Party Gift: Wine Accessory

As a wine lover - perhaps aficionado - I seek out the latest fashion accessories for wine bottles as well so... behold

Toast it!

At $3.99 a pop + free shipping, this is the perfect gift for someone when you are trying to be a little unique and save money.

What is a Toast-it?

'Greeting cards that wrap around wine bottles, for a smart alternative to traditional wine bags and boxes'

'Toast-its have a smart design that includes  an area for personalized greeting that stays with the bottle even when the rest of the wrap is removed-so your host will remember your thoughtfulness whenever they pop the cork'
