Five Star Gift Ideas

For a wife who enjoys experimenting with mixology and cocktail making, there are plenty of thoughtful and unique gift options you can consider for Valentine's Day. Here are a few ideas that may inspire you:

1. Mixology Set: Surprise your wife with a high-quality mixology set that includes essential tools like a shaker, muddler, jigger, strainer, and bar spoon. Look for a set that comes with a stylish carrying case or a stand for added convenience.

2. Artisanal Spirits: Help enhance your wife's mixology adventures by gifting her a selection of artisanal spirits. Whether it's a premium bottle of gin, tequila, or rum, choose a spirit that she doesn't have in her collection. You can also explore local distilleries for unique and small-batch options.

3. Cocktail Recipe Book: Expand your wife's mixology repertoire by giving her a cocktail recipe book. Look for one that offers a wide variety of recipes, from classic cocktails to more adventurous and contemporary creations. Alternatively, consider a book that focuses on specific themes such as vintage cocktails, seasonal drinks, or international recipes.

4. Mixology Class or Workshop: Treat your wife to a mixology class or workshop where she can learn new techniques and recipes. Many cities offer cocktail-making courses, either online or in-person, which can be a fun and educational experience for her to enjoy.

5. Unique Bitters or Syrups: Help your wife take her cocktails to the next level by gifting her a set of unique bitters or syrups. These flavor enhancers can add depth and complexity to her creations. Look for artisanal brands that offer interesting flavor combinations like lavender, cardamom, or smoked chili.

6. Personalized Barware: Consider personalized barware like engraved cocktail glasses, monogrammed decanters, or custom-made coasters. These personalized touches will not only make her feel special but also add a sophisticated touch to her mixology setup.

7. Subscription Box: Surprise your wife with a cocktail-themed subscription box that delivers curated ingredients and recipes directly to her doorstep each month. These boxes often feature unique spirits, mixers, garnishes, and recipe cards, providing her with new ingredients to experiment with regularly.

8. Cocktail Garnish Kit: Enhance your wife's cocktail presentation by gifting her a cocktail garnish kit. This might include ingredients like Luxardo cherries, cocktail olives, gourmet pickles, or dehydrated fruit slices. Look for unique and high-quality options that will elevate the visual and taste experience of her cocktails.

Remember to also include a heartfelt note expressing your love and appreciation for her interest in mixology. It's not only about the gift itself but the thought and effort you put into selecting something that aligns with her passion.

Or you can get her a star map with the date of your first kiss.

“Ordered a map of the stars above us when my wife and I realized that we wanted a friendship to turn into something more - gave it to her yesterday (Valentine's Day) and got a most enthusiastic response. We are best pleased!”
