The Last-Minute Present Cocktail Fans Will Love
CREATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH GIFTY
Gifty is a small, independent business that was formed during the second lockdown and launched just this month. Inspired by the sense of occasion that surrounds the first cocktail of the evening, Gifty sells a range of customisable, drinkable gift experiences – from dirty martinis to alcoholic hot chocolates complete with toasted marshmallows.
Bored of generic gift boxes and naff personalised cards, or disappointed in gifts lacking the effort and attention of a handpicked present? Gifty also aims to combine the thoughtfulness of a carefully chosen gift with the convenience of online shopping. Each luxe alcohol and cocktail gift set is personalised for the recipient and comes beautifully wrapped – perfect for anyone who tends to leave their Christmas shopping to the last minute.
Interested? Here’s how it works…
1. Select your gift
The company currently offers two gifting options: a curated selection of winning combinations – think martinis with olives and rhubarb gin with pink glass straws – and a bespoke option, where customers can build the perfect present from an excellent line-up of spirits and accessories. Gifty’s curated selections are all about enhancing the occasion – it’s not just about giving a bottle of booze, it’s about creating the perfect evening in. Meanwhile, its bespoke gifts are all about tailoring your present to perfection – you’ll be able to choose a bottle of alcohol, plus one or two other items from Gifty’s product list, such as cocktail-making items, ingredients, snacks and games.
2. Choose your occasion
Whether you're sending a Christmas gift or just fancy treating someone you love, there’s a gift for every occasion. Once you’ve chosen your present, it will be beautifully gift wrapped and you’ll be given the chance to write a message on one of the brand’s personalised cards.
3. Delivery
When your order has been dispatched, you’ll be sent a message with all the tracking information you need. Your package will typically be delivered in two-three days.
