The holidays are coming, the holidays are coming! O, come let us be prepared for this festive yet stressful time of year with well-planned gifts for the beverage-lover in your life. November’s We Dig will feature presents promised to please the drink enthusiast, from cocktail apps to ice cube molds and more.
The Perfect Drink App and Scale: There’s an art to mixing the perfect cocktail that’s obtained over years of experience. For those who are impatient and would just rather be perfect right now instead, there’s The Perfect Drink App and Scale—the ultimate kitchen and/or party tool for crafting popular adult beverages. The scale, tablet/phone stand and a shaker cost $50, app for Android or iOS downloaded separately. || Order here.
Personalized Mini Whiskey Barrel: For the whiskey connoisseur in your life who already has every bottle you could imagine, plus some elegant glassware to go with it all, how about a personalized mini whiskey barrel? This tiny oak barrel is fully functional for rapidly aging a small batch of whiskey, or with its classic personalized engraving, it could just make for some great home décor. UncommonGoods sells them for $85-220. || Order here.
Vaportini: If hover cars are the next evolutionary step for the wheel, then Vaportini is the next evolutionary step for beverages. Instead of drinking your next cocktail, try inhaling it with a Vaportini kit. Using just a tea candle, this system slowly vaporizes the alcohol allowing you to sip a boozy mist in a futuristic looking glass orb. And it’s more than just a fancy gimmick—because alcohol is going straight into your bloodstream by way of your lungs, no calories or carbs are consumed, and even better still is you get to feel the effects of the alcohol much quicker. Vaportini offers a few different kits for $35-62. || Order here.
Leonora Cheese Board and Cheese Knife Set: A cheese plate is one of those things that people feel like they don’t need until they have a bunch of people and wonder what they’re going to serve it on. “Will I scratch my dinning plates with the cheese knife?” “Are my regular cutting boards getting kind of raggedy?” What better time than now to finally get your friend that gift they’ve been meaning to buy forever. This cheese board has dedicated spaces for the cheese and crackers, in addition to a hidden drawer hiding a cheese knife, spreader and fork. HomeWetBar.com is selling them for $40. || Order here.
Thrills Ice Ball Mold: Looking for a great little stocking-stuffer for your friend or family member who prefers their drinks on the rocks? This ice ball mold offers a fun and different way to chill your drink. Some claim it gets your drink colder or keeps it colder longer, but whether that’s true or not, it just looks cool. BrookStone is selling them for $11. || Order here.
