No worries! You know that bottle of wine you've been saving? It'll make a LOVELY gift. But let's dress it up a bit, yeah?

Here are your wine gift wrapping options!

1. Stick Ferrero Rocher chocolates all over a champagne bottle so the gift-getter can have their wrapped present and eat it, too.

Just cover the bottle in masking tape, put a dot of hot glue on each wrapped chocolate, and gently press it on. Your best bet is to work in rows from the bottom to top so you don't get any awkward gaps.

To make it extra special, turn it into a pineapple!

If you like the pineapple lewk (and, I mean, who wouldn't) just cut thin triangles out of different shades of green construction paper. Stick them around the top and drag scissors along the strips to give them that lovely lil' curl.

2. Wrap flowers around a wine bottle with rubber bands to make your bouquet look huge without paying a crazy price.

This trick is pretty self-explanatory... Just wrap two rubber bands around the base of the bottle and stick the stems in. Even if you could only afford six roses on top of the bottle, this trick makes it look like you bought a dozen!

No need to take out a vase! It's included. 😉

Conceal the stems and bands with tulle and a bow!

3. Shower a champagne bottle in glitter to make the bottle poppin' even more glamorous.

Decoupage glue dries real fast, so you'll want to work in small sections.

Absolutely magical. ✨

If you're giving the bottle an ombre look, leave the middle layer for last to make the borders look seamless.

4. Make your own wine label with your favorite photo of the two of you and a few stickers.

Any color spray paint will do, but this mirror coat (from Amazon for $18.47) looks extra fancy. Print the photo out on sticker paper (or use decoupage glue to stick on a photo you already have!) and decorate with a few stickers. Label the ~vintage~ with a paint marker.

How sweet! ❤️
