10 Unique Gifts for the Wine Lover Who Has Everything

This has to be the number one item on my things-I-can't-justify-buying-for-myself wishlist. As an avid boxed wine drinker, I would LOVE something like this for when I’m feeling extra fancy. Class that cardboard up -- no one needs to know it's Franzia underneath! Bedeck your boxed wine in the little black dress it deserves.

This is a fantastic gift for your thrifty friend who likes hosting parties. Hilariously frivolous and unnecessary to life, but that’s what gifts are for, right?!

While we're on the subject of boxed wine, here’s another BRILLIANT gift for the boxed wine drinker in your life. Basically a briefcase for your wine.

This would be amazing at the pool or beach -- no glass, no need to haul a heavy cooler, no clean up. Practicality at it’s finest.

Perfect for your crafty (or hoarder-y) friends who have a ton of wine corks lying around.

This lamp base is adorable and will match pretty much any house decor. It's also not as played out as every other overly elaborate DIY cork craft that Facebook advertisers flood into my newsfeed daily.

I am very over online wine subscriptions. They’re overpriced and impersonal. Avoid them at all costs (namely, actual cost).

Instead, give your friends a club membership to a local wine store! Almost every wine store has a club that picks out special bottles for their members each month and offers awesome discounts.

They're usually very reasonably priced as well -- the club I joined is only $25 a month, which includes two amazing bottles of wine a month and great in-store discounts. It's perfect for your friend who already has everything and is truly a gift that keeps on giving.

I have a whole post on the 5 most amazing wine experience to give the wine lover in your life. You can never go wrong with gifting an experience AND you can be positive the person doesn’t already own it. Wine dinners, classes, tastings, and trips are some of the most fun, thoughtful gifts you can give.

But again, I’ve already written about them. So go read that!

I’m sure you’ve seen these before — but hear me out. You don’t want your wine to get warm, or make your purse wet, or for your hands to have to come into contact with the chilly and/or cumbersome exterior of the bottle.

Full disclosure: I received this as a birthday gift and it CHANGED MY LIFE. It's everything in one bag.

This set includes four wine glasses, an opener and stopper, a bamboo cheese board, and a knife, so you don't need to worry about bringing anything additional to your picnic other than the actual wine and a block of cheese.

I usually don’t suggest books as gifts, but this one is pretty special. Almost any wine lover would get a kick out of it and it's educational. Who in their right mind wouldn't want to scratch and sniff wine out of a book?

I think I've found a new hobby. Best coffee table book of all time.

Speaking of hobbies, this + a bottle of wine = the ultimate gift for your friend who picks up a new hobby every week.

I purchased this for a cheese-obsessed friend and they had a blast going through the recipes and making their own homemade cheeses. (And I had a blast eating pounds upon pounds of that delicious coagulated dairy.)

There are a bunch of these kits out there, but if you’re buying for a wine-o, I would opt for a hard cheese kit like this one as opposed to a mozzarella/ricotta kit. The hard cheese kits are more advanced, but they’ll go better with the bottle of Bordeaux Blanc you threw in.*

*That said, every cheese goes with wine. Get the mozzarella kit if you want.

Whoops -- my millennial is showing! But come on, it’s a rosé candle! Everyone loves candles and everyone (who matters) loves rosé.

It’s a smaller gift, but you really can’t go wrong here. I promise your friend already has a red wine candle.* Do this instead.

*If your friend *is* more of a red wine drinker, I’m a big fan of this cabernet candle infused with “Long-Ass Days” made by Malicious Women Candle Co. A truly badass business with wonderfully hilarious products.

Most people don’t need more wine glasses. However, these are for your fabulous friend who loves to treat themselves daily. When I ask any of my friends what their favorite wine glass brand is, they say Camille. Not because they actually own a set, but because they want to very badly.
