The Cocktail Lover’s Wish List

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.

The guys on your gift list are, no doubt, a challenge to buy for. But here's an insider secret: When you don't know what to get your brother, your dad or a buddy, look to retailers that look and feel like them. When you browse Huckberry's wide range of goods, we bet you see something that reminds you of the man you're shopping for. At once rugged and refined, the adventurous outfitter has everything from well-made apparel and accessories to home goods along with a myriad of EDC items (and some fun grown-up toys) for the guy who lives an active, engaged and fearless life. This year's selection of tried-and-true gifts and gear combines an adventurous spirit with a cozy home life.
