Who doesn’t love getting wine as a gift? It’s a personal favorite of mine to both give and receive! So for my (pregnant) friend Jill’s birthday last week I decided to give her a bottle of her favorite red wine which she’ll soon be able to enjoy after that precious little baby arrives!
When it comes to wrapping a bottle of wine, your options seem rather limited–but here’s one fun idea I came up with! My friend Steph makes these adorable wristlet key fobs and I decided to buy one for Jill:
I wrapped her wine in tissue paper and cellophane, and then used the key fob to decorate the neck of the bottle instead of a ribbon:
And the best part? The rings of the key fob make a perfect card holder!
It’s both pretty and functional!
Love it! Great idea. Last year I found wine gift bags that look like knitted socks.
That’s fabulous! You are so creative.
Genius.
Cute!! Love it!!
Love this idea! I have a pet sitting company and our area network has a Christmas white elephant gift exchange and the most popular gift is wine, so I’m ordering the adorable doggy motif fob, so they’ll get a double gift – wine & fashion for their many keys. We carry more keys than most janitors!
That is a very cute idea…The big question is…what kind of wine is it??
That really is a great idea.
I’m taking note of that and sticking in the back of my brain until after Thanksgiving!

very smart! I’ll have to do this as well!
So cute!! What a great idea.
Long time lurker coming out of hiding here – I love your blog!
(Except you kind of make me feel like a domestic underachiever, but still. Love your blog.)
I am going to steal this idea for sure!
So cute! I am hoping that there is some nice pink bubbly under that bubbly pink wrapping.

Great idea!!! How much does she charge of the key fobs?
Oh D! Love this idea. And what a great idea with Christmas right around the corner!
Happy Anniversary to me and your blog by the way. I’ve been reading it for over a year now!
Hands down one of the best ideas! I LOVE those key fobs, and such a cute wrapping idea (one of my friends is getting it for her bday…)
This is totally non decor related. I have started running. I never thought I would be a running person, but here I am running and without someone chasing me with an axe, no less.
I see you are (were) a runner. How often did you run and how long? Do you feel this was a sufficient enough workout without doing weight training?
I LOVE this idea! And will so steal it
thanks for sharing!
So glad you like the idea everyone! To answer your questions, the wine was Menage a Trois red (Jill’s favorite) and my friend Steph sells the key fobs for $5.50 each at her Etsy store Mada’s Place (link to her store and these key fobs in this post).
@blondie–What a cute idea! I’m sure those were a hit!
Hi Jen–thanks for your first comment! You’re so sweet! š
@Amber–Awww…happy anniversary to us! I wish I could join you in a toast. Soon!
@puck–Good for you! I know how hard it can be to get started, but stick with it and you’ll be amazed at how easy it gets as you go! I ran about 3-5x/week before I got pregnant, and once I got pregnant I kicked it up to 6 days/week. I ran 20 miles/week through my 20th week of pregnancy and then progressively had to slow things down as my belly got bigger. At the end of my second trimester I needed to hang up my shoes for good (until after the pregnancy). I do think running is enough of a workout that you don’t need to add strength training if it’s not your thing. That said, I’ve personally found that doing even a little bit of strength training has really helped my running. Hope that helps and feel free to let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck!
I loooove this idea! So cute and creative
Dayum! LOVE that!
SO CUTE! I never imagined they’d be used this way but I LOVE IT!!
Great idea! I love getting wine gifts (and I guess I can spare a bottle here and there)…
I love this idea! I love the key ring. I’m headed to her etsy shop to order on now! Thanks.
Great idea! Totally stealing it and checking out her Etsy site. Love them. thanks for sharing.
