Kate Spade New York Stainless Steel Coffee Mug – $29.95

A friend recently asked (rhetorically, of course) why millennials and gen Zers never seem to go anywhere without a beverage of some kind in tow. I told her I didn’t know, then also pointed out that I, too, rarely leave my home without a bottle filled with some kind of liquid – and I am nowhere near being a member of either of those generations. I just have a (perhaps irrational) fear of getting stuck somewhere (freeway, elevator, stalled subway) without water. Some people feel this way about coffee or tea or, depending on the circumstances, wine.

This Amazon home gift guide is for all the beverage lovers in your life; the people who like to always have some kind of drink in hand; be that water, juice, coffee, or alcohol (in moderation, of course). It’s also for all my fellow, multiple, simultaneous liquid consumers who often have two or more drinks in front of them at any given time. And, all the gifts included under $50.

Bialetti Stove Top Coffee Maker – $49.95

The Bialetti Venus induction coffee maker is for that friend you have who is always talking about how amazing the coffee is in Europe, specifically that found in Italian cafes. Induction cooking, which has been around for ages, utilizes a copper coil to generate electromagnetic energy that transfers to your cookware which results in faster cook (and brew!) times. It’s also a way to make espresso-strength coffee without an actual espresso maker. 

Hario V60 Drip Gooseneck Coffee Kettle – $46.50

For your pour-over coffee fans, manual brewers, and tea drinkers, this elegant gooseneck kettle from the Japanese company Hario makes an excellent gift. The long, thin, iconic spout allows for slow, steady pouring; never gushing. 

Glencairn calls these glasses “the official” whiskey glasses used at whiskey festivals across the world and in whiskey bars everywhere. They have a wide bottom for observing the color of your alcohol and a tapered nose to experience the full aroma of the whiskey. The black leather travel case means your gift recipient can tote these glasses along to any gathering.

Bourbon Whiskey Stones Gift Set – $36.99

If your whiskey connoisseur is more inclined toward bourbon and prefers theirs on the rocks, consider this glass and whiskey stones gift set. The eight natural granite stones keep the drink cold without dilution. The set also includes tongs and two slate coasters, all in a stylish wooden box.

Have a friend or family member who fancies themselves a bartender (and has watched Tom Cruise in "Cocktail" a few too many times)? This mixology kit is a perfect gift. It contains everything they’ll need to create delectable cocktails: an 18-ounce shaker, a strainer, a double jigger, tongs, a bottle opener, a mixing spoon, a stand, and drink recipe cards.

Wine drinkers tend to be a refined bunch, though popping corks can sometimes be a messy (and dangerous if you’re into the sparkling stuff) process. The electric corkscrew opener in this gift set from Ivation solves the wayward projectile problem while providing efficient, one-touch cork removal. It also includes two stoppers, an electric wine preserver (removes oxygen), an aerator, and a foil cutter.

I love a whistling tea kettle. I think it's because my mom used one when I was a kid. This kettle from Susteas is equipped with an efficient thermal conductivity that reduces boiling time and it has a super loud whistle so you can hear from the next room. It was also designed with a nostalgia-inducing look. It’s available in black, white, and red to fit any kitchen décor (retro or otherwise).

S’well Stainless Steel Water Bottle – $35

As pointed out by my friend, many of us do not leave the house without a water bottle in tow. Not all are created equal though. A well-designed beverage container keeps cold things cold and hot things hot. This triple-layered, insulated, stainless steel S’well water bottle performs both with ease: perfect for the car, gym, work, or airport. The copper layer eliminates condensation so there is never sweat on your hands or in your bag. Making this an excellent present for anyone on your list.

Luxu Glass Coffee Mug Set of 4 – $27.98

These 14-ounce elegant, glass, double-wall coffee mugs make a fantastic gift for the fancy coffee lover on your list; you know, the person who’d rather have a cappuccino or latte as opposed to a run-of-the-mill cup of coffee with cream. Dishwasher and microwave safe, these mugs are hand blown in one piece without any seams. And they fit perfectly under a standard one-cup coffee or espresso machine.

Moscow Mule Copper Mugs Set of 4 – $36.97

Traditionally served in a copper mug, the Moscow Mule mixed drink contains vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice. This pairing of drinking vessel and drink happened in 1941 when Sophie Berezinski, the daughter of the man who ran the Moscow Copper Company brought her copper mugs (which she had designed) into a pub owned by John Morgan where she met the recent purchaser of the Smirnoff vodka distillery, John Martin. The three of them eventually came up with the cold, fizzy drink served in a copper mug that they dubbed the Moscow Mule. Perfect for your history buff and cocktail lover, this handcrafted set of mugs makes sipping icy cold cocktails and drinks even more delicious. 

No kitchen is complete without a traditional corkscrew – because you never know when you might need to open a bottle of wine. Lightweight and easy to use, the Le Creuset version is a great gift for someone who has just moved into their first house.

Rabbit Vertical Lever Corkscrew with Foil Cutter – $50

If you’re looking for a more festive corkscrew with a bit more pizzazz, this candy apple red Rabbit vertical lever corkscrew fits the bill. A well-made device that removes any cork easily, it comes with a foil cutter and spare spiral. Viewed from the side, the corkscrew resembles a rabbit with long ears (hence the name) and is perfect for anyone who enjoys some gimmick with their kitchen accessories. I confess I’m one of those people.

This is one of the two non-beverage-related gifts in this guide and, honestly, I only included it because I found it so bizarre. I love the item description: “…chain link décor that will add a rustic charm to places you want to look different.” It’s a hefty-looking piece 21 inches long by 4 inches wide. I personally think it would make an excellent gift for that person on your list that already has “everything” – cause I’d wager they don’t have a decorative wood link chain yet. Plus, they could gaze at it while enjoying the beverage of their choice.

LifeStraw Home Filter Water Pitcher – $39.95

While most tap water in the United States is completely safe to drink, many people still prefer bottled water  - which isn’t an especially cheap or environmentally friendly option. This is the water filter pitcher for them. As well as bacteria and parasites, it also removes microplastics and reduces chemicals like lead, mercury, and chlorine. Plus, LifeStraw is a B corp brand that helps to provide safe drinking water in areas where it isn’t widely available.

Kate Spade New York Stainless Steel Coffee Mug – $29.95

This Kate Spade, New York, insulated, portable coffee mug is the ideal gift for your stylish, on-the-go, hot beverage-carrying friend or family member. The lock-tight lid keeps the contents secure in the car or on the train while, at the same time, making a fashion statement.

The second of the two non-drink-related gifts on this list, this realistic-looking moon lamp works well as a night light or festive, decorative illuminating device. It comes with a remote control that allows the user to change the color and intensity of the light from afar; perfect when you’re searching for just the right ambiance for partaking in the holiday beverage of your choice.

Whichever drink (or drinks) you prefer, these gifts will allow you to toast the holiday season in style. Slainte, cheers, and salute!
