1. Carter McGuyer Bar Tools, Crate & Barrel

Crate & Barrel has always been a haven for Christmas shoppers. Skip the home section and head straight for the bar tools. Designed by Carter McGuyer, the bar tool collection includes everything a person needs to shake, stir, and garnish. Choose from the Carter pitcher, double-walled ice bucket, ice tongs, cocktail shaker, springed strainer, jigger, muddler, and whisk or buy the whole Carter Bar Tool Set, which includes an all-purpose bar knife, a citrus peeler with scoring blade, a bottle opener, a citrus zester, and a walnut wood stand currently at 20% off at Crate & Barrel. The Carter bar tool collection is a good gift for someone building his home bar. This is also a great gift for your significant other who’s willing to make you drinks—that way it can be a gift for yourself too.

2. Rémy Martin Gift Box

Every year Rémy Martin offers quintessential gift sets for the cognac lovers. This year they commissioned special gift boxes inspired by the works of celebrated French artist Vincent Leroy to create a kinetic sculptural masterpiece entitled Red Ripples. According to Remy Martin, “Red Ripples is a series of mirrored concentric circles connected by lightweight mechanisms. The work captivates with its seamless motion, a peaceful invitation to sit back and reflect on the myriad eaux-de-vie, colours, tastes, and aromas that compose a fine Rémy Martin cognac.”

The gift set package design comes in Rémy Martin VSOP, Rémy Martin CLUB, and Rémy Martin XO, and includes a collectible miniature of the Rémy Martin’s premium cognacs. This collectible gift item is already available nationwide.
