Adding a personalised touch to gifts for loved ones is a great way to make them feel like they’re receiving something that is meant just for them. From little notes to picking out something they might truly enjoy, DIY-ing can be a cost-effective, sentimental and memorable way of going about gifting. With connoisseurs of spirit – especially in the case of gin lovers – making something that echoes their affinity towards the liquor is definitely something that they’d appreciate. The essence lies in unveiling surprises that resonate with the tastes and preferences – by presenting an elegantly designed box, harbouring not just a bottle of gin but an ensemble of hand-picked elements tailored to elevate their cocktail experience.

Curate The Perfect Kit


Once you’ve shortlisted a gin that the recipient’s gin palate will appreciate, each bottle sets the tone for a tailor-made adventure in mixology. Add a few more touches alongside the bottle – consider picking from a collection of cocktail essentials like mixing tools, stunning glassware or perhaps a curated cocktail recipe guide, carefully selected to complement the gin. Personalization is key to elevate the kit from a mere present to a heartfelt token of appreciation.

DIY Creativity


Infuse some more DIY charm to your hamper by considering the addition of homemade syrups that use fresh fruit or herbs, prompting the recipient to experiment with unique flavour profiles while making a cocktail. Alternatively, a selection of store-bought garnishes and bitters could also do the trick by inspiring creativity and exploration, transforming an ordinary cocktail into a masterpiece.

Making a DIY gift is not only a great opportunity to connect and relish the joy you see on the face of a loved one, it also is sure to make the staunchest of critics feel special. Meaningful presents such as a full gift kit also encourages the receiver to spend more quality time with themselves or enjoy hosting friends in their personal spaces. What’s even better is that you could also share these moments with them, trying out different mixology techniques as well as learning to shake up a cocktail or two yourself.

Given how special and popular gin has gone on to become over the years, it is fitting that a DIY cocktail kit would only enhance the experience even more. If nothing, you could simply create one to gift to yourself as a pick-me-up on a bad day!
