2021 Holiday Gift Guide for the BrewFlowers in your Life
With the holidays right around the corner I thought I’d try to help out by doing some “shopping” around for you.
Here is the 2021 Gift Guide for the various BrewFlowers in your life. Happy Shopping!
The Delightful Dandelion is full of joy, happiness, but above all determination. The Delightful Dandelion is the most optimistic of the Brew Flowers. She knows that next joyous moment is just around the corner, and she is as bubbly and sweet as the brews she imbibes. If you are shopping for this Brew Flower, you are probably looking for a hostess gift. This Dandelion loves to throw a party and she wants EVERYONE to be there, especially YOU! Makes sure you look for a gift that she can use during a celebration or that reminds her of a good time.
BCups Lager Outdoor Plastic Craft Beer Cups
BCups are dishwasher safe, as well as BPA and BPS free. Their design is not only beer style appropriate, but also shatterproof. This makes them perfect for any brew lover on the go! The lager cup is pictured above. BCups are also available in stout, “funk” for sours and saisons, as well as IPA. I personally wish I had a a couple sets for outdoor parties.
Beer is For Everyone!: Of Drinking Age
I love this artist! Em Sauter does a lot to promote beer education and she does so through her delightful panels. Be sure to check out her Instagram and her website where she shares DAILY artwork. You can also purchase prints of your favorite panels!
Beer Flour Sack Tea Towel
I love this minimalist style. I mean what more do you need besides “water & barley & hops & yeast?” This adorable kitchen accessory comes to you from &Morgan. I highly recommend you checking out some other other items. All products are hand printed by a very talented daughter and father team! Their Pumpkin design is another one of my favorites!
Glimmer of Hop Sticker Sheet
I love these stickers! They are so adorable! I wouldn’t mind finding them in my stocking. These cuties are vinyl and are coated in UV and water resistant laminate. Perfect for a back windshield or water bottle. These wonderful designs are brought to you by the very talented, Caroline of Glimmer of Hop (@glimmerofhop). Be sure to check out her Instagram as well!
The Cultivated Craft Flower has been enjoying brews for awhile now. She is always wanting to learn more about the styles and stories behind her beers. As this flower has cultivated her palate, she now may want her beverages served in the ideal glass, paired with a superlative side, and another Brew Flower nearby. The Cultivated Craft Flower appreciates all that goes into each sip and wants to share in the experience with you. When searching for the ultimate gift for the Cultivated Craft Flower in your life, remember she will appreciate craftsmanship, a chance to learn something new, and already knows the beauty of brew.
THE Beer Glass, Handmade Glassware
If you haven’t read my posts (Part 1 and Part 2) please do so. Then splurge on THE Beer Glass from Pretentious Glass Co. for the Brew Flower in your life who loves to match brew style with the correct glassware. You know the type, the kind that wouldn’t mind being the “Martha Stewart of Beers.” Be sure to check out the Pretentious Glass Co. website, Instagram (@pretentiousglass), and their feature in The Wall Street Journal!
The Beer Bible: Second Edition
If you’re shopping for a true beer enthusiast chances are they already have Jeff Alworth’s first edition of The Beer Bible. If you’ve checked out my post Alworth’s visit to Ashville, you know a lot has changed in the evolution of beer and they probably need the second edition as well! I have both on my bookshelf.
I’m crazy about these lip balms. Mac put them in my stocking and I’ve gone through them pretty quick! Aromaholic does a great job highlighting the flavor notes of each style. They also carry other fun flavor combos such as “Fruit of the Vine” and “Stay Golden.”
Green Hops Botanical Tapestry
I have been a big fan of Katie Dean’s art for awhile. All of her designs are created from original block prints! My advice to you, based on experience, order before your favorite designs sell out! Katie Dean’s art has both a modern twist and a vintage feel. I’m not sure how she does it, maybe her beautiful color choices. I feel like I’m looking at something new, but it reminds me of something comforting like artwork on my grandmother’s stationary (though she would have NEVER had hops on her note cards). If you’re shopping for a Brew Flower with limited wall space, I would also recommend the Green Hops Kitchen Towel or Beer Hops Print. You can find more Katie Dean’s Art on her website and on Instagram (@katie_dean_art).
The Perfectly Pink Peony is passionate and compassionate. Often the alpha of her group, the Perfectly Pink Peony never lets this power go to her head. She is excellent at inspiring and encouraging others to be at their best. The Perfectly Pink Peony likes her brew likes she likes everything else, SPECIAL! For the Perfectly Pink Peony every experience can be elevated with the right details. When shopping for the Perfectly Pink Peony in you life, make you should choose something that will make her enjoy things with a little more decadence and a lot more glee!
Hand Blown Glass: Orange Mix Bubble Pint Glass
If you haven’t already, check out my posts (Part 1 and Part 2) on why you should always drink your beer from a glass. Why not make sure that the Brew Flower in your life is sipping from something extra special. Valencia Glass has an amazing selection of handblown glassware. What is more special than imbibing one’s brew from ART! The Orange Mix Bubble pint pictured above is one of my favorites, but the whole shop is a must see! You can also check out their Instagram (@valenciaglassllc) to catch of their work behind the scenes.
Boozy Craft Corner Coloring Book
This is actually on my wishlist. I love this brew themed artwork! Sabrina Rain Grimes knows what Brew Flowers need! You can find more by the artist at The Hoppiest Shop.
Tulip Glass Shirt
Is it a flower or is it a beer? Either way, it’s perfect for the BrewFlower in your life! This tee comes from GeneralBeerCo. If you have other brew lovers to buy for, you might want to check out some other other styles, though this one is my favorite!
The Hoppiest Shop Earrings
This is another awesome find from the The Hoppiest Shop. I love all the fun colors this artist puts out there, but especially all the pink and green!!! Follow her on Instagram (@thehoppiestshop) for the latest product drops like these earrings (dropped today!!!).
The Woodsy Wildflower came to love brew on her own terms. While she can bloom where is is planted, she is usually on her way to somewhere naturally beautiful. Like other Wildflowers, she gains strength from the earth, the sun, fresh air, and water combine with hops. When you meet a Woodsy Wildflower, you immediately want to be her sister and join her on her adventure. When searching for the right gift for a Woodsy Wildflower, consider that she may be on the go, she’s always looking for inspiration, and she always wants to share her journey with friends.
Insulated Beer Pilsner Style Tumbler
These tumblers are available single or in sets of 2, 4, and 6. They are stainless steel and double insulted so those pours will stay cool, even on the hottest summer’s day!
Sippin Pretty Can Cuff Bracelet
You can find this bracelet and several other special accessories from Craft Brewed Jewelry on Etsy. All the pieces in this shop are handmade and made from recycled craft beer cans! Some can art is just too pretty not to be reused! I think this shop is providing a real service to the craft beer community, so please check it out on Etsy and Instagram (brewbracelets)!
A Woman's Place Is in the Brewhouse: A Forgotten History of Alewives, Brewsters, Witches, and CEOs
I just got myself this book. When I found it, I was beyond thrilled. One of my sparks in starting this blog was a lecture I attended at my local library. The lecture was entitled something like “A Brief History of Beer.” It ended up being all about women’s history in brewing! I don’t even remember the name of the presenter, I only remember that he was retired from the Forest Service and was quite the history buff. I haven’t gotten to do a deep dive, but I am so grateful Tara Nurin put this book into my beer library.
Parks Project National Parks ECOCOOL™ Playmate Elite 16 Qt Cooler
I love the trees on this cooler and the color. What you can’t see is that it is made of recycled post-consumer-resin! An additional bonus is that a portion of the proceeds from the sale of these coolers go towards National Parks Conservation Association!
Disclaimer
All the authors, artists, and craftspeople I chose, because I really admire their work and their efforts to put something good in the world. I contacted all Etsy shop owners for permission to use their images and link to their products. If you notice any links that are broken, please let me know.
Please note all links to Amazon are affiliate links. Like with my Shop section, all proceeds go towards the cost to host the Brew Flowers website, to the cost of fresh flowers, and of course to purchase the brews I feature. I have yet to turn any kind of profit, but I hope I’m helping all the Brew Flowers our there rediscover the beauty of beer!
