It appears you are oblivious to my subtle hints. You barely noticed, when I very nearly swooned over the wine gift basket door prize at the Star Trek New Frontiers convention a few months ago. Nor do you ever even glance at the numerous wine catalogs and magazines I have laying around. Do you care that all the little note cards I send you, all the sticky notes I leave for you have a wine theme? No, you don’t. So I’m going to make it easy for you, here are five rock-solid, perfectly stellar reasons to buy me a wine gift basket.
For the Occasion
It’s my birthday or it could be. I will make an exception and age another year tomorrow if only I could see a fine wicker wine and cheese gift basket and symbols of your affection for me. Did I say cheese? Maybe cheese is too much for a birthday – but it would make a grand Christmas gift. And just for the record, I’m not opposed to putting up the tree today and digging out the Christmas CDs.
It is a national holiday in Seychelles and the very least we could do is raise awareness for this tiny African nation. It’s my understanding that wine gift baskets are a national tradition in Seychelles, or if not now, certainly could be very soon. It is your duty as a world citizen to send me a wine basket in honor of this great but tiny nation.
For the Relationship
You are very sorry for being such a jerk the other day. I am not sure if I want to forgive you just yet. To prove just how sorry you are, you want me to have a lovely bottle of Huckleberry Reisling nested sweetly in a fine basket with linen napkins and crystal wine glasses.
You’ve had enough of my simpering and nagging. This relationship just isn’t cutting it for you anymore. But you are a classy guy, you like to leave your women with warm memories and nothing takes the sting out of a breakup, like a large, fancy, wine gift basket.
The Ultimate Reason
Because I told you to – that should be reason enough. You can pretend it is your idea, whatever it takes. I’m such an idiot, I just realized I’ve never sent you a wine gift basket. One is its way to you right now. You get to guess the reason.
