I've got some long,pretty bottles from Ascotts to go for pressies this year - to be filled with raspberry, strawberry or rhubarb schnapps. Does anyone have any ideas for presenting them as pairs? Wrapping bottles looks amatuerish however careful I am. It needs to be super-quick, cheap and easy, I only have to next Saturday to sort them out and package them up (otherwise I'll have to post them)

How about like a giant cracker? Will they fit into sections of poster tube, then you wrap paper round and gather the ends rather than folding and taping

like the cracker idea or you could use material tubes tied at th top with nice ribbon or cord. the material will fold and scrunch neater than paper

They are smallholding suppliers. We use them for some stuff But do check around as they can some times be very over priced.

Coo, Marigold: really like that furoshiki stuff. I take it back: you're not a load of old dried veg. peelings.

I received a lovely botttle of Calvados last year which was wrapped in fuschia pink voile type fabric, tied at the top with a gold ribbon - looked fantastic
