Spanish Style and Pet Nat Cider with Botanist and Barrel
December 8, 2020
We have in the past created a list of best gifts for cider fans on Valentine’s Day, but we somehow neglected the Christmas season of family, cheer, and gift giving! You might think it is easy to come up with an idea for gifts for a cider fan because you can just buy cider. We know you, though, and can see that you want to something a little bite more thoughtful. We wanted to present to you 9 of the best cider presents you can gift this holiday season.
1. Cidermaking Kits
We have covered this topic before with some of the best cidermaking kits on the market. That article covers several including BrewDemon, Crooked Apple (seems to be rebranded, but similar kit), and Brewer’s Best. We, however, know that some cider fans may want things a bit easier. That is where Brewsy comes in. Brewsy is one of the easiest ciders for making cider, period. We just wrote about it not too long ago. You can check out our Brewsy review now to see if that is the right fit!
2. 33 Books Mugs, Cider Booklets, & More
Not our first time recommending 33 Book’s unique products and it won’t be our last. We have written two article specifically on his offerings including his Tasting Mug & Booklet and his new Tasting Mats. He is a one-man team and brings some of the coolest tasting notes tools in the market for cider, beer, and whiskey fans alike.
3. Stow Cooler
This, in my opinion, is one of the coolest coolers on the market. It can hold 3 full-size bottles of wine or 3 tall cider bottles. It can alternatively hold 6 cider cans and keep them ice cold for hours and hours. We love this one so much we are going to giving one away soon! Needs no ice but provides you with a secure way to carry your cold beverages. You kind of feel like James Bond carrying a briefcase of booze. Not shaken, not stirred, just cold as ice! See what the Stow Cooler is all about!
4. Cider Subscription Boxes
The world of cider subscription boxes has changed dramatically from the first time we wrote an article about them. Cider Subscription services today include Fenceline’s Cider Club, Northwest Cider Club, and the Cider Barrel. Prefer to get a cider club directly from a cidery that you or your loved one favors? Many cideries are offering individual cider clubs like Eden Cider, Noble Cider, Shacksbury, Ash & Elm, and Tietons.
5. BottleKeeper, Cankeeper, & Toadfish Non-Tipping Cooler
We keep it rolling with products we’ve reviewed in the past. We are also huge fans of the BottleKeeper, CanKeeper, and Toadfish’s Non-Tipping Can Cooler. These both have specific purposes, naturally. One is made for bottles and keeping them cool on the run. One is made to keep bottles cool on the go. The Toadfish is the neatest one as it really doesn’t tip no matter how much one tries to make it budge! Everyone can use one of these — just figure out the needs of your loved one and you can’t go wrong!
6. Cider Swag
Selfish promotion is not always welcome, but we think we have some cool designs! Stickers, shirts, bags, you name it. You can visit our Threadless store to browse several designs, hundreds of colors, and shirt materials. And, if you ever want us to create a new design, just contact us and we can create it!
7. Bottle Chiller
Sometimes you don’t have time to let a bottle chill in the freezer or fridge. We have one rapid chiller we found online that would work, but I am sure you can find others depending on your budgets.
8. Goli Gummies (ACV Gummies)
Not everyone is a believer in the benefits of apple cider vinegar (ACV), but we know one that is great tasting! If you believe or your loved one believes in the benefits of ACV, Goli Gummies are the best in the business. We can even help you by offering a 5-10% discount on the products (depends on the time of year). If interested in this product and the discount, visit our article for Goli’s ACV gummy review. If you are interested, Goli also released Ashwagandha gummies.
9. Cider Chat Subscription Tiers (Patreon)
We thought about getting into the Podcasting space before, but Cider Chat has it on lock! They do a wonderful job and push out plenty of content. With so many podcast fans out there in the world, content is king! By supporting Cider Chat through Patreon, you can get more content, shirts, gifts, and much more. With 7 different tiers, you can choose what you gift your cider & podcast lover!
Bonus Idea! PickCider Swag!
We have to show some love for the American Cider Association. They have some amazing swag on their Teespring site. From “Pick Cider” shirts, to CiderCon hoodies, and ACA tank tops, you can show your support for the association fighting for cider!
