The Ultimate Bar Book is a comprehensive guide to cocktails, featuring over 1,000 different recipes. Written by Mittie Hellmich, a professional bartender and cocktail consultant, this book covers everything from classic cocktails to modern mixology techniques. The book is divided into several sections, including an introduction to bar tools and techniques, a guide to spirits and liqueurs, and chapters on various types of cocktails, such as martinis, margaritas, and punches.

If your son enjoys reading, a kindle is a wonderful gift. Even better if the happy couple is soon to be embarking on their honeymoon.
If you want, you can load it up with a few of his favourite books to get started or add a Kindle gift card.
A Craft Beer Subscription
Any beer drinker will love this gift. Every month, he and his spouse can enjoy craft beers from independent microbreweries all over the country. Subscriptions are great as he can enjoy them for a long time after the wedding day.
A Coffee Subscription
If your son is more of a coffee connoisseur, he will love a coffee subscription. We love Drink Trade, as they have curated a great selection of craft coffees from sustainable roasters.
Even better, the coffee is shipped within 48 hours of being roasted, so it’s always fresh!

We chose a Seiko watch – it is stylish and high quality. Pretty much anyone who likes watches has a Seiko in their collection.

For a tech-savvy groom, a smartwatch is a great option. Smartwatches have lots of great features – they can be paired with a phone and can receive calls and messages, control music, and can monitor steps and heart rate etc.

A couple usually gets plenty of gifts on their wedding day, so for something a little bit different, why not consider a fruit tree?
A fruit tree represents growth, abundance, and fertility. Fruit trees can live for many years and provide a source of fresh fruit for future generations to come. This gift is a symbol of the enduring love and commitment that a mother has for her son and his new family.
Another bonus: fruit trees are also environmentally friendly gifts! You can choose a fruit tree based on your sons’ taste and personal preference, or one with special meaning.
