When my brother returned from a trip to Europe a couple years ago, he gave me a wooden wine box with a wine from the region he visited. Given my affinity for vino -- and in this age when gift cards are the mindless gift of last resort -- I thought it was a thoughtful gift.
The wine and stately box was a double gift. A double gift that
I purchased a nice California wine and placed it, along with a small notebook with a note outlining the box's history, in the case and passed it on to a worthy new caretaker. I hope it was passed along.
The thought of the box moving from home to home makes me smile. I wonder if it's been hiking, seen great sights, witnessed an engagement. But I'm left wondering where its been, what happy moments its enjoyed and where it is now.
How would you react if someone gifted you a handsome wooden wine box, but asked you to blog about the awesome wine experience and pass it along?
I need your feedback and advice. Is this a worthy project? Would anyone read such a blog? Is it a project for fun or profit?
This is an awesome idea!! I love it love it. You should start the blog/notebook and explain your project. I think you should also describe who and when you shared the wine with. :) Who got it? If you haven't given it yet, I'll be a willing recipient! YAY.
