Mariposa Fish Bottle OpenerI like to be prepared with small hostess or engagement gifts so that I am not always running out to find something at the last minute. One of the most useful and fun engagement presents that Rob and I received is now my go-to engagement present or hostess gift: a unique bottle opener. The opener we received was from our friend Phil who knew how much my husband loves to fish and how we both love the ocean and the East Coast preppy aesthetic in general. We use the fish almost every day (particularly since moving to Colorado where there are awesome craft beers to try everywhere you turn) and have received many compliments on it over the years.
Mariposa makes a number of bottle openers that are perfect for gift-giving, particularly if the recipients love the ocean or New England and I have found a few other creative options. In addition to bottle openers, there are some neat corkscrews available, as well as a fun wine bottle toppers and gift bags if you are looking to bring a bottle of wine and want to make the bottle stand out.
