*Some products were kindly sent to me for review, I have subsequently chosen to include them in my Christmas Gift Ideas list. All opinions are my own. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.

Summer is over, Halloween and Bonfire Night have both been and gone. That’s right, it’s that time of year again folks, the time of year where we spend hours walking up and down the high street and perhaps even more time scouring the internet looking for that perfect gift to put under the Christmas tree. I officially declare Christmas shopping season OPEN!

Whether you’re looking for a gift for a loved one, a friend or perhaps a colleague for the office secret Santa, I’m here to help. This week I’m sharing my Christmas gift ideas for Gin Lovers. If it’s one thing I know, it is gin.

As a self-confessed gin lover I would be happy to receive ALL of these gifts which is why I’m happy sharing them with you.

Here you will find presents starting from just £4.00 all the way up to £110.00 so there’s bound to be a gift idea here that your gin swilling friend will love. I’ve covered off home ware, bar ware, toiletries, edibles, fashion and of course gin itself in this comprehensive guide to Christmas Gifts for Gin Lovers!
