I love giving (and receiving!) personalised engraved gifts. There’s something extra special about them don’t you think? It all comes down to the fact that the gift isn’t just something that anyone could pick off the shelf. But rather it’s a carefully considered item, and you can always tell when someone has gone the extra mile to make it unique to you. With brunch and dinner parties stretching ahead into the autumn and winter months, I have found the most perfect personalised alcohol gifts that will not only keep your hosts smiling, but also make your bottle the stand out one from the crowd. *Because who wants to hand over a bottle of something only to see it popped to the back of the cupboard for ‘another time’. Don’t worry, GiftsOnline4U have it all covered with some stunning personalised alcohol gifts with pewter labels. Hurrah! Here’s a look at how we got on.
Now, I will admit, whilst I love giving personalised gifts, I don’t like all the faffing about that tends to go with the actual ordering. A lot of websites I have come across make the ordering so fidderly that I tend to give up half way through. GiftsOnline4U have really simplified the process down, making it easy and quick to get your thoughtful message out and onto your chosen gift. The preview is very close to exactly what you will get, making this a trusted company that I would certainly order from in the future.
We ordered a personalised bottle of ruby port with a shield shaped pewter label. Ruby port is wonderfully festive and goes so brilliantly with nibbles, chocolate desserts and cheese and crackers. EVERYONE brings wine, so why not go out on a limb with something different as well as personalised I say!
And what was the personalisation? “A little treat for the grown ups” because after the long summer, first days of school and uniform and school supplies buying, I can’t think of any grown up who doesn’t need a treat!
I wasn’t really sure what to expect as this was the first bottle of something we had ordered with a personalised pewter label.
It arrived solidly packaged, and with a little tug, out popped the most unexpectedly luxurious personalised bottle with shiny label.
The label itself does indeed look like a shield and has a beautifully ornate raised pattern which sets off the type perfectly. The message came out as expected and works well with the bottle.
We love the detailing, the expensive look, and for the purposes of this review, we did taste the ruby port, which was excellent.
Impressed? Yes! Really impressed that is. I would be proud to hand over this personalised port as a gift to the hosts of a dinner party or gathering. And, would be secretly confident that it would be popped open just in time for afters.
GiftsOnline4U have a huge selection of personalised gifts on offer over on their website. Whether you are looking for something special for a party like us, or perhaps to celebrate a big birthday, there will be a gift for you to mark the occasion. And trust me, it will be hard not to personalise something for yourself in the process!
Disclosure: We were sent this personalised gift to try out for the purpose of this review. All views are my own.

This would make a fab gift! And definitely well deserved as a grown up treat! Xxx
This would go down really well with “Daddy Pig”. He loves a glass of port and is notoriously impossible to buy for? I think I may need to pop an order in with Santa! x
It looks great. This is the sort of thing I would buy for someone when I was stuck for ideas. The label is perfect
Wow, I would keep a gift like that (empty, I mean) forever! It’s pretty awesome and I would be thrilled to receive it as a gift. Or give it. Sure, that’s good too 😉

These look fab! Popping on my ‘to buy’ for Christmas #DreamTeam
The quality on the bottle is amazing, this would make such a great present! I would definitely keep the bottle long after it’s been emptied. #DreamTeam
What a fun, and stylish gift idea…will have to keep it in mind for Christmas!
I love this company. I was fortunate enough to work with them on a Father’s Day campaign and they really do have some wonderful gifts. #DreamTeam
These are so cool! Def something my hubby would love! Great post #dreamteam
Who wouldn’t want some personalised booze? Though, to be fair, I’d drink it even if it didn’t have my name on it…#dreamteam
The bottle looked so cute, what a sweet idea, and something I would definitely love to receive as a gift! I’m going to have a browse on the site next time I’m stuck trying to think of a special gift. #DreamTeam
This looks so fab! We are doing hampers for the grown ups for Christmas this year, so something like this would definitely add that personal touch #DreamTeam
What a brilliant gift! I’ll have to check the website out #dreamteam
This looks a cool gift for Christmas X #dreamteam
What a great idea for a gift – it really makes it stand out! #dreamteam
those look great. I did something similar for the guys in my wedding, but hadn’t given much thought to that being a gift for other occasions, (or for myself) #dreamteam
These look like great gifts. #dreamteam
I love personalised bottles. We had some made up for our wedding and they were fab. Such a good Christmas pressie idea for those who are usually hard to buy for. #dreamteam
I also love to give personalized gifts, they’re so much more meaningful. #dreamteam
I love engraved gifts too, lovely to read such a thorough review of one. Looks great #dreamteam
Ah thank you for sharing! Look like wonderful gifts – especially with Christmas coming up (can’t believe I mentioned the C word!) #DreamTeam
This would make a fantastic gift to someone. A real personal touch.#dreamteam
This looks awesome! Although I think I’d want to keep it for myself 🙂 A great idea for my friend’s 40th coming up soon thanks! #DreamTeam
This looks right up my street! Yum! #dreamteam
It’s alcoholic and it’s pretty. You literally can’t go wrong!
I do love personalised gifts, I know a few people who would like this x
#dreamteam
This is very cool, and would make a brilliant gift! I love the expensive loo too. #dreamteam
Great gift idea and glad it tasted good too! #dreamteam
OOh I love the idea of this! It makes just buying someone a bottle of something seem so much more special! I might check this out for some Christmas pressies! #dreamteam
We totally agree with you that personalised gifts are fantastic. Love the engraving as well, would make a fab Christmas present!
Sorry for the late #DreamTeam comment x We missed you at the conferences this week x
oh wow, this is way better than a paper personalised label that will get ruined when the drink drips down on it! #dreamteam
I really like the idea of personalising it for the festive season – it’s certainly a gift that I’d remember #dreamteam
That is a pretty cool gift idea for my in-laws! Who knew! Thanks! #dreamTeam xoxo
While I dislike the taste of wine and most alcoholic beverages I do think these covers look great. #DreamTeam
Looks great, and yes I love personalised gifts too. Give them more now since having a child as they make great presents for grandparents too. #DreamTeam
