Christmas Gifts for Grandparents: Etched in Alcohol

My Grandma and Granda are without a doubt my favourite two people in the whole wide world. They are literally my idols. They’re so on-trend, hilarious and the love they have for each other and our family is amazing.

My Grandma may as well be known as Mrs Klaus for the whole of December – she literally goes totally overboard to put on the greatest Christmas ever. Year on year it’s faultless. Too many bottles are opened, too much food is consumed, and there’s no shortage at all in the laughter that’s shared.

So as you can imagine, each year we try and outdo ourselves when it comes to presents and the trickiest presents come in the form of choosing those for my Grandparents. They don’t want for much and they have literally everything that they need so usually Christmas present buying for them begins early October, as I’m not one for running around shopping on Christmas Eve. Oh, now we have a tradition of going to the cinema then!

Apart from my Grandma, his Lexus and Newcastle (some weeks) being his main loves in life, my Granda has a love of Gin. Not your average gin either, he likes a good gin, The One, by The Lakes Distillery is his favourite and he always makes sure to pick up a bottle when we dine there!

There’s only so many bottles of the same gin you can get somebody so when I stumbled upon Etched Drinks I knew that this would be one gift that’s he’d adore. A gift that would be sentimental for him.Christmas Gifts for Grandparents: Etched in Alcohol 2

Etched provide personalised drinks labels for all occasions and for many different alcoholic beverages including cocktails and beer!

Their site is so simple to use, select the bottle – I chose Blackwoods Gin which is described on their website as a gin from

“Shetland botanicals are infused with juniper, coriander & lime to give this dry gin its unique & complex flavour. Extremely smooth, yet crisp with citrus, herbal & floral notes. Made with natural mineral water in small batches using a traditional copper still. Over the years this vintage gin has won gold medals & been judged by experts, across the world beating many well-known brands in the process.

Once your poison of choice has been added you then select a template from the ones already created, edit the text and image to suit your style and occasion or upload your own template if you’re really creative. Click submit, place your order and let Etched do the rest.

They take care of printing your label onto your gift and send it out well wrapped to your door.

When the bottle arrived I was so excited to open it, to see my creation, it was simple yet gorgeous and the label was an exceptionally high quality which gave me the confidence to order again.

Etched is perfect for gift giving or for the additional personalised touch at parties and weddings – they’ll make your drinks look amazing and be the talk of the table!

For me, the joy of finding a present that my Granda will love inside and out has checked one very early tick from my shopping list. Thank you Etched, you’ve lowered my stress level considerably!

      The labels are literally the cutest. There’s a dilemma though what will they do? Will they open and drink or keep for sentimental value?? xx
