Best Holiday Gift Pairings for Everyone

Follow this simple formula for holiday gifts that everyone will love 

Stressing over what to get the person who has everything this holiday season? We get it. Gift cards feel too impersonal, but random tchotchkes just create clutter – and you wouldn’t dare try to guess their clothing size. 

The solution is a practical gift with a personal touch. Our formula for a no-fail holiday gift is simple: Start with beautiful glassware or tableware they’ll be able to use every day. Then, add something extra special, like a delicious snack, high-end beverage or luxurious accessory.  

Here are a few of our favorite combinations to share with friends and family this holiday season and for celebrations all year long:  

Bottle of Wine + Greenwich All Purpose Wine Glasses 

Whether your budget allows for a $15 bottle or a $500 one, wine is always a welcome gift that can be enjoyed in the moment or saved for a special occasion. (Though when they see the sparkling, clear glass and exceptionally thin rims of our American-made Signature stemware, they’ll want to find a corkscrew right away.) 

Coffee/Hot Cocoa + Austin Mugs ​ 

That slow, lazy period between Christmas and New Year’s is made for curling up with a warm drink and catching up on bingeworthy TV. Whip up a batch of homemade hot cocoa mix or pick up a pound of fresh local coffee beans, then pair it with these extra-large mugs that ensure they won’t have to hit “pause” for a refill. 

Puzzles or Games + Small Glass Bowls​ 

This game night in a box is an easy option for a couple or family gift. Choose a board game or puzzle that everyone can play together, then throw in some fancy sodas and a few bags of gourmet snacks. Our simple small glass bowls make them easy to pass and share, so the fun can keep going all night long. 

Snack Basket + Heidelburg Beer Mugs​ 

From college playoffs to the biggest game of the year in February, football season is about to heat up. Get them ready for their next watch party with a basket of sweet and salty shareable snacks and hefty, cheers-worthy beer mugs they can fill with any lager or IPA. Unfortunately, their team winning it all is not a part of this gift. 

Cozy Blankets + Austin Bowls  

When it’s cold outside, there’s no better place than under a warm blanket. Pamper your friends or family with the softest one you can find, then add our modern Austin bowls so they can warm their insides with comforting soups and stews. You can’t actually buy coziness, but this gift comes close.
