When you think of New Year’s Eve, you probably imagine spending the night with friends or family and staying up well past midnight. When the clock strikes twelve, it’s time to raise your glass and toast the new year. The favourite drink for toasts is, of course, champagne. So, why not send champagne as a belated holiday gift?

 

Pamper a host

If you want to pamper someone you care about or simply bring a special gift to the party, a champagne basket will be absolutely perfect! Champagne hampers vary in price, so you can really shop according to your budget. It’s also important to understand that champagne hampers don’t always include champagne. Some include sparkling wine, which is similar to champagne, but usually much cheaper! If you were not able to attend the party, however, you could still send a belated holiday gift which includes a bottle of bubbly.

 

The right bottle

For some recipients, it’s worth spending a little extra and buying a bottle of real champagne. For those who don’t know enough about wine to appreciate the difference, a cheaper bottle of champagne will be more than enough to include in that belated holiday gift.

 

Shop around

Remember to shop around to find the right belated holiday gift before placing your order. Some suppliers advertise low prices but charge significantly high shipping costs. Some even advertise their prices before taxes and they may be a little more expensive than initially expected. You’ll also notice that many champagne hampers also include chocolates, fancy flutes or similar extras. This is great for those who want to make sure the recipient has something to enjoy only if he decides to pop it that same night.

 

If your belated holiday gift delivery arrives early, you will need to keep the champagne and other items in your cart in suitable condition. You want to keep them in a cool (not cold) and dry place. Do not place it near heaters or leave it in an unheated area of ​​the house (such as the garage). Keep pets or small children away from the hamper, and when transporting the hamper, it’s also a good idea to place it away from any open vents.
