As I think about all the gifts I’ve given to family and friends over the years, I’ve realized that some of my favorite ones somehow always revolve around the bar. And that’s not to say I’ve been doling out bottles of wine like that aunt or that everyone even has an at-home bar, but I consider bar gifts to be as versatile and gift-able as anything else.
Whether it’s a bottle of wine (okay, fine) or a non-alcoholic spirit, matching coupes or coasters, or even a box of punny, booze-inspired gummies, bar gifts are thoughtful and practical. Best of all, they’re usually what gets used (or sipped, or eaten) as soon as they’re unwrapped. Instant joy and gratification, amirite?
