Is a bottle of wine à shit gift?

[grassisjeweled]

Got a mate of mine a bottle of wine for Christmas - is it a shit gift? Should I have got her something more thoughtful? It's her favourite wine.

Just reading the thread about the Thortons chocs and it got me thinking

It’s a good gift

I think it's a great gift. That Thornton thread was a bit odd, I think wine and / or chocs are always well received! They certainly always are in my house.

I got a bottle of wine from a friend think it's my fave gift going to open it now. To drown my sorrows about the £10 worth of tat my tight partner brought me.

It's fine...more of a token gift than a gift gift.. but I'd be happy with anything

I love to get a nice bottle of wine as present. Or decent chocolates
I'd far prefer that than a cheap bottle of perfume or a scarf etc

As long as it isn't Black Tower

Her favourite wine is a thoughtful gift you know she'll use and enjoy. Most of us accumulate too much junk at Christmas - I much prefer consumables.

I don’t drink so it would be a shit gift for me but I would enjoy a B&H soap set which most on here think is a shitty gift and if you are given one then that person obviously hates you.

I like getting wine.

something I'll use (up), hopefully enjoy and won't have to keep around. Perfect.

Consumables the person likes are always better than more stuff!

No, unless the recipient is a teetotaller or alcoholic.

I'd be delighted with any gift from a friend but most of my friends have stopped doing gifts for other adults. I think it's absolutely fine, who wouldn't like a bottle of their favourite wine. Don't stress.

I mean the thought is in the thinking to buy something for someone, to my mind.
