What's a good birthday gift for a Gin lover?

A good birthday gift for a gin lover depends on several factors. Things like price, the recipient's experience  (are they new to gin or a long-term enthusiast?) and whether they enjoy getting creative, are all good starting points. Here we briefly explore some ideas to help you solve your gin gifting conundrum.

New to gin?

If the recipient is new to gin, there is plenty of scope to buy novel gifts they may not yet have tried. Ideas include flavoured craft gins from small independent distilleries, variety packs of miniature gin bottles, gin glassware, or a beautifully presented tonic collection. All easy wins for a new gin explorer.

For somebody who has everything?

It may seem harder to buy a gin gift for a more experienced gin lover. The good news is that there are still plenty of options, often not including gin itself but a gift which lifts their overall experience and knowledge of this scared spirit. 

Gin-themed books, cocktail kits and gin making kits are excellent gin gift ideas. But if you really want to give them something memorable, a gin making experience tends to stand out.

Make your own gin ideas

Natural & Noble’s DIY Gin Kit is an experiential step up from a standard gin gift — a collection of spices and botanicals for infusing and flavouring gin at home. It’s likely a gin enthusiast will have a number of bottles of gin at home, meaning that they can start creating heir own gin flavours right away.

For something a little quicker to get into, Natural and Noble's Gin Infusion Variety Pack is a flavourful option. A simple, fuss-free way to make beautifully flavoured gin at home, these are little pre-blended bags of flavoured botanicals which you infuse in gin either by the glass or by the bottle. They come in variety packs, which makes them a brilliant choice if you want to give the recipient a little collection of flavours to explore at their own pace.

Whatever direction you go in, the best gin birthday gifts tend to be the ones that offer something a little beyond the ordinary — something to do, to taste, or to discover. Natural and Noble's range sits right in that sweet spot.
