There’s no denying it: The holiday season can be exhausting. No matter what industry you’re in, it seems like work is always hectic. Socially, there are more demands on your time than any other point on the calendar. But the holidays are also full of moments to reconnect with the people closest to us. And what better way to connect than over a warming cup of coffee, an exquisitely composed glass of wine, or a top-quality tipple?
Sweaters and headphones have their place, but some of the most memorable holiday gifts are the ones you can enjoy together. That means you can’t go wrong with something excellent to drink. From wine and spirits to coffee, here are some of our favorite gifting picks for 2024.
Bring Coffee
There are few things in life more underwhelming than the free coffee pods in hotel rooms. Bring Coffee is the answer. These single-serving blends work just like tea bags, and offer a premium brew anywhere there’s hot water. This clever mashup of indulgence and convenience is perfect for travel or camping.
Buy: $24.99Santo Tequila Añejo
[PARTNER] If you're looking for a tequila to gift this holiday season, Santo Añejo is the one to grab. Created by Sammy Hagar and Guy Fieri, this tequila packs aromas of clove, grapefruit peel, and golden pineapple, balanced with hints of tobacco resin and smooth vanilla. On the palate, it’s all about rich layers, from peppery cedar and dried sage to juicy green melon, offering a silky-smooth experience from start to finish. Aged for two years and made with 100% Blue Weber Agave from Jalisco, Mexico, it’s bright, bold, and totally additive-free—a true expression of the heritage of tequila’s original bold flavor. And now you can get it for 20% off! Use code COOL20 at checkout to score the Santo Tequila Añejo for 20% off the full price.

Buy: $2199Crate and Barrel Bodega Glasses
Stop fussing about your glassware. Sure, it's fun to whip out a teku for a specific hazy IPA, or dust off the coupes for martinis. But if you want to simplify your cabinet, just get a set of these understated glasses. The short “juice” size is great for wine, whiskey, or a little digestif, while “tall” is perfect for beer, water, or anything really. They're stackable, sturdy, and easy to clean.
Buy: $33Caymus 50th Anniversary Cabernet Sauvignon
A luxe bottle of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon for under $100? Say less! This fruit-forward anniversary vintage is rich and round on the palate, without bitter tannins. This bold, bright wine pairs wonderfully with food but is just as much fun to savor on its own.
Buy: $72Justin Cellars Isoceles
Styled after the famous First Growth producers of Bordeaux, Isoceles is Justin Cellars’s flagship wine. This unfiltered Central Coast blend primarily consists of Cabernet Sauvignon, with smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Merlot.
