Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son enjoys learning to bartend, there are many great gift ideas that can encourage and enhance his passion. Here are a few suggestions that might make his Christmas extra special:

1. Bartending Course or Workshop: Consider enrolling your son in a bartending course or workshop. This could range from a basic mixology class to an advanced course on crafting cocktails. It will provide him with valuable knowledge, techniques, and hands-on experience to further develop his skills.

2. Cocktail Recipe Books: Help expand your son's bartending repertoire by gifting him a collection of cocktail recipe books. There are numerous options available, ranging from classic mixes to modern and experimental creations. Look for books with vibrant photographs and detailed instructions that spark creativity and inspire him to experiment with different flavors.

3. Bartending Tools and Barware: To assist your son in his bartending adventures, gift a set of high-quality bartending tools. This may include a cocktail shaker, strainer, muddler, measuring jigger, bar spoon, and a stylish mixing glass. Additionally, consider adding unique glassware, such as cocktail coupes, highballs, or even a customized cocktail muddler with his name or initials.

4. Premium Spirits or Craft Cocktail Kits: Elevate your son's bartending experience by gifting him premium spirits or a craft cocktail kit. Select a bottle of his favorite liquor, such as a limited-edition whiskey or a small-batch gin. Alternatively, craft cocktail kits offer a curated selection of ingredients, mixers, and garnishes accompanied by recipe cards, allowing him to create high-quality cocktails at home.

5. Personalized Bar Sign or Decor: Commemorate your son's passion for bartending with personalized bar signs or decor items. Get creative and design a customized sign with his name and a funky bartending-related slogan. Alongside this, you could add other decorative elements such as vintage bar posters, quirky neon lights, or unique coasters to enhance the ambiance of his home bar setup.

6. Subscription to a Cocktail Recipe Box: Surprise your son with a subscription to a cocktail recipe box service. These services deliver carefully curated ingredients, recipes, and instructions to his doorstep, allowing him to create a variety of cocktails each month. This unique gift will enable him to explore new flavors and techniques while expanding his bartending skills.

Remember, the most meaningful gift comes from understanding and supporting your loved one's passions. By selecting a gift that aligns with his interests in bartending, you're not only showing your support but also providing him with opportunities to develop his skills and explore his passion even further.

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.”
