What can I add to these glasses to complete the gift?

I bought these lovely cocktail glasses for a gift, (before they were reduced, annoyingly) and I feel like although they are beautiful they look a bit ‘meh’ in the box. I have such decision fatigue now, I don’t know what I can add to them to complete the gift ideally Another£10 or so? I don’t think that’s enough for any actual alcohol plus this recipient is quite fussy so I would really know. Is something cocktail themed too gimmicky?

any suggestions? Something “on theme” or something completely different?

Deffo bitters: orange, Peychaud’s and Angostura. I love a maraschino cherry, and if they don’t have a cocktail shaker, that’s a necessity !

Home Bargains have a little hamper filled with paper that looks like straw. It's a breakfast / tea thing. Little picnic hamper type basket. You could use the breakfast things yourself & add them in there with small chocolates / small bottle of drink. It's only £4.99 xxxx

I did wonder whether to unwrap them. They do look much nicer out of the box. I have some hamper stuff anyway so that could work and I could keep the box and receipt in case they hate them 🤣

They’re lovely but I’d be afraid to use, store or wash them! Maybe a brush and dustpan for when they inevitably break!🤣

Maybe a skiing holiday in the Swiss alps ?

Nothing. They are perfect as they are.
