These days, everyone seems to be busy. With both spouses working, finding time for housework, going to the gym, and all the other activities we pack into our daily lives, it can be difficult to find time to spend with friends. Despite the temptation to rely on social networking sites for our communication, it’s more important than ever to find excuses to get together with friends so that we stay in touch. Sometimes we can find those excuses in unexpected locations.

TheTipsyGrape.com is a website dedicated to the lighter side of wine. That is to say, they don’t take themselves too seriously. They do, however, have an incredibly broad selection of wine accessories and wine related items available in their online catalog. Sure, it can be nice to have friends over to talk and share a bottle of wine, but the ideas at The Tipsy Grape go much farther than that.

For example, they offer a complete wine tasting kit. The kit comes with numbered bags that slip over each bottle of wine to hide its identity from the tasters. It also comes with a pad of scoring note cards that list the various attributes for which wine should be judged. Each participant tastes the wines and makes their own notes about each one. Then, the notes are read and the wines are revealed. A wine tasting event is a fantastic way to get friends together for a novel and fun experience.

For those who want to combine fun with learning about wine, a game called Vitivini offers both. It is a trivia game that includes a full course on wine within its questions and answers. Master this game and you’ll be well on your way to becoming an expert. If that’s a little too erudite for your crowd, then try a simpler past-time, Wine-opoly. Wine-opoly is a variation on Milton Bradley’s classic board game, Monopoly. The names and places have been changed, but the game play is familiar enough so that everyone can catch on quickly. For those who do like just a little bit of learning mixed in with their fun, the property deed cards have fun and interesting wine facts on the back of each card.

Of course, there are the classics as well. People can still get together and play bridge, cribbage, gin rummy, or poker as well. At The Tipsy Grape, they offer sets of playing cards around the wine theme as well. Each of the 52 cards in the red wine deck contains information about one specific red wine grape. You’ll also find a similar deck for the white wine crowd as well.

Of course, these games and activities all go better with a little of the old vino added in for good measure, but with or without an accompanieent of wine, these games make a great excuse to call up your friends that you haven’t seen in person for weeks and invite them over for an evening of fun.

The best gifts are personal gifts – gifts that require a little thought and planning, and that show that you know something about the recipient. That’s why we often tell our children to draw up a handwritten card for grandparents and other family members, and why it’s so special when they make presents for our birthdays and other occasions.

Of course, when we grow up, expectations change. If, as adults, we were to hand our aunts and uncles a tangle of pipe cleaners and tell them it’s a horse because we know they like to spend time at the racetrack, well, that wouldn’t go over as well as it might have when we were five years old. That doesn’t mean that we can’t still give personalized gifts that have special meaning.

It is still possible to give a personalized gift, even after we outgrow pipe cleaner art projects. GlassWithaTwist.com offers the opportunity to add custom etching to almost any type of bar glass, tumbler or pitcher. The etching can be text, artwork or a combination of both. Using the example above, we might include a picture of a racehorse and the text, “Lost again, but at least the beer’s still cold.”

Of course, we don’t have to be silly with our choices, personalized etched glassware is a perfect, thoughtful gift for special occasions like a wedding anniversary or a retirement party. These types of gifts can include the date of the event as a special reminder for the recipient that brings back fond memories of the day for years and years to come.

People often use etched glassware as a way to indicate that they are part of a group. Members of antasy sports leagues, for example, might have a beer glass with the name of the league, the year and their team etched onto the side. The beer pitcher with the league name and logo might be reserved for the league champion who is responsible each year to bring it to draft day for the enjoyment of all.

Whatever the occasion and whatever the mood, GlassWithaTwist.com has the right item to make it even more memorable. They carry a wide variety of glassware. Everything from shot glasses, margarita glasses, heavy beer mugs, and dozens more varieties can be found on their fun and easy to navigate website. They will even provide you with some stock sayings and artwork for most occasions if your own creativity isn’t quite up to the task. Of course, they encourage you to supply your own message and artwork as well.

Every item on the site is made of the finest quality bar glass for durability and years of service whether it is used every day or just displayed proudly on a shelf as a memento of a special day. GlassWithaTwist.com is happy to answer any questions you might have about etched glass, and even offers a discount for bulk orders. In case you’re wondering, those discounts start with as few as two glasses of the same type.
