I also like to give personalized gifts to friends – so before I hit the panic button
Here’s a gift idea that's handcrafted with a little help from your favorite stores and you still have time to create.
Little Gift Sets
MARTINI KIT 1) Martini glasses – one or two; 2)make a CD of “chillin” music (Frank Sinantra; Nat King Cole, Norah Jones, Diana Krall – you get the idea) or in a pinch just buy one; 3 A small martini shaker; 4) Full or Small sized bottles of Vodka/Gin/vermouth – olives ; or Little bottles of cranberry juice and vodka with rimming sugar; or for a fabulous Chocolate martini: vanilla vodka; white crème de cocoa; Hersey’s kisses (1-1/2 oz. vanilla vodka; 1/2 oz. white crème de cocoa – ice – pour into martini shaker and serve with a Hersey’s kiss at the bottom of the glass)
You get the idea – put it all in a beautiful box/basket – and you’ve personalized a gift with just a few last minute purchases.
For even more creative cocktail ideas – here are some great recipes from the Ritz Carlton: http://corporate.ritzcarlton.com/en/Press/Releases/New_Years_Eve_Cocktail_Recipes.htm
