Secret Santa Ideas for Gin&Tonic Fan

MeghanSparkle · 08/12/2018 09:01

My work Secret Santa is up to £15 (am happy to go over) and gifts now need to be in by this Tuesday [santa] - I’ve drawn a lovely colleague who was telling me only the other day that she asks her family not to buy for her at Christmas as she’d rather they spend on themselves...

She likes gin (particularly Hendricks) but already has lots in... I was thinking of getting a selection of nice/ unusual tonics (maybe from Waitrose) or the Fevertree cocktail book but wondered if anyone had a better suggestion?

Get her Edinburgh Gin liqueur. The rhubarb & ginger one is gorgeous. Or they also do a lovely plum and vanilla gin within your price if you buy online. Aldi and Lidl do nice flavoured gins too. I picked up a plum and clementine gin in Aldi, proper Christmas gin. How about a nice pair of gin balloon glasses?

My secret Santa this year is a huge gin fan too. I got this which was £12 and a little sipsmith mini

I think glasses (or even just one) is a great idea and so is a couple of tonics - fevertree have a clementine one which I've bought for stockings this year. If she has lots of gin already I'm not sure I'd buy her anymore, but if you see something particularly unusual I can see why you might want to. I really like gin but I wouldn't personally want a book about it.

I love G and T and would love a gift of Angostura bitters to go with - or these look good Xmas Wink

JohnLewis sell gin and tonic jellies I've bought for my dad - £15 and all individually wrapped which is good

Ikea have some great gin glasses.
Maybe do the bits to drink gin, rather than the gin it's self, and some expensive tonics...
Then put just add gin on the card.

We have bought a gin loving friend a set of gin infusions and a mixing spoon. That was around £15, and comes in a lovely hessian gifting bag.

Nothing gin themed or meant to taste like gin. They are tat and they don’t.

You can get a fever tree set with a couple of mini gins for about£15. Or Sainsbury’s sell loads of miniatures get Whitley, Edinburgh Ophir etc

Exception to gin themed is penhaligons juniper perfume but above your price range.

Best gin is Harris but it is £40 a bottle and only available directly

Wow some great ideas! Now I just have to decide between them... Thank you all Flowers GinGlitterball

I’m a big gin fan. But agree with whoever else said don’t go for Gin flavoured sweets, candles etc.
I saw this snow globe and it was lovely, would make a great secret Santa gift!

I like the gin baubles very much too!

Lazysundaymorning1 · 08/12/2018 21:16

I brought my friend two gin glasses that say "your gin" and "my gin" and a shimmery powder to put in the gin which makes it look pretty apparently! This came to around £15.
