There is an English custom often performed at the celebration of weddings and births. After the celebratory toast, the champagne cork is saved and a slit is cut in the bottom. Then a silver coin minted that year is pressed into the cork, creating a good luck charm and keepsake of the life changing moment. Having grown up with these strange charms hidden away in my Mum's jewellery box, they gained a special magic and excitement. So when I saw this charming Champagne Cruet Set, it's no surprise that they capture that same mystery and allure. Elegant and quirky, each silver-plated shaker has the iconic champagne cork shape. Carefully detailed, each shaker is capped with the traditional crinkled top in which is the holes are drilled. A brilliant gift for those special occasions, the unique Champagne Cruet Set will become a memorable keepsake that will be cherished by family for years. Presented in a gift box with a special postcard and mini whisk gift tag, the Champagne Cruet Set is £26 from NotontheHighStreet.com
Also available at Lakeland for £21.99.
