Not all gifts can be both luxurious and utilitarian. But there's something about cocktail gifts this time of year. They're indulgent, and yet also seem somewhat essential. After all, it's a season for celebration. And for family gatherings—which comes with a license for liberal imbibing. If you're not already adept at crafting a cocktail for yourself and friends, then hopefully you know someone who takes on that responsibility with great care and pride. That VIP is to whom this gift guide is aimed at, and we can assure you these gifts are 100% winners. In other words, there are no whiskey stones in this round up.
