I love entertaining. That’s probably not surprising considering how much I love wine and food, but there are few things I enjoy as much as having friends over, opening up wine, and serving all sorts of goodies to go with it. Admittedly, it was hard to do when Hubby and I were living in the condo because we just didn’t have the space. Usually my entertaining there was in the common area lounge with other people who lived in the building, and those were potluck…everyone brought a food dish, at least one bottle of wine, and a wine glass. Get-togethers in the new house have been slower to materialize because we’re still without a dining room table, but thankfully, some outdoor and living room furniture haven’t completely stopped us. And, let’s be honest, most of the time, everyone stands around the island in the kitchen anyway.

With more entertaining happening these days, I was very excited when Simply Charmed reached out to see if I would be interested in trying their magnetic wine charms. I love my friends and family, but wine glass mix-ups aren’t ideal. Plus, I liked the idea of an attractive and easy way to make each person’s glass identifiable. We often use stemless (flexible and BPA-free polymer) GoVino glasses on the back patio, which means the charms that go around the stem just don’t work.

Instead of adhering to the glass, Simply Charmed uses magnets—one is attached to the charm and the other is placed inside the glass. The magnets are strong and won’t come off until they’re pulled on. They have no impact on the wine, and vice versa.

I’ve been trying out the “Tom Turkey” set on my regular wine glasses, GoVino glasses, and beer mugs…and I’m a fan. You can expect to see these charms popping up in pictures from now on. In fact, I actually took advantage of this weekend’s 20% off cyber deal to order the “Holiday Cheer” set for myself, as well as “High Heels – Stepping Out in Style” and the “Wedding” set for wine drinking friends.

As an added bonus, if you’re looking to support small businesses, Simply Charmed is a small, family run business. Leann and her husband, Kevin, run the company, while their two teenaged daughters help with graphic design and making the charms themselves.

Simply Charmed sent me two sets—one to try and another to give away. I’m keeping the “Tom Turkey” set, but I’m giving away the “His & Hers” set, which has 12 charms and is a $28 value.

There are several different ways to enter the contest, which is open until 11pm on December 4th. Within 48 hours of the contest ending, I will choose a winner at random, post their name in the comment section, and send an email to make sure I have all the necessary contact information to get the Simply Charmed set in the mail.
