Thank you gift ideas that really show your gratitude

Gifts for your co-worker

For your work wife who always makes time to listen to you vent, to the teammate who always comes through with the funny memes on the chat, and the inspiring manager turned friend who always sees your full potential, a "thank you" gift can say so much. It's such a nice way to show how much you appreciate them. But what to gift? A bottle of their favourite sip and one that matches their personality is the way to go. If it's for someone you know really well, like your work bestie, you'll know what she likes to drink – you've had how many happy hour venting sessions after work in the bar across the road? If she likes gin, you can't go wrong with Tanqueray No. TEN. The classic Art Deco bottle alone is enough to get her excited. If it's a work colleague you don't know too well, like the smiley co-worker who stepped in to help you on a project, a crowd-pleasing choice bottle of gin, like Gordon’s London Dry Gin, will go down well.

Gifts for the friend who takes their drinks neat

So, if you want to thank a loved one who has the finest taste and their go-to drink is tequila, why not do it with a bottle of the iconic Don Julio 1942 Tequila? The bottle itself is pretty striking, with its sleek, tall shape and wooden cork top, meaning this is definitely something they’ll want to display. Or if the person will only sip their tequila neat or mixed in a tequila Old Fashioned, a bottle of Don Julio Anejo Tequila is the one, thanks to its rich aroma and soft and smooth flavour.

Gifts for the ones who love all things whisky

Stirred into a cocktail, neat, or a dram, whisky makes an incredible gift. If your brother is a big whisky lover, and you're looking for a gift to thank him for helping you with the house move or just to remind him he is the best, why not gift him with a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label? It's a really luxurious gift, with only 1 in 10,000 casks of ageing Scotch considered to have the remarkable depth needed to craft a whisky this exceptionally smooth. But this isn’t designed to sit on a shelf and gather dust – this bottle is there to be enjoyed, however your loved one prefers.

If your giftee loves the smooth and bold taste of bourbon, a bottle of Bulleit Bourbon Whiskey is the one. Bourbon is the main spirit in lots of whiskey-based cocktails, like the classic Whiskey Sour, so if they’re something of a mixologist, Bulleit is a great addition to their cocktail shelf. Another idea is to send them glassware as a gift – a nice set of whisky glasses to elevate their cocktails and drinking experience. And if they are someone who sees themselves as quite the whisky connoisseur, they’ll appreciate the thought you've put into choosing the proper glassware.

Gifts for the host with the most

We all have that one friend who makes hosting look easy. They love to host. They do it often and always seem to look relaxed. They're also the type who always has the 'right' glassware for serving crowd-pleasing cocktails and all the bar tools to pull them off. If you're after a thoughtful gift as a small token of appreciation to say, "thank you for having me," an affordable bottle of gin like Gordon's is enough to make them smile.

Or say a bright and fruity thank you with a bottle of Tanqueray Flor De Sevilla distilled gin. It's beautifully distilled with bittersweet Seville oranges and orange blossoms for an enjoyable gin that brings Mediterranean vibes with it on every occasion.

Gifts for the non-drinkers

You want to show your appreciation to your mum for all she does, or to your bestie because she's been really supportive during the challenging time you've had lately, and they prefer something a bit different to alcohol. No problem! Help them create the non-alcoholic cocktails they love with an alcohol-free sip that shows you've been paying attention. Treat them to a bottle of Gordon's Premium Pink 0.0% they can use it to whip up a tasty Gordon's Pink 0.0% and Tonic.

Or say thank you with Seedlip - it's made from six botanicals and spices from around the world, individually distilled and blended to create a tasty flavour. They can use the Seedlip Grove 42 to mix up a Grove Garden 108 for a Garden Sour, and the Spice 94 served with tonic over ice and garnished with a pink grapefruit peel.
