1. Champagne Bollinger Rosé “The Proposal Picnic Basket”
Fancy a popping the question over a champagne picnic? Look no further. This picnic basket comes with a bottle of Champagne Bollinger Rosé, hand-dipped chocolate marshmallows, a box of a dozen handmade milk chocolate hearts from Kiki's Chocolates of Coldingham and an indulgent Tipple Tails Great Taste Award Cherry Orchard Fruit Cake – a rich treat with almonds, cherries and delicious cherry and almond liqueur.

2. Personalised Proposal “Will You Marry Me?” Champagne
Indulge in a bottle of Grand Cuvee Champagne with a personalised label, so you can ask the all important question with a unique twist.

The artist-designed labels and the option to choose the wine and bespoke text offer a lovely personalised way to ask for your partner’s hand in marriage.

Handmade to order, the 16"x16" cushion features red felt letters that spell out the ultimate statement. When it comes to proposing, every detail matters and an accessory like this will only serve to remind you of the moment that he/she said "Yes".
