Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys mixology and experimenting with different drinks, there are a variety of meaningful and personal gift ideas that you can consider. Here are a few suggestions that might spark his interest:

1. Bartender Kit: A complete bartending kit would make an excellent gift for your son. Look for one that includes high-quality tools such as a shaker, jigger, muddler, strainer, and mixing spoon. This will not only provide him with the necessary tools but also inspire him to further explore his passion for mixology.

2. Mixology Course: If your son wants to take his mixology skills to the next level, consider gifting him a mixology course or workshop. There are often local classes available, or you can explore online platforms that offer interactive and comprehensive courses on cocktail making. This will help him expand his knowledge and techniques.

3. Unique Cocktail Ingredients: Help fuel your son's creativity by gifting him a selection of unique and high-quality cocktail ingredients. Look for artisanal bitters, flavored syrups, and interesting garnishes like dehydrated fruit or edible flowers. These special ingredients will allow him to experiment and create personalized cocktails at home.

4. Cocktail Recipe Book: A cocktail recipe book can provide your son with a wealth of knowledge and inspiration. Look for books that focus on mixology techniques, classic cocktail recipes, or even books that explore the history behind iconic drinks. This will not only give him new ideas but also deepen his understanding of the craft.

5. Personalized Barware: Consider personalized barware as a thoughtful gift for your son. This could be customized cocktail glasses, a monogrammed cocktail shaker or even engraved muddler. These personalized touches would make his mixology experience even more special and unique.

6. Subscription Box: Give the gift that keeps on giving by signing your son up for a cocktail subscription box service. These boxes often contain unique and curated ingredients, recipes, and even exclusive tools. This way, he will receive a surprise delivery every month, allowing him to discover new flavors and techniques.

7. Mixology App: There are several mixology apps available that provide a wealth of cocktail recipes, tutorials, and tips. Consider gifting your son a subscription to one of these apps, allowing him to access a vast array of cocktail information right at his fingertips.

Remember, the most important aspect of choosing a gift is tailoring it to the recipient's interests and passions. By picking a gift that aligns with your son's love for mixology, you show him that you appreciate and support his hobbies.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
