A gift box is a perfect way to bring a little sunshine to someone's life.  Whether you're celebrating the holidays, a birthday, housewarming, or just want to show someone you care, this customizable gift idea offers a mix of fun, flavor and creativity.  While hand-delivering is always great, sometimes it just isn't possible - enter Amazon.  Since Sol Squeeze is on Amazon, we put together a list of items you can 'add to cart' and gift to someone in practically the blink of an eye.  Happy Gifting!  

WHAT TO INCLUDE:  

Start with the Essentials: Sol Squeeze Margarita Mix: A high-quality margarita mix is the cornerstone of your gift box and our 2-packs (classic or mango) are the perfect giftable size.  Always 100% organic and made with real fruit and zero artificial ingredients or preservatives you can't go wrong.  Since our mixes are non-alcoholic, they make great gifts for everyone, including the sober-curious. 

Fun Glassware: When it comes to enjoying the perfect cocktail, the glassware sets the tone from the experience and there are so many fun options out there.  Here are some of my favorites: 

1. Paracity Spinning Tumbler: You know based on my previous blog, this is my go-to margarita glass.  It's like the adult version of a fidget toy, but for cocktails. At first glance, it looks like your standard rocks or tumbler glass, but this glass includes a subtle dimpled bottom which, with a flick of the wrist, will have you mesmerized by the spinning effect.  
2. Stemless Iridescent Martini Glasses: I love these stemless iridescent martini glasses.  And the two-pack makes it a great giftable option.  The hammered glass and gold rim make for an elegant touch and makes every occasion a little more special.  The kaleidoscope effect of iridescent glass gives off a whimsical, celebratory vibe. It’s like sipping from a little piece of sunshine—perfect for lifting spirits at brunches, parties, or even a cozy night in.  
3. Beaded Tumblers: For a vintage feel, I love these beaded tumblers.  They come in a 6-pack, but guarantee once you have them you'll be happy to have a few extra on hand to share with guests.  These glass cups providing a comfortable grip and adding a touch of handmade beauty with intricate beaded details.  The immediately elevate any cocktail and complements any garnishes. 

Dehydrated Citrus: I absolutely love the brand, BlueHenry - from the story to, of course, the products.  There are so many small businesses who sell on Amazon and this is another great example!  Check out their website to learn more about their story.  Dehydrated citrus slices are a delightful addition to any cocktail experience, adding both visual flair and a burst of flavor. These beautifully preserved garnishes are versatile, enhancing the look of drinks with their vibrant colors and intricate details while also providing a subtle citrus aroma. Perfect for margaritas, old fashioneds, or even non-alcoholic beverages, dehydrated slices are a mess-free alternative to fresh fruit, with a longer shelf life. They’re easy to use—simply place one on the rim of the glass, float it in the drink, or use it as a cocktail pick decoration. I love these blood orange slices for something a little different than your traditional lime, but there are lots to choose from!  

Double Jigger: Including a double jigger in your cocktail setup or gift box is a thoughtful and practical touch that enhances the drink-making experience. After all - it's time to retire the shot glasses you've been using from college (no judgement).  A double jigger, with its two sides for measuring different volumes (typically 1 ounce and 2 ounces), ensures precise pours for perfectly balanced cocktails. It’s an essential tool for both beginners and seasoned mixologists, helping to avoid over-pouring and ensuring consistency in every drink.  

Citrus Zester (aka Channel Knife): A channel knife is a fantastic tool to include for anyone who loves crafting cocktails with flair. This small but mighty utensil is designed to create thin, elegant strips of citrus peel, perfect for garnishing drinks. These curls of zest not only look stunning draped across the rim of a glass or spiraled into a cocktail but also add a burst of fresh citrus aroma that enhances the drink's flavor profile. A channel knife is easy to use and encourages creativity, allowing users to design intricate garnishes or even zest ribbons for infusions. Including this tool in a cocktail setup or gift box gives the recipient a way to take their presentations to the next level, making every drink feel like it came from a professional bar.                                 

All-in-One Shaker: I've used a lot of bad shakers before, but when I came across this one it's the only one I use at home.  It's a bit more expensive than your basic shaker, but this one is anything but basic!  The jigger is built into the lid, it's QUIET (so feel free to make yourself a cocktail after the kiddos go to bed), and insulated, so you can even take it on the go!

 

The options are really endless about what you can pair with our mixes for a thoughtful gift box that you can share with someone near or far!  Happy gifting!  Cheers to spreading joy, one margarita at a time!
