Fine Gift Ideas

I’ve just celebrated my own silver wedding anniversary this week, and one of the gifts we received was a bottle of champagne with a personalised message inscribed to mark the occasion.  I thought it was such a fabulous gift, so when I saw a similar thing here, I rushed to put it on this website so many other people could treat their friends, family or themselves with something similar.

Perfect for a wedding party or engagement as well, it is a gift that not only celebrates the occasion on the day, but becomes a lasting souvenir too.

A variety of wines are available for this personalisation – the one shown is just an example.  Personalisation of up to 60 characters (including spaces) is possible. 

There are hundreds of options available when choosing the Orient Express as a gift for a loved one.  From mini holidays and full-day excursions, there are trips all around the UK mainland celebrating many special customs such as Mother’s Day and here we are bringing you a chance to enjoy Christmas Lunch aboard this famous carriage.

With several trips organised during December 2009 (including 21st December) from various locations around the country, this makes a fabulous pre-Christmas treat.  Better still, book as a gift for your loved one and join them on a magical trip whilst enjoying a sumptuous five course festive lunch accompanied with a glass of champagne and half bottle of wine during the meal, all served to you by immaculate liveried staff.

Want your gift recipient to choose their own trip?  Instead, you could purchase Orient Express gift vouchers .
