Making a List
Gift-giving ideas for the season
the season to celebrate,
and this year party planners
’Tis
recommend their favourite
wine and spirits gift ideas.
For the host/hostess
For an elegant affair, bring your
host a bottle of Mumm Cuvee Napa
sparkling wine paired with a wheel of
Brie or some delicate French pastries.
For trendy urbanites, look for a
retro cocktail shaker and a bar tray
online at sites such as eBay.ca,and pair
them with a bottle of Polar Ice Vodka
wrapped with a white and gold bow.
Are your hosts going on vacation
this winter? Get them in the mood
now with a tropical package containing
Malibu Rum, pineapple juice, fresh
bananas and some sunscreen — you’ll
be their favourite guest.
For the New Year’s fête, do your
part to uplift the mood by bringing
your host a bubbly bottle of Mumm
Cordon Rouge wrapped up with a bottle
of bubbles to blow when the clock
strikes midnight.
For colleagues
Because it’s not all business come
holiday time, thank your boss or colleague
with a decadent gift such as a
Courvoisier Cognac or a Canadian
Club Reserve gift pack, which
includes two glasses and offers the
perfect solution for those looking for a
last minute gift.
For those in your office who can’t
seem to get enough of their morning
coffee, wish them a happy holiday
with a gift tin of Kahlua and a package
of freshly roasted gourmet coffee.

For family, friends
and loved ones
For those celebrating their first
Christmas as a married couple, consider
giving an elegant Perrier Jouet gift
box, which comes with two handpainted
champagne flutes in a keepsake
box lined with satin.
Visiting your in-laws? A bottle of
Cockburn’s Port with an antique serving
spoon and a recipe for portsoaked
apples is a delicious way to say
happy holidays.
When you’re running late, consider
one of the many gift packs out
there, such as Frangelico, or
Carolans, which come packaged with
two distinctive glasses and provide a
simple solution to the “what to give”
conundrum.
