My pet peeve is when retailers start throwing about the term “last minute gifts,” as if there’s somehow an implied judgement that we should have had this all figured out and wrapped and put under the tree already. I come to you with absolutely no judgement. We are busy, modern people with busy, modern lives! I come to you now only to let you know that we’re all in the same boat down the holiday stream with you, trying to stay afloat and make the merry while still getting all the non-merry quotidian things of life accomplished. Let’s keep it simple: here are some very excellent gifts for the spirits lovers in your life, hand selected by our Spirits Buyer and all-around font of knowledge, David Othenin-Girard.
