International Women's Day: Ultimate Guide For Gifts She'll Love
When Women's Day rolls around, the usual flowers and chocolates might spring to mind as gifts. But let's pivot to something a bit more spirited. For the woman who enjoys a good drink, why not curate a gift that speaks to her tastes? Here’s your ultimate guide to gifting for Women's Day.
The Artisan Cocktail Kit
Imagine a box that opens up to not just ingredients but an experience. For the DIY aficionado with a penchant for mixology, a bespoke cocktail kit is the way to go. Pick spirits that speak for themselves, like a bottle of Singleton 12 for the whisky lovers, Tanqueray for the gin enthusiasts, or Ketel One if vodka's more her style. Remember, we're keeping it classy—no more than 60 ml per serve.
But don’t stop there. Add in miniature bottles of complementary mixers, a chic jigger, and a personalised note that celebrates her choice. Perhaps suggest a Singleton 12 with a splash of dry vermouth and a dash of orange bitters for a twist on the classic martini. It's all about making her feel both celebrated and inspired.
The Glassware Glamour
Every distinguished drink deserves its own vessel. But we're not talking about any old glassware. Seek out pieces that are as unique as the women in your life—hand-blown wine glasses, vintage-inspired cocktail coupes, or artisanal rock glasses that feel good in the hand. For an added touch, consider getting them personalised. A monogrammed set of glasses elevates the home bar and serves as a lasting reminder of a day dedicated to them.
The Mixologist’s Bookshelf
For the woman who loves to dive deep into the world of spirits and cocktails, a selection of mixology books could be the perfect gift. Choose titles that range from classic cocktail recipes to the history of women in bartending. It’s a gift that admires their intellect as much as their taste buds.
The Subscription Surprise
Why limit the celebration to just one day? A subscription to a craft cocktail ingredient service can be the gift that keeps on giving. Each month, they’ll receive a box filled with premium mixers, unique garnishes, and recipe cards to explore. It’s like sending them on a global cocktail tour from the comfort of their own homes.
The Ultimate Cocktail Experience
Finally, for a truly unforgettable Women's Day gift, why not arrange for a private cocktail masterclass? Hire a top mixologist to provide hands-on experience, teaching the girls (and perhaps a few friends) how to craft perfect cocktails using premium spirits. It’s not just about learning the techniques; it's about creating memories that last far beyond the last sip.
This Women's Day, let's toast to the incredible women in our lives with gifts that reflect their tastes, their passions, and their unwavering strength.
While it's great to learn about alcohol, it is important to also consume it moderately. Remember to serve and drink responsibly to ensure you and your guests are out of harm's way. If you know anyone who has trouble controlling their alcohol intake, please refer them to a professional immediately.
