Last month one of my husband's close business associates got married. For two months before the joyous event I stressed out about what to get them. I racked my brain for an original, unique item that would be a delightful surprise. I wanted our gift to them to represent how happy we were for them.

After going over their registry, and driving from store to store looking at bed sheets, bath towels and tableware, I knew none of these items were right. Then I turned to online shopping, where I found suggestions that were closer, but not quite right. One website suggested a gift basket full of chocolates, and I decided to put my own twist on it and created a one-of-a-kind wine gift basket.

I felt it was the perfect gift for them. I knew they enjoyed good wines, and I thought this would set the perfect mood for romance. It seemed wonderful for a pair of newlyweds! I used a picnic basket and added everything they would need for a nice wine and cheese tasting: two bottles of wine, a pair of wine glasses and charms, a corkscrew and some gourmet cheeses and crackers.

It was hard to believe how simply this gift basket came together. When my husband saw the gift, he was charmingly shocked that I had all this hidden talent and he said he was ready to finance my first gift shop! I was very proud of my work and happy about the low level of energy needed to make such a creative gift.

After attending the wedding my husband and I have became fast friends with the couple. They absolutely loved the gift and said it was a very nice item to take on their honeymoon with them. They hope to one day use the picnic basket to take their children on picnics in the park. I knew I loved their gift, but I never imagined how much use they would get out of it. That was just a nice surprise.

I can't wait to be able to make more of these for my family and friends. I do not want to tell anybody about my new found love because I hope to surprise them with their own. They are so versatile that they are perfect for any adult at any stage of their live. My husband said he wants one for our next anniversary. I will have to think of something extra to add so that he is surprised. Maybe tickets to a show we can see before our picnic would be a nice addition.
