Cotswold Drinks Co Toffee & Vodka

If you’re buying them toffee vodka, they’re clearly a bit of a party animal, so why not go the whole hog and get them this limited edition version. The cheeky pop art graffiti is hidden behind a formal tweed suit, just waiting to let rip on your Saturday night.

Collagin Lavender & Elderflower

We can’t think of a better way to imbibe our weekly dose of wrinkle-busting collagen than in a botanical-inspired G&T from this Oxford-based gin company. Just genius. And pretty to boot – the perfect gift for your friend with the bulging toiletry bag.

Beluga Noble Night Light Vodka

It’s shiny and it’s booze… but wait, there’s more. Buy this for a friend and you’re also buying them a table light with two settings (flashing and continuous!) thanks to some fancy LED tech hidden in the bottle. Talk about mobile disco…
