Champagne Wishes and M&M Dreams

by Moi

A business friend was married recently, and TBG and Moi needed to find an appropriate gift,  though we weren’t invited to the wedding. We wanted to wish them well on their new life together. You know how it is, we needed to do something, we wanted it to be creative, fun and appropriate: show alot of thought, and not spend too much money.

This is an ND friend, and as in all things ND, we decided the fun part would be the Notre Dame colors, blue and gold; and the Notre Dame passion, football.

Hmmm…original, blue and gold, Notre Dame: that took Moi a little serious mind tumbling…

Voila! The age old appropriate gift, champagne! And our fave Champagne, Veuve Clicquot. Love the widow (veuve in French) and her story as a young widow leading this small French company to the top of the Champagne world. Even better: VC is packaged in gold!

veuveclicquotThis  VC bottle comes packaged in a fab gold hardcase traveller, with 2 champagne glasses: Parfait! Moi jumped on the internet, and googled and binged and compared prices, and came up with a very reasonable $80 for the set…compared to up to $150 on other sites. This travel set is perfect for picnics, tailgates, days at the beach, movie in the park, anywhere you need to add a little luxe to the menu.

Hmmm…now for the blue part…blue food? blue paper plates, blue blanket, not too expensive…think think think…

Voila! Moi has to read her own blog: custom printed blue and gold M&Ms…perfect! Buy 3 get 1 free. Free shipping. Sold!

Like the Veuve Clicquot idea but look for something a little less, well, gold and a little more romantic? Check out VC’s Rosé Mon Amour line: perfect for an anniversary, Valentines’ Day, or any reason to celebrate.

Bonjour J
Veuve Clicquot is available at most fine wine or liqour stores. Since Omaha doesn’t really have liquor stores, check at your wine store or grocer who carries liquors and wine, or check online! There are alot of online wine stores, http://www.wine.com carries the Veuve rosé
