Gift Basket

Gift baskets come in an assortment of sizes, styles and themes. You can give the couple a romantic gift basket for two which would include items like decadent chocolates, champagne, scented candles and soft music. For a more practical gift basket, choose from items such as linens, towels and kitchenware. You can purchase a ready-made gift basket or create your own by choosing the basket and items to be included.

Monogrammed gifts are great because they can be personalized according to the recipients. You can get a variety of items embroidered with the couple's initials or names like linens, bath robes or towels. You can put both of their initials on the same item, or create "his and hers" by using one color for her and another for him. You have the choice of doing the embroidery yourself on purchased items or having a tailor or an online service do it for you.
