Sometimes gifts don’t need to be unwrapped; they need to be poured. Whether your recipient is reaching for a cocktail shaker, a matcha whisk, or a spritz at midnight to ring in the new year, these boxes deliver personality, celebration, and simple deliciousness right to their door (be it “Compton, Long Beach, Inglewood!” see pick #1). They are perfect for the friend who always has something in their cup, whether it is chai, vino, or a little gin and juice.
Wally’s The Next Episode Basket
A nod to West Coast swagger and dinner-party vibes, this kit centers on a bottle of STILL G.I.N. (yes, from the Dre and Snoop collaboration). It is citrus-forward, clean, and infused with notes of tangerine, jasmine, and coriander. Add a jar of raspberry jam, honey, a three-piece shaker, a conical jigger, and a brass honey dipper, and you have a gift that is part cocktail kit and part vibe setter. It is perfect for anyone who feels the need to sip like a boss and celebrate like it is 1994.
Xander Soren “Toast The Coast” Pinot Trio
A curated three-bottle set of Pinot Noirs featuring a 2022 Sonoma Coast (black cherry, violet, spice), a 2019 Central Coast (dark cherries, chocolate-dipped raisins), and a rare 2018 Library release (red cherry, rhubarb, earthy shiitake). Elegant and gift worthy, it is the kind of trio that, for true wine lovers, channels the same complexity and charm that made Pinot Noir the cult favorite immortalized by Sideways.
Mionetto Spritz Bundle

Tip Top Build Your Own Bar Box
For classic cocktail lovers who do not want the fuss of bottles and mixers, Tip Top delivers ready-made versions of favorites, from Espresso Martinis to Negronis and Old Fashioneds, all in a can. It is great for people who like their drinks balanced and their bar carts low effort but very high reward. Because sometimes cocktail hour needs to happen on a Tuesday night in sweatpants with zero cleanup.
Matchaful Ritual Set
For tea lovers, calm seekers, or anyone whose idea of indulgence involves zen, repetitive movement filled with antioxidants (wax on, wax off). Matchaful’s ritual set comes with everything you need to begin, including a sustainable ceremonial-grade matcha, a bamboo whisk, bowl, scoop, and sifter. This is the ultimate gift for someone ready to swap their morning coffee for something a bit more meditative and a lot more green.
Ghia Originals Set
Not every party needs booze, and Ghia’s non-alcoholic apéritif set delivers on that. It is botanical, bitter, and bubbly, all without alcohol, added sugar, or artificial flavors. Ghia is a great gift for pregnant pals, designated drivers, or anyone who wants the vibe of a spritz without the hangover.
