If you’re reading this, chances are you’re either a bartender, a flair bartending enthusiast, or the proud friend or family member of one. Either way, you may be wondering what to give (or request) for the upcoming holidays. With many Christmas gift ideas abound this time of year, we decided to skip the method of arbitrarily assembling a list of thematic goods (like that “World’s Best Bartender” mug or “Cocktail” DVD you don’t actually want) and go straight to the source. Here are a few good picks from the WFA shop which should do the job, from stocking stuffer-worthy, to the more extravagant, we have a lots of fun Christmas gift ideas to choose from!

Yay!
Round Copper Plated Hawthorne Strainer – £11.95
This copper plated Hawthorne strainer features a flat, perforated piece of metal which is lined with a flexible spring that catches ice and other solids.
