Top 5 Wine Gifts
1) Wine Bottle Coaster
This customizable nautical map wine bottle coaster is handcrafted in Portland, Maine and can hold a standard wine or champagne bottle.
2) Reusable Silicone Straws
Sip away with reusable silicone straws made to help protect your smile. Drinking through a KoffieStraw side steps stains from things like coffee and tea. The BPA-free straws have an oval shape that fits into to-go cups and travel mugs and keeps the flow of hot or cold drinks to the just-right amount. The flexible straws can even be cut to suit your favorite glass, mug, or cup. Set includes a 7” straw, a 10” straw, and a cleaning brush.
3) Cupa Rocks and Coasters Set
Handblown crystal tumblers that will enhance your favorite spirit. Additional coasters fit each glass perfectly and feature a groove that keeps them stationary.
4) No-Spill Aerating Wine Glass
A spill-proof wine glass that looks as good as it is enjoyable to sip from. Each glass spins on a stainless steel ball, aerating wine—sip by sip—without spilling a drop. (It looks pretty cool, too.) Want to slow things down? Oak coasters hold a glass upright and still. Made in the USA.
5) White Round Mod Block
Historical ties to the past are evident in the undulating surfaces of our hand hewn reclaimed trivet. Each trivet is made of timber from the late 1800s, using Old World tools and techniques. Used with hot dishes as well as cold, this trivet is a must have for any table. We have added a contemporary element by adding a splash of high-gloss paint to the edges. Gently clean with soap and water. Treat with wood conditioner to preserve finish.
