1. Flaviar Half-Assed Christmas Gift
You could sign someone up for a membership to Flaviar - or opt for something from the Half-Assed Gift Collection for some holiday hijinks.It starts as a god-awful holiday gift, like a truly heinous snowman tie or a season’s greetings mug that looks like it was made on MS Paint. But upon further inspection, they’ll find that the half-assed gift includes a code to unlock a year-long Flaviar subscription.
By giving them a Flaviar Membership, they’ll expand their horizons through tasting and discovery of different Whiskies (and other Spirits) through quarterly deliveries of tasting boxes and full-size bottles, access to members only tasting events, monthly free shipping and more.
2. Personalised Whisky Stones

Since there are a number of different brands of Whisky stones out there, we have gone for the personalised kind. This just adds a little something more personal and means every time they enjoy a nice cold dram, they’ll be thinking of you!
3. Ian Buxton's Book: 101 Legendary Whiskies

Big kids too, are looking forward to finally being able to put the out of office on and switch off for a few days of eating and drinking like a king.Flaviar has the perfect way to mark down the days to the festive season with two booze-filled advent calendars.

Can't decide which to choose? Don't worry, this season only, we're offering a special package - Flaviar membership bundled with the Advent Calendar or 12 Days of Christmas, so your giftee can start their membership experience with a bang.
6. Diamond Whisky Glass
Everyone knows the Glencairn is probably the best and most popular Whisky glass, but this diamond glass is a lot more interesting to look at.
This is the perfect gift, especially if your giftee already has a Glencairn or something similar, as it gives them the option to just enjoy their dram out of a really cool looking glass.
7. Flaviar Distillery Tours
This is the gift that your friend or loved one will really thank you for. Rather than just another generic package under the tree of something they will never look at again, be a part of our distillery tours!We pulled some strings and made it possible for our members to see the backstage of certain distilleries, getting the VIP treatment, exclusive access to their secrets, special pricing on all their products, and a unique blending experience.

8. Royal Doulton Whisky Decanter Set

Decanters are a great idea, especially at Christmas time when drinks are flowing. This is a gift that can be used as soon as it’s open and can add a nice feel to winding down on Christmas Day.
