Gift-giving season is here, and it's time to think about who you might want to show some extra appreciation for during the holidays. I love giving gifts. In fact, gift-giving is my love language, and it brings me a lot of joy. As I head into my 40s, I am tending to focus more on meaningful gifts. I find that I am spending more time looking for gifts that will be well-loved and remembered, and ultimately enjoyed by the recipient.

A go-to gift for me is a bottle of wine or even a nice wine gift basket. This is the time of year when we wind up invited to a lot of people's homes for dinners, parties, and events, and I never like to show up empty-handed. It's always a lovely idea to have a gift ready for your host. A nice bottle of wine is a simple and thoughtful gift, but you can take it one step further by purchasing and gifting wine from The California Wine Club, rather than just picking up a bottle of wine from your local grocery store.

California Wine Club wines are award-winning and hand-selected. They include wines to suit all tastes, whether you're a red fan, or love crisp whites or even blush wines. These gorgeous wines make wonderful gifts, whether given as gift sets, individually or even as a club subscription.

If you're looking to wow someone this holiday season, consider gifting a California Wine Club Subscription! You can choose a membership plan that works best for you or the recipient, and choose between 1 - 12 shipments. This is the gift that keeps on giving, especially if you decide to gift someone a full year of membership, allowing them to enjoy various delicious wines throughout the year. What a gift! *Wine club gifts start at $43.45 for a two-bottle shipment of handcrafted wines from an artisan California winery. 

You can choose from California Wine Club's beautiful wine gift sets, if you're looking for a pair of wines, or are wanting to try a select few bottles. Choose from pre-selected gift sets such as Chardonnay Gift Sets, Cab Lovers Sets, Dinner Party Gift Sets, a 12 Bottle Reserve, and more! If you're hosting a party, you may want to go with the 12 Bottle Reserve so you have lots of wonderful wine options for your holiday gathering! Wine Gift Sets start at $65.18.

If you're wanting to share California Wine Club wines with friends or co-workers for the holidays, the gorgeous Business Wine Gift Sets are perfect for gift-giving! These sets come beautifully packaged in wooden gift boxes, ready for giving.

If you're like me and don't want to get someone the wrong kind of wine, a gift certificate is a great option! You can even send a California Wine Gift Certificate electronically, so your recipient can open that directly from their Inbox on Christmas Day! Let them choose their own wine, and take the guesswork out of the selection process. A simple, thoughtful gift that leaves everyone happy!

If you're going to gift a bottle of wine to a host or friend, make sure the presentation matches the splendor of the wine. Skip the gift bag, and opt for a tea towel. Wrap the wine bottle in a tea towel, tie it with twine or festive ribbon, and you'll have left your host with a memorable gift- a bottle of delicious wine, and a lovely tea towel they can enjoy in their kitchen.
