Christmas is fast approaching, and if you are anything like me you won’t have quite sorted all your Christmas gifts yet. I am feeling a bit unorganised this year because Christmas has really crept up. But fear not! I have compiled some of my favourite gifts for wine lovers that I have found. It may not help with all your Christmas shopping, but if you aren’t friends with some wine lovers what are you doing?
I did create one of these lists last year and to be honest, many of these gifts are still things you can and should buy. But in this 2019 edition, I have come up with some new ideas for the wine lovers in your life that suit any budget. Basically this is all stuff that I would also love, so Santa if you’re listening, I’ll take one of each!
I couldn’t limit it to 10, so here are 12 gifts for wine lovers, Cheeky Vino style! PS. I haven’t been asked to promote any of these items – I just love them.
Some portable wine glasses that keep your wine cool
Price: $80-$130
Perfect for: The wine lover who also loves picnics and camping
Buy from: Brumate
I’ve been eyeing these off all year because a. they keep targeting me on Instagram, and b. they look so cool! These are the perfect gift for the wine lover who loves to drink wine outside in nature. Picnics, camping or just general outings, sometimes you can’t keep your wine cold – especially in summer! So the solution is these cute wine insulators! The cups keep your wine cold if you are sipping from a bottle, and if you want to splash out, you can get a set that includes an insulated bottle! Simply pour your cold wine in, and the bottle will keep it cold for hours and hours. I personally love the sets with the bottle and two cups. It makes me think of going on picnics and having a glass or two of cold Rosé to cool down! But if you are on a budget, you could always get your wine friend one cup so they can enjoy cold beverages while everyone else sips on their lukewarm wine.
The best part is – these come in so many colours! Whether your friend loves glitter or wants something more refined, these portable wine glasses and bottle come in the best colour range!
A personalised wine glass so they’ll never lose their wine again
Price: <$50
Perfect for: The wine lover who is always losing their wine glass
Buy from: Hard to Find
There are so many personalised wine glasses on the market, and these make for a unique gift for wine lovers. It will also mean that the wine lover in your life will never lose their glass. No more drinking out of the wrong one!
I personally liked this one from Hard to Find because it had a unique style, and I love art deco anything. But if this isn’t for you, there are so many styles out there that you can find. There truly is something for everyone, and it makes for a unique gift!
An oven mit that screams ‘we’ve all been there’
Price: <$40
Perfect for: The wine lover who believes one glass is never enough
Buy from: Hard to Find
I had a chuckle when I saw this oven mitt, and I think I would also laugh every time I used it! This oven mitt gets me, and I think it would put a smile on any wine lovers face! Perfect for wine lovers who also love to cook, I think this would be a great addition to any kitchen.
A wine carafe that preserves your wine too
Price: <$300
Perfect for: The wine-lover who loves to aged wine
Buy from: eto wine
This is the most expensive gift on my list, so for the special someone in your life. I found out about this only recently, and I think it’s pretty cool! It is a wine carafe that also preserves your wine! Once you have had a glass, you push down on the top to essentially ‘plunge’ the wine and remove the air. It’s a seriously nifty gadget, and it looks very elegant too!
This isn’t cheap, but for the wine-lover who likes nice wine and doesn’t always finish the bottle, this would be the perfect gift. I would also love one just for general life, even if I don’t often have wine leftover!
An apron that speaks the truth about cooking
Price: <$40
Perfect for: The wine lover who loves cooking
Buy from: Hard to Find
This apron is perfect for the wine lover in your life who loves to cook as well! Let them wear the truth of the way they cook with pride, no one will judge! I love cooking myself and I feel like this is definitely an apron I would remember to wear!
A tote bag that reminds someone of the important things in life
Price: <$40
Perfect for: The wine lover who also loves snacks
Buy from: Zazzle
In my group of friends, wine doesn’t often come along without some good snacks. We are food and wine obsessed! But how to carry around our wine and snacks to each others places? Well, this tote bag has the answer! With the ban on plastic bags well and truly in full swing, everyone needs more tote bags to take to the supermarket. This bag will serve as a friendly reminder to your wine and snack loving friend of the important things they are missing from their shopping list.
Cheeky drink markers
Price: <$20
Perfect for: The cheeky wine-lover
Buy from: Amazon
We’ve all been there. You go to a party, put your wine glass down, and then you have no idea which one is yours! There are plenty of wine glass markers on the market, but some of them are a little boring. You could never say that about these cheeky ones! I love how they hang off the side of the glass and even have names! You’ll certainly never lose your wine glass as long as you know which butt to look for! These are perfect for the entertaining wine-lover so they have something for their guests that will certainly give everyone a laugh!
Some fancy Champagne glasses for the holidays
Price: $150
Perfect for: The fancy wine lover
Buy from: Riedel
For the special someone in your life, why not gift some really nice wine glasses? I absolutely love these Champagne glasses from Riedel, and they have plenty of bundle options to choose from. You can find a set of wine glasses to suit everyone’s favourite wine. These wine glasses make for a really nice gift for someone who wants to drink out of something a little fancier than the wine glasses from Kmart.
A travel mug that tells the real story
Price: <$35
Perfect for: The eco-conscious wine lover
Buy from: Etsy
Travel mugs are a great gift generally as the world becomes more environmentally conscious. But this one will share their love of wine with the world. It will also keep people guessing: is it wine? is it not? I guess they’ll never know! This is a relatively inexpensive gift and perfect for the wine lover in your life that wants to use a little less takeaway coffee cups! It would be hard to forget to pack this cute travel mug!
The perfect socks for wine lovers
Price: <$25
Perfect for: The wine lover who loves to wine down
Buy from: Hard to Find
You’ve probably seen these around but I had to put them on the list. Mainly because I would love to wear them around the house hoping my partner would read them and take action! These are a great gift for any wine-lover, especially those who love to sit back and relax with a glass or two of wine!
Scratch and sniff for adults
Price: <$20
Perfect for: The wine-lover who wants to learn more
Buy from: Amazon
There are plenty of wine books that you can buy to learn more about wine. These are great if you are serious about getting into wine, but where is the fun in that? This book combines the childhood concept of scratch and sniff with the best thing ever: wine. So you can learn about wine and have fun while doing it with this interactive book!
A wine aerator that also cools your wine
Price: <$25
Perfect for: The wine lover who often forgets to chill their wine before they need it
Buy from: The Corkcicle website
This wine aerator is great for those hot summer days. It allows you to quickly cool down a bottle of wine and keep it cool by placing it in the bottle. However, it also works as an aerator, giving vital oxygen to your wine and enhancing the drinking experience. This is such a nifty invention and the perfect gift for wine lovers who love gadgets and also forget to cool their wine before they need it!
