Buying gifts can always be a stressful situation, whether you are buying for a friend, colleague, spouse or family member, knowing exactly what to get can be difficult! We got a few ideas to help you ensure that you are getting the best gift for the people you are buying for this holiday season!

First things first, do you know what the person likes? Are they a fan of bold Napa red wine, some refreshing New Zealand Sauv Blanc or maybe they love bubbles? Having a bit of knowledge of what they are interested in can go a long way! Further, do they like to play it safe and stick to what they know, or are they the kind of person who enjoys exploring new flavors and regions? Maybe that Napa drinker would want to try a Super Tuscan, or maybe they like to stick to what they know. Not sure what to buy them? We think that a bottle of bubbles always make for an excellent gifting wine, everyone loves bubbles, and everyone needs a bottle come New Year’s Eve!

The next thing is have a budget in mind, no matter if you want to spend $10 or $1000 there are great gifts at practically every price point! It is also important to remember that buying a few bottles of wine can often be an even better gift than buying one expensive bottle. Getting a six pack or a case of wine is an ongoing gift and people won’t hesitate to drink something from a larger box filled with wine, when it is just one bottle folks tend to hesitate to open it for that "special occasion" we think any day can be the right occasion.

The last thing to remember, we’re here to help! Our professionals at Crown would love to help you walk through buying one gift, or to mark everyone off your list! Stop in to your nearest Crown Liquors and we’ll help spread some holiday cheer!
