically, lifting them by the neck, and tie a knot from the first diagram.

Furoshiki packaging is ready!

Leg-split

Simple and atmospheric packaging can be created using ordinary twine. You can wrap it around the whole bottle, part of it, or just the neck. The classic scheme looks like this:

• carefully remove the label from the bottle;
• lubricate the desired area of ​​the surface with a small amount of PVA or special decoupage glue;
• carefully wrap the glued part with twine so that there are no gaps between the rows.

If desired, you can omit the use of glue: in this case, when starting packaging, secure one end of the rope with tape on the neck, wrap the bottle tightly and then, removing the tape, tie a neat knot. If you want to make the bottle brighter, buy colored twine or paint it yourself in advance.

Wooden box

Wooden bottle boxes look very authentic: it seems that the wine was delivered straight from a French vineyard, and the non-disposable packaging will become a real decoration for any bar. Of course, if you have woodworking skills, you can make such a case yourself, but, as a rule, it is easier to buy one. But engraving will help make the gift more personal: according to your order, the craftsmen will put the name of the recipient, the date or name of the holiday, and even a small congratulation on the box.

Case

Your own unnecessary items can also be used as packaging material. For example, you can make an original and cozy cover from the sleeve of a sweater or knitted cardigan. For this:

1. Wash and dry the item, then place the bottle in the sleeve so that the neck is in the cuff;
2. Cut off the sleeve under the bottom of the bottle, leaving a few centimeters of margin;
3. The bottom of the cover can be made from thick fabric, craft paper or from the sleeve itself, pulling the edges of the cut part towards the center;
4. To prevent the knitting from unraveling, hem the yarn with thread just in case;
5. Decorate the top of the case at your discretion: tie it with a ribbon, add beads, buttons or a card with congratulations.

Alcohol continues to be a frequent and quite desirable gift, here are a few ideas on how to make such a gift also original.

Play on the qualities of alcohol, for example, giving young, moderate and mature wine with the wish to enjoy each age and year or stage of life of the company. There is a ready-made set with faces, or you can make your own labels/tags with text for any bottles.

My years are my wealth. The year of birth of the gift recipient - this year's Armagnac, a personalized label in honor of the birth of a child and an offer to open this bottle of whiskey in 18 years with his now adult son, the wine of the year the collaboration began, etc.

Alcohol with a legendary history.

For example, this is the story of Madera: “According to legend, there were barrels of wine in the holds and on the deck of one of the Portuguese ships during the voyage to India. Due to the calm, the ship was stuck for a long time in equatorial latitudes, and the unsold wine had to be taken back to Europe, so it was exposed to high air temperatures and pitching for a long time. At the end of the journey, it significantly changed its initial taste and aroma, acquiring shades of roasted nuts and caramel in its bouquet, thanks to which it became popular all over the world."

Pisco grape vodka. The drink was created in the 16th century by Spanish settlers. Produced in Chile and Peru from muscat grape varieties. The name “pisco” itself, translated from the dialect of the Mapuche Indians, means “flying bird”, and a beautiful legend is associated with its appearance. A team of brave sailors on a boat made of reeds set sail to find the mysterious island "Te Pite o Te Henua", considered the center of the Earth. At first, their search had no result, and when the sailors had already despaired and resigned themselves to their inevitable death, a pisco bird appeared in the sky, which showed the dying people the right path.

Here the wish will be “May the bird of happiness always accompany you!”

Add a themed item or play on a famous phrase, for example, the volume of Omar Khayyam and his famous “Truth in Wine”. “May the truth always be revealed to you!”

Literature. The author's book and his favorite drink. A bottle of rum with Hemingway's book "A Holiday That Is Always With You" because... The author's favorite drink is the Daiquiri cocktail with rum.

Or our customers’ favorite gift “Dandelion Wine” - a Bradbury book with dandelion jam and wine in a box of hay. Dates, events and the future.

For example, for a wedding we came up with the following gift: a box with 3 bottles, which are invited to open on anniversaries and write a forecast for the next year, which is opened along with the bottle. In the case of business, instead of anniversaries there may be the signing of a cooperation agreement, the delivery of the first object and the completion of a project. Play around with the bottle stand.
