Give a gift that incorporates the recipient's love of wine.
A 40th birthday is coming up soon for a friend, sibling, coworker, parent or spouse, and you're trying to think of a good gift. If he or she is fond of wine, give a gift that incorporates this hobby in a creative and unique way. Try a wine label gift idea.
Making Memories
Remove and frame wine bottle labels.
Turn wine labels into souvenirs. Collect labels from a very fancy or expensive bottle, or from some wine that you had on a trip to France, or from the first bottle popped at a wedding reception, housewarming or graduation. Then have them framed. Hanging on the wall, they will serve not only as art but also as pleasant reminders of the occasion. If you find that removing a label from a wine bottle is difficult to do without damaging it, buy a wine label remover, check with the manufacturer to see if the label can be sent to you or take a digital picture of the label.
Laughable Label
Fine a wine with a funny name.
Spend some time looking in package stores, grocery stores and online for wines with funny labels. There's Oops, Elephant on a Tightrope, Dead Arm, Frog's Piss, What the Dickens, Footbolt, Santa's Reserve, Sinister Hand, Vampire Merlot and Blasted Church, just to name a few. Or, make the gift even more comical by giving wine with a name that seemingly refers to the birthday boy or girl: Little Miss Dangerous, Fat Bastard, Middle Sister, Bitch, Arrogant or Mad Housewife.
Just for Them
A personalized bottle of wine is a fun gift idea.
Another fun gift idea is giving the person his or her very own wine bottle. There are several companies online that allow you to design custom wine labels. They have a wide selection of label designs available for you to choose from, and you can add other details such as the date of the recipient's 40th birthday, name and the occasion. You can order only the personalized label or have it put on a bottle of wine.
