The easiest person on the planet to shop for is the drinker. Many drinkers consider it a serious social pastime that can only be enhanced by various accessories. Whatever the alcohol of choice is for your shopping target, there are plenty of great gift ideas. But a bottle of their favorite is guaranteed to make any drinker happy if all else fails!
For the Wine Aficionado
From the classy connoisseur to the down-to-earth vino backpacker, here are some wine-drinking accessories any vino type will appreciate:
Wine glass charms. These cute charms are perfect for the wine lover who loves to host. Wine glass charms come in a variety of shapes, styles and themes. Choose one that matches your favorite wine lover’s personality, and their party guests will never lose track of their glasses again.
Corkscrews. For the traveling wine aficionado, a keychain corkscrew makes a great gift – they’ll never have trouble opening their favorite vino again.
For the Cocktail Drinker
Cocktail drinkers enjoy the presentation of their liquor of choice. For the cocktail drinker in your life, consider gift ideas that make an impression:
Glass slips and Stirrers. A little bling always benefits a good cocktail. Cocktail picks and drink stirrers come in a wide variety of styles, some of which are even encrusted with “gems” or LED lights. Or consider a feathered glass slip for the cosmo girl.
Cocktail shakers. An essential for your favorite cocktail drinker, consider gifting to your cocktail drinker a high-quality stainless steel cocktail shaker with a built in strainer for entertaining.
For the Beer Lover
While people do vary, the lover of beer usually has a sense of humor – no one loves laughing better than a beer guzzler who’s had a few. For the brewsky-lover in your life, consider giving these funny beer gifts:
Classic drinking t shirts. The perfect gift for that barfly in your life might be a funny beer t shirt that requests to their companions (in upside-down lettering) “If you can read this, put me back on my barstool.”
Beer cozies. A unique beer cozy is great for any beer lover. Beer cozies come in a variety of styles, from quirky to crude, and have the added benefit of keeping your drink cool.
For the Shot Lover
Straight shooters mean business. They don’t like a lot of fuss, and prefer to get to the point quickly. Gift ideas for these shooters include:
Unique shot glasses. Novelty shot glasses deliver just the right amount of alcohol with a laugh in a variety of forms. The homes of many hard liquor drinkers contain collections of novelty shot glasses. For the most efficient straight shooter, look for a two-tiered glass. The shot is on the top, and the chaser on the bottom; they remain separate until your straight shooter tosses it back.
Professional liquor dispenser. The shot lover in your life will love a liquor dispenser – it doles out booze at the touch of a button. A typical dispenser will hold multiple bottles at one time, allowing your drinker to easily pick their poison.
