When you are assembling a fine wine gift sets you need to consider who you are getting the gift together for. People often have very different wine tastes and it just doesn’t make sense to give a fine wine gift set if the receiver doesn’t enjoy the wine. So give some thought to this one before you assemble it. You can certainly ask the intended recipient what they like in a wine if you don’t already have that information. As this wine gift set can be a bit expensive you probably should know this.
This wine gift set can be assembled in one of those insulated wine carriers that hold two bottles of wine. So the first thing you will choose is a bottle of red of what ever type of wine the recipient drinks like a cabernet or zinfandel and then add a bottle of white such as a Riesling.
Of course you can choose two red or two white also. If you live in a wine producing state select local wines. Then add a foil cutter for the top and a good waiter’s corkscrew. So many people think any old corkscrew will work when in fact a cheap corkscrew can ruin a wine experience because they just don’t open that bottle of wine. Add a decent bottle stopper with a decorative top.
Then you can wrap up two long stemmed wine glasses that are meant as a general purpose wine glass so they can use them in the future.

Every one loves a home made apple pie but not everyone has the materials to put one together. So if you have a friend who likes to cook and likes apple pie then you can assemble a perfect gift set 2011 for that person.
Before you begin to put this gift set together you should find a pretty basket or one of those portable pie carriers that are sold on the internet. This is what you will use to assemble this gift set in.
The first thing you will need to purchase is a glass pie pan. You could get the disposable aluminum ones but they can only be used one time so a glass pie pan is better. After you get the pit pan then chose a rolling pin for the crust. You will also need to include a set of measuring spoons and a measuring cup. A pie shaped wedge cutter or server is also a nice touch to add to this gift set. And you might include a pot holder. Any cook can always use another pot holder.
Then you will need to buy a small bag of all purpose flour. Also purchase about one dozen large apples of the tart or acidic apple variety such as gravenstein or a pippin.
When you have assembled all of the parts of this gift set you should also either hand write or print out from the computer a good simple apple pie recipe to include with this gift set.

Not everyone has all of the items necessary to perform at a great BBQ. So perfect gift sets 2011 are BBQ gift sets that you have assembled for that avid BBQ artist. The container for this gift set is a wire basket with a handle so the BBQ person can reuse it to hold the BBQ supplies and the basket won’t come apart over the year.
The first items you will need for this gift set are some BBQ tools but you are not going to get them at your traditional BBQ store. Instead you are going to visit the local welding supply store or visit a welding supply site online because you are going to get those long topped welders gloves which make great BBQ gloves. From the same source you will also get a welders brush. These are much better made that the standard grille brush that is generally available. It lasts a long time too.
Then you will need two bottles of gourmet BBQ sauce plus several small packets of scented wood chips for smoking on the grille. You will need a long handled fork; just the standard BBQ grille fork is fine here. A couple of decent BBQ brushes are also nice for this gift set. These are the type where you slather on that sauce or other form of sauce type seasonings or toppings.
Then you will need to print off some BBQ recipes from the computer such as BBQ ribs to complete this gift set.
