We often save champagne for special occasions, like a wedding, a graduation or a New Year's party (and we've been known to over-imbibe at that last one). But you don't have to wait for something amazing to happen before you break out the bubbly! Why not pick up a bottle of your favorite champagne next time you're at the store and find something new to celebrate with your girlfriends or guy?

Life is full of small accomplishments, many of which we never get the chance to celebrate. It can be something simple like finally getting around to setting up that countertop herb garden you bought three months ago, or something more momentous like buying your first car or getting a promotion at work. In fact, you don't even need a special event to celebrate - being alive, happy and surrounded by people you love is more than enough reason to pop the cork and pour a few flutes full of champagne.

We recommend going all out with a dinner party. If you're looking for a romantic night, whip up something delicious for you and your guy and break out the bubbly as you dine under the stars. Toast to anything - your love, your future together or what the two of you will do after the champagne's gone, if you know what we mean.Single? You can still celebrate. Invite over some friends, pour out some champagne and enjoy a delicious evening in the company of the people you care about
