Christmas gift basket for wine lovers?

Besides a couple bottles of wine, what else should I put in this gift basket? I was thinking a 2010 wine guide, but what else?? Any ideas appreciated, especially if you are giving (or have given/received) a good one! Thanks!
--------------------
Here are a few options. * wine glasses specific to the type of wine you've purchased ( there are different ones) * decorative wine stoppers * wine glass charms * corkscrew * a nice block of cheese ( brie or asiago tastes really good with wine) * crackers (try out flavors sesame, garlic,cheese,etc.) * cheese spreaders * food that would go well with the wine, such as pasta, olives or smoked salmon * a wine bottle opener * a picnic blanket I would say though that the key to a good wine basket is first of all, putting good wine in it. Also, make sure you put in the type of wine they drink. Giving a wine basket with reds when they drink whites defeats the purpose. Also, you can really put other things in if you decide to make it a "theme" basket. Get creative. Italian wine, pasta,Tuscany truffles and an Italian cookbook and voila you have a theme. Have fun!
