Christmas Gifts Ideas for Australian Expats Worldwide: New Australian Fine Wine Retailer By The Dozen Delivers Christmas Gift Service with Personal Touch
Sydney, NSW (PRWEB) November 18, 2008
ByTheDozen.com.au is a new Australian fine wine retailer offering a personal gift delivery service to Australian expats worldwide this Christmas. Their user friendly website allows customers to choose from an outstanding range of boutique Australian wines and Champagne. These are then sent as unique Christmas gifts to family and friends on their behalf.
By The Dozen’s personalized Gift Service allows Australian expats to pick and mix fine wine and Champagne and have them conveniently delivered to their loved ones around Australia within 48 hours*. It’s practical and considerably more economical than paying international postage and insurance for Christmas gifts that might not make it home in time.
To celebrate this festive season, By The Dozen is offering Australian expats world over the flexibility to order any combination of wine or Champagne, from a single wine bottle to twin packs and full dozens of red wine, white or mixed. These will be beautifully packaged and delivered with a personal Christmas gift card and message. And on individual orders totaling AUD0 or more, gifts will be delivered free**.
By The Dozen’s stylish and reusable wine boxes are made from 90% recycled cardboard and all their stationary and cards are printed waterless on 100% recycled stock by Fishprint Pty Ltd. The company actively seeks ways to minimize their impact on the environment, and wine being a consumable gift in itself, customers can be guaranteed to be treating their families to a gift that’s not only delicious it’s also green. Giving wine is a truly great Christmas gift idea.
This clever online wine business was dreamed up by Veronica and David Webster, an Australian husband and wife team with an obsession for fine wine. They were inspired to share their wine enthusiasm and experience with a wider audience setting up By The Dozen early last year and just recently their online wine shop.
“We have been recommending wine to friends and family for many years so it was upon public demand that we decided to channel our passion into a business,” says David Webster. Veronica goes on to say, “I lived abroad for several years and recall the last minute rush and stress of getting to the post office to send gifts throughout the year and the expense of it all… we didn’t have a reliable company back at home delivering quality gifts on behalf of us Aussie Expats.”
As a truly independent business, each wine bottle on their list has been hand selected by this dynamic duo. They only stock what they consider to be the best quality representations of each grape variety across different price points and from different regions. Most of their wines come from small to medium size Australian wineries which Veronica and David are passionate about supporting. In addition they stock wines from New Zealand and they are currently working on expanding their European wine list.
Their range of wines make impressive Christmas gifts and they cater to anyone from casual wine consumers through to absolute wine aficionados. There’s something here to suit every palate and budget.
By The Dozen also put together Monthly Wine Specials and these are featured online. Xmas Wine Dozens showcasing exciting new wines in a great mix of styles will be released shortly too. Therefore, plenty of unique Christmas gift choices for Australian expats, they can make up their own dozens, select a special dozen or put together single wine bottles and twin gift packs. Either way, they are guaranteed personal service, excellent quality wine and great value which will impress friends and family this Christmas.
