Moving into my first apartment in college, my mom—queen of sentimental gestures—surprised me with a large gift bag of individually wrapped packages and made me promise to wait for the right time to open the bag. When the day to explore the package finally arrived, I could barely contain the excitement and love that I felt. On each individual present were notes: “Open when you pass your first test,” another “Open when you need to recharge,” or probably the most emotional “Open when you’re feeling homesick.” This warmed my heart more than I could express in words.
My parents had found a way to send little gestures of their love and support as if they were right there next to me, cheering me on through some pivotal times in my life—regardless of the miles between us.
As the Wine365 Team began designing wine packs for the fall and winter season, my parent’s sentimental gesture came to mind. The First Apartment Wine Pack was born—offering a bottle of wine to you or your loved ones for all the first the celebratory moments in life.
