A Gin Lover’s Gift Guide for Xmas 2019
*Items Marked With * Have Been Gifted For Previous Reviews/ For The Purpose Of This Gift Guide Or Are Personal Affiliate Links*
I am fully on board with the gin revival. The past couple of years have seen gin go from something middle-aged ladies drink to something everyone loves! Well, not everyone but it does seem like it, doesn’t it. These days there is a seemingly endless variety of flavours to try, mixers to add and gin branded merchandise to own! I now own a range of gin branded gifts along with my own designated gin drinking glasses too!
So what should you consider as a gift for the gin lover in your life? Check out these suggestions below for some great ideas. All items gifted to me are marked with a *. All other suggestions are items I own, have seen or would love to own.
A Gin Lovers Gift Guide for Xmas 2019
*Rhubarb and Ginger Gin
I cannot wait to give this a try! This Rhubarb and Ginger Gin is £26.99 from Yumbles for 50cl and received a Good Taste Award in 2018. You can find a great selection of gifts for gin lovers at Yumbles if Rhubard and Ginger isn’t your thing!
Jeffrey’s Tonic.
If you’re like me and tonic isn’t really your thing, then you need to try Jeffrey’s Tonic. I tried this gorgeous mixer out at the Gin to My Tonic Show in Liverpool earlier this year, and it is so nice. You add it to soda water and then add to your gin for a lovely alternative to tonic water. I paid £7 for this bottle, and there are different flavours available on their website too.
*Mermaid Gin
This screams ‘Tracey’. Honestly, just the bottle alone has me hooked. If this gin tastes as good as the bottle looks, then it will quite possibly be my new favourite drink! Handcrafted by the Isle of Wight Distillery since 2014, this is a small batch London Dry Gin infused with 10 different botanicals.
You can head over to Mermaid Gin to treat yourself or another gin lover to this gin, which frankly makes a gorgeous looking gift! £39.50 plus postage and this is all yours!
*Strawberry Gin
Oh My! I sampled this at the Gin to My Tonic Show in September, and I cannot wait to try it as a proper drink! Deliciously fruity this definitely feels like a perfect drink to celebrate the festivities don’t you think! You can snap up a bottle of Puerto de Indias Strawberry Gin this Christmas for £24.99 for a 70cl bottle. Infused with strawberry and juniper, this is definitely a gin for those who love to experiment with flavours.
*Glass Straws. (affiliate link)
When you have made yourself a drink, garnished it, and admire your handiwork before you sample it, the last thing you want is for it to be let down by an unsightly straw. We have made the switch from plastic straws at home, but these glass straws are the perfect accompaniment for any drink. Gin or not. You can get this 10 pack on Amazon for £6.99, click the image and head to Amazon.
Gin Map
To really indulge yourself in all things gin, you can now own your very own gin map! Find out where gins are made from all around the world and exactly what goes into sourcing different gins in different regions. Maps International have created this scratch-off map for those who want to find out a bit more about where gin comes from.
The perfect gift for the gin enthusiast this map will even give you some ideas for sourcing new and different gins you can try from different distilleries around the UK (£13).
Gin Infusion Set
Enhance your gin with this fabulous gin infusion set RRP £14.99 from VonShef. With different flavours to change your gin, what’s not to love! I can’t wait to try this out with some gin over Christmas. Perfect for those wanting to try something a little different without having to commit to drinking a full bottle!
*Colour Changing Gin Infusion Kit (affiliate link)
I don’t know about you, but this is right up my street! I am all for adding some fun to my drink, and I say why not light it up! This kit for £7.99 will make up to 5 bottles of colour changing gin when you add tonic to it! Click the image, and you too can be the owner of some fabulous colour-changing gin this year!
I wasn’t going to include my gin teapot (as seen in pictures above), as I was gifted it for my birthday off one of my sisters. But I recently came across it in ASDA for £9 for those wanting something fun to pour their gin into!
