17 of the Best Boozy Gifts for 2020

It was Jimmy Quaffa's destiny to design the Quaffer double bubble layered shot glass. Because "Quaffer" isn't just a play on Jimmy's name, it's an actual, dictionary-defined noun. One that probably existed long before Papa Quaffa got Mama Quaffa all Quaffa-ed up. A quaffer is one who drinks his beverage "copiously and heartily." Especially when that beverage is an alcoholic one, such as a fine ale or a jagerbomb.

The Quaffer is basically a shot glass with a built-in chaser. Its patented hourglass shape keeps the booze on top and follow-up on the bottom, completely separate, until you throw them back in one smooth, Bond-like gesture. Physics makes the Quaffer's consolidated liquid storage and attractive visuals possible, since most liquor is less dense than sugar-based chasers. To set up your shot combo, pour the chaser in first, and then pour the alcohol on top against the inside of the glass, as opposed to directly into the bottom chamber.

Buty, pronounced byoo-tee, is for Nina Buty, founder of this wonderful Walla Walla, WA winery and her namesake label. And The Beast, pronounced thuh beest, is for Buty's second wine label, so named because Buty's sense of humor is almost as good as her wine.

And I only say "almost" because her wine is really, really damn good.

Protect your family. Protect your friends. Protect your whiskey. The Whisky Vault (we'll agree to disagree on whether or not the word is better with an "e") is for the most serious of whisk(e)y collectors. Those who feel that with great liquor comes great responsibility, and if you're going to collect it, you better protect it.

The Whisky Vault considers the glistening brown elixir a work of art as much as a tasty beverage. So, yes, true to its name, the Vault provides an ultra-secure place to store your best bottles. Its machined aluminum spindle wheel handle opens a door locked with bolts controlled by a UL-certified LA GARD electronic lock system. The body of the safe is steel plate construction, with the exception of the panoramic display window, which is made of bulletproof glass.

Nothing does the Remy Martin XO justice like a giant crystal glass brandy snifter that can hold a whole bottle of it. Several bottles of the red-gold liquor when you go with a 12000mL version of the stemware, but that seems borderline tacky, no?

If you dudes are anything like this dude, you've been adding to, and then getting into, your liquor stash on a nightly basis these days. And while drinking from a supersized snifter may have once seemed silly, excessive, even desperate...ain't no such thing anymore!

OakWoodWork's fine handmade wooden beer mugs come in 3 different sizes, and an array of styles. Many of them are engraved with popular references from the likes of Game of Thrones, World of Warcraft, and Lord of the Rings. You can also have the mugs personalized.

Summer is boozin' in the park season. Summer is bachelorette season. But every season is Glitter Champagne, Glitter Mermaid, and Glitter Maleficent season, so getting a Brumate Glitter Flask as a gift for your girlfriend is both a win now, and a win forevermore.

A glass globe-and-funnel contraption straight out of the Real Genius chem lab, the Vaportini kit gassifies alcohol into a breathable cloud of intoxication. Instant intoxication. Calorie-free intoxication. Yes, I agree. The Vaportini is both the best and worst* culinary invention ever created.

I've seen "adult gummies" meant to get you F'd up, but Toast! Before You Drink Gummies are adult gummies that claim to prevent it. Or at least the hangover that follows. The headache. The ass-breath cotton mouth belching forth flavors of rancid whiskey and Coke. The churning stomach that doesn't know whether it wants a pile of bacon or a pile of barf bags. Maybe the second one, and then the first one. Wouldn't want to waste all that good bacon.

The market is already flooded with hangover cures and preventions, but Toast! Before You Drink Gummies believe they can give booze the ol' Care Bear Stare in a brand new, much simpler, and more effective way. According to Toast!, "Before You Drink Gummies are designed to stop the body's immune response [to alcohol] from ever happening."
