Whether the birthday of a relative is approaching or you want to send your friend a pick-me-up present, non-alcoholic gifts are a personal and smart way to show that special someone some love.
Wise Bartender aims to make present hunting as easy as sipping an ice cold G&T in the sun with this guide to non-alcoholic gifting.
Gifts Ideas for a Parent
Finding the perfect gift for a parent can be challenging, but our selection of non-alcoholic wines will leave them with a warm taste on their tongue.
For parents who love a cheese board, Darling Cellars Alcohol Free Shiraz Red Wine from South Africa is delectable, with notes of black pepper that pair splendidly with smoked cheddar and a side of chutney.
For a personal touch, gift with the taste of a home cooked meal paired with an Alt Organic Wine, or opt for our Belle & Co Wine and Chocolate Pack for dessert.
The way to someone’s heart is through their stomach after all.
Wedding Gift Ideas
Know a happy couple tying the knot? Send them off on their honeymoon in style.
Present them with a bouquet of beverages such as Wild Life Botanicals’ Nude Sparkling Wine or Bax Botanics’ alcohol free spirits. These floral drinks will be the perfect accompaniment to their wedded bliss.
If the couple are looking for their ‘something blue’, you could aid them with the gift of the tantalisingly tasty Sea Arch spirit. Wise Bartender, being privy to gift giving ourselves, sends out two FREE Double Dutch Tonics with every purchase of a 70cl bottle of Sea Arch, which combined with a bar of white chocolate, makes a wonderful wedding gift box for any newly married couple.
Alternatively, you could take the weight of wedding planning off their shoulders by offering to pay for a pop up bar to keep their wedding party happy. Alcohol free beverages offer fantastic refreshment for any event.
Gifts Ideas for a Friend
We all know that putting a smile on a friend’s face is priceless; whether you’re celebrating a promotion, birthday, or providing a pick-me-up, non-alcoholic drinks make a marvellous gift.
For the gin guzzling friend, a non-alcoholic spirit could be the ticket into their good-books. Tipples such as Seedlip and Stillers are the way to a botanical blend lover’s heart, or if they prefer a spicy spirit, wrap up a bottle of Caleno.
While you could allow them the option of using their go-to tonic, you could also provide them with a new taste sensation by also bringing Jeffrey’s Tonic Syrup selection to their attention.
Bring a Bottle to a Barbecue
It is commonplace to bring an offering to dinner parties and barbecues, and since a crate of beer is standard drinking practice, we recommend wowing your loved ones with non-alcoholic alternatives to their favourite beers and ciders.
For example, try bringing Stella Artois Alcohol Free Lager or Thatchers Zero that gives all the appley goodness of a fresh crisp cider but without the alcohol. Stowford Press and Kopperberg will likewise hit the spot.
Gift Hampers
Pairing alcohol with food is one of life’s pleasures, as is giving your loved one a gift they’ll never forget.
Choose one of Wise Bartender’s Drink and Food Hampers or put one together yourself. You could pair classic combinations like wine and cheese or beer and chocolate, or compile a selection of their favourite drinks and add various party snacks such as nuts and crisps. You might even consider adding non-edible gifts like a set of tumblers to enjoy their drinks out of.
A hand selected hamper is a fantastic way of showing your loved one that you care about them.
Subscription Box
While a bigger commitment than a one-off gift, a subscription box is actually one of the simplest ways of showing a friend or family member some ongoing love.
Luckily, Wise Bartender has a wide selection of subscription boxes so you are guaranteed to find one that suits your loved one’s tastes. If they’re a wine connoisseur, sign them up to our Club Soda Wine Subscription for a monthly delivery of alcohol-free wines. If they’re a lover of all things beer, get them hooked on a monthly beer subscription to expand their range.
The options are yours to explore.
Vegan and Gluten Free Gifts
We all know someone with a dietary requirement who feels like they’re missing out on some of the greatest drinks in life, but they don’t have to!
A wonderfully wide range of gluten free bottles and vegan tipples are at their fingertips, and you could show them exactly where to find them. We also have a remarkable selection of low sugar drinks.
Cocktail Gift Set
It can be tricky to recreate that cocktail bar atmosphere at home, especially if you’re trying to recreate mocktail versions of your favourite alcoholic drinks.
If you have a friend who is struggling with just this problem, then a non-alcoholic cocktail gift set is the perfect present for their special day.You can also find non-alcoholic cocktails in a can including Wise Bartender’s favourite Highball Cocktails as well as Nocktail’s 6 Can Mixed Pack that features alcohol free versions of the Mai Tai, Strawberry Daiquiri, and Mojito cocktails.
The perfect treat for that special someone who will be able to drink their most loved cocktail, even on weekdays.
Digital Gift Cards
If you’re certain that your friend, relative, or partner would love a non-alcoholic gift but are unsure which one they’d enjoy best, give them the gift of a gift card.
This way, they’ll get all the luxury of a non-alcoholic gift whilst also being able to browse their options and take their pick of all the delights that the alcohol-free world has to offer.
Wise Bartender aims to deliver only the best non-alcoholic beverages on the market for you and the ones you love.
