WDYT..and where to buy? (reader gifts)

So as a gift for our 2 readers, I was thinking of making them each a small basket with a bottle of wine, some nice cheese and maybe a cheese serving tray (ya know the ones that are made from melted squished wine bottles). What do you think of this?  And does anyone know where I can buy the squished wine bottle cheese tray servers aside from online?  I know I have seen them places, i just can't remember where!

    I'm always a fan of wine so sounds good to me. Don't know where to get the cheese tray though.

    The only place I've ever seen them other then online is at craft fairs. Sorry! great idea though.

    I think it is a good idea, and maybe try etsy for the cheese trays?  I have seen them at craft fairs and at those stores you find at the places like the shore with random home decorations and such in them.

    Maybe try calling some of the local wineries.  i know this winery http://palaiavineyards.com/and warwick vallley winery both have some cute shops attached to them.

    I'm going to vineyards soon, I'll keep my eye out for you and give you a shout if I see anything.

    thanks, I know I can easily get them online, I am just being stubborn because I feel like I have seen "better" ones...well ones with more fun labels on them at least.

    good suggestions, I will check out corrados and chef central (I think it is still there).For some reason, I just kept thinking kohls and crate and barrel.   I was having a brain malfunction.

    You could also try Home Goods. That store has a ton of wine accessories.
