Wine Tote & Picnic Basket Gift Sets

The Top of the Range, and It Looks It

These are the sets that go into a live auction, a closing gift for a significant sale, or a retirement after a long career. They turn up boxed and ready to hand over, which is the actual product here: nobody on your staff has to make it presentable. In a fundraising catalog a complete picnic set photographs well and reliably draws bidding above its cost, which is the practical argument for buying at this level at all.

Baskets, Backpacks and Service Counts

Read the service count before the price. The two person sets get used; they also ship without drama, which matters more than it should. Traditional woven baskets with flatware and glassware for four carry the most presence in a display but are bulky and get used less. Backpack and carrier styles are the compromise that actually goes somewhere. Where a company does not give alcohol, choose one built around the service pieces instead.

Common Questions

Which of these actually gets taken somewhere?

A picnic backpack or carrier set for two. Full baskets look magnificent and mostly live in a closet, which is fine if the gift is symbolic.

What does service for two or four actually include?

Typically plates, flatware, glassware and napkins for that number of people. Counts vary by set, so ask us for the component list before you promise it to a recipient.

Do any of these exclude the wine?

Several skip it entirely and build around the plates and flatware. Choose one of those if alcohol is off the table for your organization.
