Bonkers for bubbles
If she loves bubbles, you can’t go wrong with a bottle of Champagne Tattinger Brut Prestige Rose NV. Prestige Rosé’s aromas are fresh with wild strawberries and a hint of spice.
On the palate this lively, fruity, fresh and elegant wine is balanced and smooth with good length and persistent flavours of crushed wild raspberry, cherry and blackcurrant. Dreamy – and a great match for fruit or cheese. She will love to receive this as a gift!

Sweet smells
If she loves nice aromas around the house, incense sticks are a winner! These beauties from Temple of Incense are so long-lasting and there are lots of great scents to choose from.
We love the Jasmine Blossom which is floral with hints of musk. There are some spicy notes along with a whisper of fruitiness. They come in different sized boxes, up to 10 sticks.
