Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son has a passion for cocktail making and mixology, there are plenty of gift options that can help him enhance his skills and explore new techniques. Here are some meaningful and personal gift ideas for him:

1. Cocktail Recipe Book: Look for a cocktail recipe book that includes a wide variety of drink recipes, from classic cocktails to modern creations. This will not only provide him with inspiration but also help expand his knowledge and expertise.

2. Barware Set: A high-quality barware set can be a great addition to his arsenal. Look for one that includes essential tools like a shaker, jigger, muddler, strainer, and mixing spoon. Opt for stainless steel or copper varieties for durability and aesthetics.

3. Craft Cocktail Ingredients: Help him experiment with new flavors by gifting him a variety of craft cocktail ingredients. Look for unique bitters, flavored syrups, and specialty spirits that can elevate his cocktails to the next level.

4. Cocktail Making Kit: Consider getting him a curated cocktail making kit that includes all the essentials needed to create amazing drinks. Some kits even come with a selection of premium spirits, mixers, and garnishes, making it a complete package for him to try out new recipes.

5. Bartending Classes or Workshops: Treat him to a bartending class or workshop where he can learn from professionals and improve his mixology skills. This type of experiential gift will allow him to interact with like-minded individuals and expand his knowledge in a hands-on environment.

6. Personalized Cocktail Tools: Engraving his name or initials on key cocktail tools like shakers or mixing spoons can add a personalized touch to his barware collection. This will make his gift extra special and something he can cherish for years to come.

7. Cocktail Subscription Box: Consider signing him up for a cocktail subscription box service. These services deliver unique and curated cocktail kits right to his doorstep, complete with all the ingredients and recipes he needs to create delicious drinks. It's a gift that keeps on giving throughout the year.

8. Home Bar Decor: Help him create a stylish and well-stocked home bar by gifting him some decor items. Look for vintage-inspired signs, artwork, or wall-mounted liquor shelves to enhance the ambiance of his mixing space.

Remember to consider his personal taste and preferences when selecting a gift. By choosing something that aligns with his specific interests in cocktail making and mixology, you'll not only show him that you care but also support his passion.

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.”
