Unique Barware Gifts for the Person Who Has Everything

Let’s face it—some people are just hard to shop for, especially when they seem to have everything already. But here’s the good news: at DadShop, we specialize in unique, hard-to-find barware gifts that go beyond the ordinary. Whether you’re shopping for a seasoned home bartender or someone who loves a good cocktail, we’ve curated a selection of uncommon bar accessories that will impress you.

When looking for that perfect gift, it's all about standing out. At DadShop, we make it easy to find something that combines style, functionality, and a touch of the unexpected. Plus, you can shop from the comfort of your home with Australia-wide shipping, so whether you’re in Melbourne, Perth, or the outback, you can count on getting something special to your door.

Here’s a little trick when gift shopping for someone with all the basics: instead of going for quantity or brand-name appeal, think about how the gift can elevate their cocktail game. A beautifully crafted copper tool or a clever, multi-purpose gadget can bring something fresh to their setup. Regarding gifts like these, you're not just buying a product—you're buying an experience that adds to their stylish bar and makes them feel like a true mixologist.

How to Buy a Gift for Someone Who Has Everything

Consideration Why It Matters What to Look For
Functionality Even a person with everything will appreciate a practical gift that makes life easier. Look for multi-purpose barware, like a mixing glass that also functions as a pitcher or ice mould that adds fun to a party and keeps drinks cold longer.
Design Aesthetic If they already have the essentials, focus on style. Unique designs can turn a basic tool into a conversation starter. Think about products with an elegantly modern look, like stainless steel or copper bar tools that display beautifully.
Personal Touch Personalization goes a long way, even for someone who "has it all." Consider monogrammed or customizable options. Adding initials makes an item special, even a simple one like a shaker or spoon.
Quality Over Quantity High-quality gifts are always more memorable than something mass-produced. Seek out premium, high-quality bar tools and accessories, from whisky glasses made of crystal to bartender’s kits built to last.
Enhancing Their Experience Does the gift help them enjoy their favourite activities more? Gifts that help them elevate their cocktail game, like a citrus press for freshly squeezed citrus in drinks or a tool for making stirred cocktails, will add value to their routine. Learning to shake like a pro with quality barware will also help.
Uniqueness and Exclusivity Uncommon items create excitement and show thoughtfulness. Look for rare finds, perhaps something they haven’t seen before, like a quirky gadget or an unusual set of beer glasses.
Gift Cards for Flexibility Sometimes, the best gift is the one they pick themselves. Opt for a gift card, letting them choose from our range of barware at their own pace.
Experience over Objects Consider giving a gift that enables them to create cocktail-making experiences, not just fill space. A cocktail-making kit can inspire fun gatherings, while bar accessories like a filter or stirring spoon help them craft the perfect blend.

What To Buy Based On Their Choice of Alcohol

You've put thought into the process when gifting barware and tailoring your selection to the recipient’s favourite drink shows. Whether they love the smooth complexity of whisky, the crisp refreshment of beer, or the elegance of wine, there’s a world of unique and stylish gifts available. In Australia, where the appreciation for quality beverages runs deep, choosing the right barware can make all the difference.

Beer Lovers: Craft and Creativity

Beer holds a special place in the hearts of many Australians. With the explosion of the craft beer scene, beer lovers are all about trying new flavours, exploring different brewing techniques, and even experimenting with making their brews. Gifts celebrating this diversity are always a hit for someone passionate about beer.

Why gift beer-related items? Beer lovers enjoy the craftsmanship that goes into each brew, and anything that enhances their drinking experience will surely be appreciated.

  • Beer Glasses and Steins: A sturdy, personalized beer glass or pint stein lets them sip their favourite ale in style. Beer tastes better when enjoyed in a proper glass, highlighting the brew's unique flavours and aromas.
  • Beer Home Brewing Kits: For the more adventurous beer lover, a home brewing kit is a fantastic way to dive deeper into the beer world. They’ll love the creativity of brewing their beer right at home.
  • Beer Lover Apron: Nothing beats this as the perfect gift for anyone who enjoys grilling and sipping a cold brew. It combines practicality with a fun, beer-themed design.

Wine Connoisseurs: Elegance in a Bottle

Australians have a growing love for wine, and wine-related gifts are the perfect way to indulge someone who enjoys a good glass of champagne, a whisky-like Shiraz, or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc. Wine gifts don’t just have to be bottles—they can elevate the entire experience of drinking wine.

Why gift wine accessories? Wine lovers appreciate gifts that enhance the sophistication and enjoyment of their favourite drink, whether it's the flavour or the presentation.

  • Elegant Decanters: A crystal decanter looks impressive and helps aerate the wine, bringing out its flavours. It’s an essential piece for any home bar that values elegance.

Gin Enthusiasts: Botanical Bliss

Gin has seen a renaissance recently, with artisanal and craft gins becoming wildly popular in Australia. Gin lovers are all about the botanicals—the unique blends of herbs and spices that make each gin distinct.

Why gift gin-related items? Gin’s versatility makes it exciting to explore, and gifts that celebrate its mixability and flavour diversity will always be appreciated.

  • Gin Stones: A stylish way to chill your gin without diluting its botanical flavours, perfect for keeping your drink crisp and refreshing.
  • Stylish Gin Glasses: Beautifully designed gin glasses or tumblers enhance the gin-drinking experience. Opt for something elegant or quirky to match their personality.

Whisky Connoisseurs: A Toast to Tradition

Whisky lovers in Australia appreciate a fine dram, especially as Australian distilleries continue to gain international recognition. Whether they enjoy their whisky neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail, gifting whisky-related items shows you understand their passion for this complex and sophisticated spirit.

Why gift whisky-related items? Whisky is considered a premium drink, and gifts that enhance the experience are always thoughtful and appreciated.
