Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who has a passion for mixology, there are plenty of thoughtful and unique gift ideas that can enhance his hobby and bring a smile to his face this Christmas. From cocktail kits to professional bar tools, here are a few suggestions to consider:

1. Mixology Starter Kit: Help your son take his mixology skills to the next level with a comprehensive mixology starter kit. It typically includes a variety of essential bar tools such as a shaker, jigger, muddler, strainer, and mixing spoon. This will enable him to experiment and create different cocktails from the comfort of his own home.

2. Cocktail Recipe Book: Expand your son's repertoire of cocktails by gifting him a cocktail recipe book. Look for a book that covers a wide range of drink recipes, from classic cocktails to trendy and innovative mixes. Additionally, choose a book that provides tips and techniques to help your son perfect his mixology skills.

3. Unique Glassware: Surprise your son with a set of unique and stylish glassware to elevate his drinking experience. Consider gifting him a set of vintage-inspired cocktail glasses or custom engraved glassware to add a personal touch to his creations.

4. Craft Spirits: Treat your son to a bottle or two of premium craft spirits. Look for unique and small-batch spirits such as artisanal gin, aged rum, or handcrafted whiskey. These special bottles will provide him with new flavors to experiment with and elevate his mixology skills.

5. Cocktail Subscription Box: Consider signing your son up for a cocktail subscription box. These curated monthly boxes typically include everything he needs to create a variety of cocktails, including high-quality spirits, mixers, and garnishes. It's a gift that keeps on giving and ensures he always has new recipes to try.

6. Mixology Classes or Workshops: If your son is looking to further develop his mixology skills, consider gifting him a mixology class or workshop experience. Look for local bartending schools or cocktail events where he can learn from professionals and gain insights into the art of mixology.

7. Personalized Bar Sign: Add a personalized touch to your son's mixology corner by gifting him a custom-made bar sign. Whether it bears his name, a catchy cocktail quote, or his favorite mixology-related phrase, this unique and personal gift will make him feel proud of his hobby.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that aligns with your son's interests and passions. By considering his love for mixology, you can find a special gift that will encourage and inspire him to continue exploring this enjoyable hobby.

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

“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.”
