A Non-Traditional Time"Wine": Great Gift for any Wedding Occasion

Forget a timeline, let wine be your guide! 

Since I love wine, this gift was a no-brainer and was so much fun to put together! I got the idea from my friends MIL (mother-in-law) at her bridal shower! She presented the bride and groom with a wooden trunk filled with wine to be used when celebrating the couples first "firsts." For example, she used Bare Foot Champagne for their honeymoon.

When I saw this, I knew it was just what I needed to make my speech at my Sister's rehearsal dinner a hit! Visuals always help me with my presentations, both personal and professional, so a bunch of wine bottles was a great way to carry me through the speech! Plus, I knew with all the fun kinds of wines out there nowadays it would be easy to pull off! I found most of these wines at our local Binny's, however I picked up a few from a few specialty wine stores in the area.

So here goes MY list, but have fun with it and make it your own:

First Valentine's Day

First Menstrual Cycle :)

First Breakfast in Bed

First Vacation; AKA The Honeymoon

First Fight

First Birthday

First...Well we won't go there

First Baby

First Christmas

First New Year's

First Cinco de Mayo
In my case, this was "First Anniversary" because my sister got married on May 5th.

First "Make Up"

Wedding Night

First Thanksgiving

What do you think? Needless to say, the speech was a big hit and this gift truly is...
the gift that keeps on giving :)

Happy Hobbying Drinking,
