As it was famously quoted,

“Compromise is for relationships, not wine.” – Sir Robert Scott Caywood

And, although we aren’t 100% sure exactly who he was, we totally agree. Which is why at Everything But Flowers we have searched high and low (and possibly sipped just a few….) to put together the perfect selection of next day wine gifts of only the most delectable drops.

And we haven’t compromised on delivery time either! Our fabulous range of wine gifts are ready and waiting to be dispatched, so you will have it just in time for your special occasion. With a huge variety to choose from, from the Chatto and Stars perfect for a casual BBQ offering (yes we have saved you from the frostbite after spending hours in the fridge aisle stressing over which brand of dips you should buy), to the romantic Heart to Heart with Cabernet gift to woo your lovely lady and a simple selection of award winning single bottles like the World Top 10 Champagne Gift , the Deep Woods Ebony Cabernet Shiraz Merlot and the Hahndorf Hill Pinot Grigio – there is definitely something for everyone. And lets face it, who can resist relaxing back with a chilled glass of chardonnay? (Tempted? Don’t worry, the end of the working day is almost over!).

Where wine is concerned, there really is no other gift that is so versatile. And even better, it is something that is meant to be shared, so if you have been longing for a sip of sauvignon, then you know just what to surprise your husband, wife, friend or flatmate with tonight!

Remember it’s the simple things in life that make us smile, so a simple yet beautiful gift is the perfect way to show your someone special how much you care this Valentines.

We have selected only the sweetest and most unique Valentine’s day gifts that are the perfect way to spread your love! For something cute (and delicious) the chocolate filled Bucket of Love is sure to get a giggle. The Max Brenner Hug Mug set is a chocolate lovers dream and the Riedel Heart to Heart adds some adult sophistication with a gorgeous bottle Cabernet Sauvignon and some Valentines inspired glasses.

Pamper your man with the Men’s Pamper Pack or give him his three favourite things in the Make Fire, Cook Meat, Drink Beer hamper.

And remember Valentines is just as much about spreading the love to your friends and family. Whether you spoil them with Sweet Treats, take them on the Perfect Picnic or simply give them something to Unwind and Relax, we have something to suit everyone and make them feel warm on fuzzy on such a special day!

So forget the wilting roses and jump onto Everything But Flowers, where you’ll find a gift that to show that someone special that you love them like “the birds need the trees, a poet needs a pen and music needs a beat” (….sorry there had to be at least one cringe worthy quote, it is Valentines after all!)

You can get everything you need to do at work, recover from that cold that dragged all through August, meet all your deadlines and still impress your dad with a great present. All the gifts below are in our warehouse and are ready for immediate delivery. Order today and we can guarantee delivery in time for Fathers’ Day. So sit back, relax and smile, knowing you can do everything and still maintain your favourite child status with one of these incredible gifts.

Great Next Day Despatch Gifts from Everything But Flowers

Fun fact: The debate still rages whether there’s an apostrophe in Fathers Day – with no definitive answer. If you believe Father’s Day belongs to just one father (yours) it’s an apostrophe before the s. If you think all fathers share Fathers’ Day then it’s after the s. But if you think Fathers Day is ‘for’ fathers and not ‘belonging to’ them, you don’t use one at all (like Girls School and Visitors Book).

Whether you miss out an apostrophe or not, make sure Dad doesn’t miss out on a great Fathers day gift and order today!
