    Could you just buy a normal gift box from the Reject Shop and put some tissue paper around them to make it look nice inside??? Cheapish too?
    This sounds like a great idea.

    What did you end up getting?

    I decided on two and DF decided on two:

    Tollana, Robinson Vineyard Pinot Noir

    Grant Burge, Filsell Old Vine Shiraz

    2004 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Carpineto

    2006 Francoise & Denis Clair, Cote-de-Beaune Villages

    We got a mix of grape varieties and a mix of geography.

    2 Australian, 1 Italian, 1 French.

    I didn'y want to get just one kind (i.e. just Shiraz) in case he doesn't like that type! There were some that i wanted (and you suggested) that they didn't have in stock (the beauty of living in lil ol' Adelaide, hey? ). Ah well, I still managed to buy some. Better not drop them... $120.- worth of wine sitting on my coffee table. Trying *really* hard not to knock them over! Help me I'm clumsy!!

    I'll head out this afternoon to buy the box!

    Thank you so much for your input

    Great choices, my DP wants to know if the Tollana is the '08 because he said if it is you did great because that one rates high with him plus the italian one was a very good choice! He wasnt sure what the last one was as we don't sell it.
