Five Star Gift Ideas

For your husband who enjoys mixology and experimenting with cocktails, there are many exciting and thoughtful gift options to consider. Here are a few ideas to inspire you:

1. Cocktail Making Kit: Invest in a high-quality cocktail making kit that includes essential tools like a shaker, muddler, jigger, strainer, and mixing spoon. Look for a kit that also includes a cocktail recipe book to provide your husband with inspiration for his next creations.

2. Premium Spirits: Help your husband expand his collection of spirits by gifting him a bottle of his favorite liquor or an artisanal spirit that he hasn't tried before. You can also consider gifting him a gift set of mini bottles, which will allow him to experiment with different flavors without committing to a full-sized bottle.

3. Mixology Books: There are several books available that delve into the art of mixology, providing detailed recipes and techniques. Look for books that explore unique and innovative cocktail creations, such as "The Aviary Cocktail Book" by Grant Achatz and Nick Kokonas or "Death & Co: Modern Classic Cocktails" by David Kaplan and Nick Fauchald.

4. Craft Bitters and Syrups: Consider gifting your husband a selection of craft bitters and syrups to elevate his cocktail game. These additions can add complexity and depth to his creations. Look for unique flavors like lavender, cherry tobacco, or cardamom. You can also try creating your own homemade bitters or syrups to make the gift even more personal.

5. Cocktail Subscription Box: Surprise your husband with a monthly cocktail subscription that delivers new and exciting ingredients directly to his doorstep. These boxes often include curated spirits, mixers, bitters, and even recipe cards. Some popular options include Shaker & Spoon, SaloonBox, and Taster's Club.

6. Mixology Classes: If your husband is interested in further honing his mixology skills, consider gifting him a mixology class or workshop. This could be a local class at a nearby cocktail bar or a virtual class that allows him to learn from renowned mixologists from the comfort of home.

7. Customized Barware: Personalize your gift by getting your husband some customized barware, such as engraved cocktail glasses or a monogrammed cocktail shaker. These unique touches will make his mixology experience even more special.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that aligns with your husband's passions and interests. By acknowledging his love for mixology, you're showing him that you support and appreciate his creative endeavors.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.

Burcin Dalkanat says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“It was such a sentimental and romantic present for my husband's birthday (since he is so into astronomy and the moon on the background). The order came super well packaged, and now it is the gem in the basement :)”
