I polled my audience over on stories this year and they wanted to see some family gifts this year that were a bit out-of-the-box! So I had a lot of fun putting this one together!

After spending soooo much time inside, the food lover in your life might be feeling particularly uninspired, but the items on this list might be just the kick they need to try something new. The absolute best gift for a gourmand is scoring them that impossible-to-get reservation at that impossibly good restaurant and footing the bill for its impossibly complex tasting menu with wine pairing. But most of us would like to stay in the realm of achievable, not impossible, when shopping for a foodie around the holidays. That's not to say this is an easy undertaking.

Regardless of what holidays you celebrate, I think we can all agree that we could use a drink. LOL! It’s been another year of craziness.

Whether it’s a toast to better days ahead, or a cocktail with our vaccinated friends, these gifts for mixologists are sure to bring joy. Plus, if you live in the same house as your favorite cocktail lover, it’s also a gift for you. (my personal fave) I have purchased almost everything listed here and only include the things I truly love. The cocktail lovers in your life are sure going to appreciate anything on this guide!!! And yes, yes, yes………. TO BETTER DAY AHEAD PLEASE!!!!!!
