Top 5 Wine Gifts
1) 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.
2) Wine Sulfite Purifier & Aerator
The Üllo wine purifier targets sulfites that can potentially cause unwanted side effects (for you) and alter taste (for your wine). Sulfites work as a preservative to keep wine fresh until the cork is popped. They can cause things like a stuffy nose for some people and even affect a wine’s flavor. Just pour a glass (or bottle) of wine through the sulfite capture filter and enjoy. Wine is now in its purest, preservative-free form. If you’re sipping a red, the filter can serve as an aerator, too.
3) Patterned Hand Towel
Coast & Cotton: Patterned Hand Towel - Beer Glasses
4) 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.
5) Wine Glass Shades
Vellum lamp shades that convert wine glasses into elevated votives. For use with standard size wine glasses. Made in USA.
