Few things are as exciting as moving into a new apartment or home. Celebrate your friend or family member with new digs and help them feather their nest with a gift that speaks right to them! In most cases, a plant, candle, nice bottle of wine, or homemade baked good makes for a thoughtful housewarming gift – but sometimes, you might want something more one-of-a-kind for a close friend or someone with more specific tastes. From the martini-maker to the holiday lover to the cold-brew aficionado, this array of goods will help cultivate that sense of home and celebrate the proud new homeowner.
This trendy set by Mixology & Craft (a company founded by two brothers passionate about a good cocktail) is sure to take happy hour up a notch. The perfect addition to a home bar, it comes with a weighted martini shaker, strainer, Japanese jigger, and exclusive cocktail recipe cards. Crafted of professional stainless steel, it will stay rust and leak-free after years of martinis and margaritas. Bonus: it’s packaged in a modern, compact tube container for easy gifting.

This design puts the environment first with reusable filters, and is also easy to clean: simply unscrew the cap at the base of the filter and flush out the grounds.
