The best gifts for gin lovers
Personalised Gin And Tonic Print
That's how the saying goes right? Who needs lemonade when you can get your hands on a G&T. This colourful print is a fab gift for gracing their kitchen wall and you can personalise it too with a short message underneath.
Gin Infusing Kit
This set gives you the ingredients and botanicals that you need to batch up four bottles of flavoured gin: Pink gin, Chocolate Orange, Tea party, and Citrus burst. Perfect for the gin lover who likes their own personal version of a gin.
Amazon Handmade Personalised Gin Glass
Serve that gift-lover with their own tall stemmed gin glass, but with a special twist. This gin glass from Amazon Handmade can be personalised with your choice of text across three lines. We're thinking something the lines of, "Keep off, this gin is mine!"
Cooper King Gin Selection Box
Not only is Cooper King delivering quality gin with exciting flavours, but the brand is also sustainable and eco-friendly – claiming to be England’s first carbon negative gin distillery. Small batches of gin from this independent brand ensure high-quality drinks – and this letterbox-friendly gift box of three of their best flavours is exceptional. Pure, soft, and smooth, this gin isn’t for any old gathering, but rather a sophisticated evening by the log burner with a Border Terrier at your feet. Ideal for sending in the post to friends and family in far-off places.
Choc On Choc Emergency Chocolate Gin And Tonic Set
We can't compile a gift list (or wishlist) without including some novelty chocolates. We love Choc On Choc, not just for their fun designs but because the chocolate is really thick and luxurious.
Bathtub Gin & Enamel Mug Gift Pack
Bathtub Gin is a favourite of ours, and not just because we like the design of the bottle (although that does play a part). It's a premium gin: "double infused with six botanicals for seven days for extra flavour". A bottle of this on its own is treat enough, but buy this set and get a cool enamel mug to go with it – a fun way to present gin cocktails.
Set Of Two Geo Glasses
Our Editor bought these for her brother-in-law for Christmas last year (he's also a gin fanatic), and she loved them so much she bought a pair for herself too. A stylish alternative to the tall stemmed gin glasses, the geometric design is very on-trend, and you can use these as decorative glasses when you're not drinking from them.
M&S All Things Gin Gift Box
A bottle of zesty citrus gin, refreshing Indian tonic water, a box of gin truffles (yum!), and a gorgeous G&T candle – this is a lovely set of things a gin lover will adore and a perfect little gift set for Mother's Day or other special occasions.
Spreadable Gin
Gin and tonic marmalade? G&T on your toast in the morning? Yes. And honestly, it tastes good. It's a bit looser in texture than your normal marmalade, but it has a subtle hint that gin lovers will appreciate. Something to perk up your breakfasts without drinking too early in the morning.
The Bombay Sapphire Distillery Self Discovery Tour With Gin Cocktail For Two
This voucher entitles two gin lovers to explore the Bombay Sapphire Distillery in Hampshire, including a gin cocktail each. The tour (which you undertake yourself in your own time, plus a guided tour of the Dakin Still House) should take between 1 to 2 hours.
Flagingo Collector's Edition Presentation Pack 50cl
If you're buying for a lover of pink gin, then this fun Fla-gin-go is a must - not only is it a gorgeous pink gin with flavours of mango, pineapple, passion fruit, allspice and ginger, but it comes in a special presentation box. It's Limited Edition, though, so get your claws on it while you can.
Biscuiteers Gin & Tonic Letterbox Gift Box
This thoughtful Gin & Tonic letterbox gift box from the Biscuiteers includes some expertly iced lemon biscuits designed to look just like the real thing, and comes with a bottle of their very own sloe gin bramble cocktail, perfect for Mother's Day.
CleanCo Clean G Rhubarb
The sad truth is we can't drink gin on every occasion and whatever reason for 'not drinking' - whether you're on a health kick, it's a personal choice, or you're usually the designated driver - CleanCo has a delicious gin alternative with a fruity rhubarb twist. It's full of flavour without being full of alcohol and best of all, hangover free.
Cooper King Sharing Selection
A set of three craft gins, including Dry Gin, Berry & Basil, and Herb Gin, brings the Cooper King distillery to you. You also get serving and tasting guides – although we can assure you that they're all pretty good with some tonic. What more do you need.
'Thick And Gin' Enamel Pin Badge
A cute little present or stocking filler for your friend who loves you as much as they love gin. We love an enamel badge, and one that reminds everyone of our G&T obsession is a winner.
That Boutique-y Gin Company 12 Dram Collection
This gift set features 12 30ml bottles of special gin, with flavours including Spit-Roasted Pineapple, Cold-Brew Coffee, Rhubarb Triangle, and Chocolate Cherry. It's perfect for doing a boujee at-home taster sesh, or to keep them stocked up on fun flavours for while.
Gin Chocolate Truffles Collection Gift Box
Gin plus chocolate is a delicious combination, and no gin-lover will be able to keep their paws off this selection box. Beautifully packaged, they can pick and choose from a collection of hand-crafted gin-inspired truffles including Gin & Tonic, Raspberry Gin, Pink Gin and Seville Orange Gin.
Colour Changing Gin Infusing Kit
Using blue pea flowers, this kit enables you to make five bottles of gin which changes colour when you add tonic – from a blueish purple colour to pink. Good fun and great for sharing with that special someone.
'All Gins Bright And Beautiful' Gin Tea Towel
Lovingly illustrated by 'Of Life & Lemons', this fun and colourful tea towel is an ode to one of the greats - gins in all their glory. A fab gift and addition to the tea towel drawer, it's the ultimate washing-up accessory to make cleaning less of a chore.
Craft Gin Club Mixology Bundle
This collection of fabulous cocktail syrups from the Craft Gin Club is the perfect way for your gin-obsessed friend to shake up their cocktail game at home. Each can be used to create a super delicious gin cocktail with Pink Gin Spritz, Peach Gin Iced Tea, Gin Star Martini, and Cosmopoli-gin mixes.
Gin The Mood - Cocktail Recipe Book
Failing that, treat them to their own gin recipe book so they can make a whole bunch of cocktails to bring the good times. From classics to cutting-edge concoctions, guaranteed they'll want to show off their new skills at your next gathering. We're not complaining!
Made and Sent Overdid The Gin Wellbeing Kit
We love gin but the morning off? Maybe not so pretty. This little rescue kit is perfect for nursing that gin hangover with soothing organic bath oil, a natural pillow mist, eye cream to help revitalise tired eyes, and a Rose Quartz stone to aid inner healing. Watch that headache drift away.
NIO Cocktails Portofino Dry Gin Cocktail Box
Available to order just in time for Mother's Day, treat your mum to a letterbox delivery of four classic gin cocktails inspired by Portofino's rugged hills. Expect Ligurian flavours, aromatic Italian herbs, and a delicious drink that'll transport them to the Mediterranean coast.
Hendricks 70cl
If in doubt, buy some Hendricks. You really can't go wrong.
