Top 5 Gifts for the Bartender
1) Bar Cutting Board
This customizable birch cutting board is Made in the USA and features a pewter bezel.
2) Cross-Back Denim Apron
This denim apron takes a utilitarian approach to keeping you clean in the kitchen. Pure cotton denim is the aprons’ durable base, and there are perfectly-sized pockets for a notebook and pens. The cross-back construction opens up your range of motion and, because it doesn’t tie around the neck, it creates less stress there during long baking sessions.
3) Floral Marble Coaster Set
India & Purry by Jessica Hollander: Floral Marble Coaster Set - Peach Poppies on Snow
4) Cool ID Tumbler - Set of 2
Say cheers to ceramic tumblers that keep beverages perfectly chilled. Submerge the tumblers in cool water to activate their natural cooling properties. This ceramic absorbs the water quickly, leaving the surface dry, so there’s no condensation, inside or out. Your drinks stay cool for hours. The matte surface is sophisticated and also acts as a chalkboard if you want to write on it.
5) Chardonnay Go Adult Board Game
Ready, set, Chardonnay Go! This wine-fueled and themed board game is packed with hilarious questions and make-you-blush dares. Travel through the vineyard-inspired game board with the goal of reaching the tasting room. If you can make it without falling over with laughter (or spilling your wine), we salute you.
