7 Home Bar Gifts for Men for Christmas or His Birthday … HE WILL Love!
Let your man show off to his friends this season with these unique bar gifts for men.
The year sure blew by fast and somehow Christmas is inching nearer by the second.
And there’s no better time to discover that perfect gift that blends his unique personal tastes from one his most passionate interests with something he’ll find useful and can brag to his friends about.
If there’s any one dream all men have (besides finding you, the woman of his dreams) it’s to create his own man cave at home.
And adding some hand-picked precious items to his home bar collection will make you his heroine.
Personally my home bar is my prized possession.
You can’t go wrong when choosing home bar gifts for men. There are too many choices. (Here’s my home bar).
Whether I am collecting spirits to concoct new cocktail or martini recipes I haven’t tried, discovering new rare red wine bottles, crystal whiskey glasses or top shelf bourbon or tequila adding to my new home bar has turned into a full-fledged hobby.
So when I am not enjoying an “Old Fashioned” at one of the top “speakeasy” bars of Orlando (like “The Pharmacy”, “Mathers” or “Hanson’s Shoe Repair” I am at home sipping a full glass of cabernet sauvignon.
What Kind of Home Bar Gifts Make the Most Sense for Your Man?
Even if you don’t know much about whiskey, tequila, wine or cordials, you can focus on the accessories that he can use with the drinks.
Either allow him to choose his own drinks or if you know what he likes then stop by your nearest liquor store, I suggest Total Wine, to purchase them and then combine them with the following unique bar gifts for men here.
What I like about these Christmas gift ideas is that your man can use them over and over on a regular basis and they’re decorative so they add to the ambiance of the room he chooses to place them.
I selected items that either personally own or something that I have on my own wish list. The particular products that I link to from this list received high reviews, but after you click through you will find other models or designs to suit your man’s preferences.
7 Home Bar Gifts for Men (for Christmas, His Birthday or Father’s Day)
1. Mixology Cocktail Kit
Once I started adding ingredients to make cocktails it took my home bar to another level. With it I purchased my own cocktail kit which included the essential tools to make mixed drinks. Some of the bare minimum tools would include a shaker, jigger, mixing spoon, muddler, strainer, wine opener and liquor pourers. Some sets even come with a decorative stand or carry case.

2. Easy Cocktail Recipe Book
A great stocking gift or add-on for his birthday. You can’t make mixed drinks without the recipes and sure you can look some online (I do). But I prefer to reference a book with hundreds of recipes categorized by the type of base alcohol. Plus the one I chose for you here is great for someone starting off with their new home bar since all the recipes in it only requires 4 ingredients or less per drink. He can start with the basics and add spirits to mix in his drinks little by little.

3. White Wine Chiller Refrigerator
I loved my wine chiller refrigerator with it’s glowing blue light that set the somber ambiance with the overhead lights off, but I had to return it because I bought it off Craigslist and it’s inner door glass panel was shattered. Now I don’t have any space for it, but the wines were always chilled and above all I loved how it decorated the room.

4. Wine of the Month Clubs
Here’s one of the home bar gifts for men that keeps giving throughout the year. What I love about wine of the month clubs is that you can customize most of the gift:
- Frequency of Delivery: monthly, quarterly, semi-annually.
- Quantity of Bottles: (1+ up to 12 per delivery)
- Types of Wines: Types of Red, White, Both, Sweet, 90+ Point Wines
- Wine Regions: US and International
- Price Points: Under $30, Under $50, Under $80, Over $100
- Wine Enthusiast Level: (Beginner, Intermediate, Connoisseur
Every wine delivery would bring a new adventure and he’d have a surprise all year to look forward to.

5. Crystal Whiskey Glass and Decanter Set
Drinking whiskey in a water glass, or worse, plastic cup is kind of a turn off. Whiskey is an elegant gentleman’s drink that only makes sense to drink it with elegant glassware. What better way to drink your whiskey then with a whole set to share with his friends? Sets usually come with the decanter (I prefer to poor it straight from my top shelf Knob Creek or Woodford Reserve bourbon bottles though). Other sets come with a wooden stand or case which adds an even fancier feel to the already fancy drink. I love my whiskey glass set that I received as a Christmas gift set.

6. Personalized Wine Opener Set with Case
Here is a smaller, but essential wine lover item. That’s why I added it this list of home bar gifts for men. It can be a little tricky to find the one he would actually like using until he tries it out on a few bottles. But then again that’s why I like the idea of a wine opener set. It offers multiple styles of wine openers. And some bottles are more difficult to open with a standard wine corkscrew due to the thickness of the cork. Of course, not all wine bottles have corks, but one the most enjoyable experiences with wines is simply opening the bottle. However, the set I suggest here does not offer more than one kind, instead it’s unique feature is that you can put his name on the case and it comes with a wine stopper.

7. Home Bar Shelf
Hands down my favorite part of my alcohol hobby. My shelf holds everything I need (and everything on this list). I personally like the style I have with it’s exposed wine racks for red wine at the bottom instead of doors that close shut. The beauty of home bar units is they come in so many different styles and kinds of wood to match the decor of your dining room (or whatever room you put it in).

Choosing gifts for a man is hard, but choosing bar gifts for him is not.
You have so many to choose from that you can’t really go wrong. And if you are unsure if he’d like one item then you still have plenty of others to choose from.
Plus, you can add items every time his birthday, Christmas, Hanukkah or other special occasion circles back around.
Us men love our man caves and our home bar is what we are most proud of.
We can host our friends and enjoy movies or sports games while we indulge in our favorite cocktails, wines, whiskey or other favorite liquors.

If you purchase online (through the links on this page) you could ship the items to a friend or relative’s address to avoid ruining the surprise or even have delivered to your nearest post office or courier.
