Present Tense
Your Last-Minute Gift Guide. It’s Here.

Naughty. Nice. You’ve never put that much thought into it, really. Everyone deserves a little something. And speaking of... you should probably find those little somethings before it’s too late. So below: five local gifts you can get today. Or tomorrow. Or not and say you did.

FOR THE LATE RISER

They’ll Be Needing This Bloody Mary Kit

Midmornings were made for one thing: pancakes. And maybe Froot Loops. Definitely vodka. And for the latter, there’s this Bloody Mary kit from H&F Bottle Shop. It’s loaded with things like homemade Bloody mix, pickled okra, tall glasses, a bar towel and a Moleskine notebook. Presumably for... taking Bloody Mary notes.

411:: $125, available at H&F Bottle Shop, 2357 Peachtree Rd, 404-841-4070

FOR THE PB&J SOMMELIER

These Jams Are Made with Wine

Never: show up to a holiday dinner party without bearing gifts. Always: show up to a holiday dinner party with a bunch of alcoholic jams. Jams like Tipsy Onion and Garlic made with white wine. And Cabernet Sauvignon made with... cabernet sauvignon. They’re great with gouda. So maybe bring gouda, too.

411:: $8.50, available at Peridot Distinctive Gifts Buckhead, 514 E Paces Ferry Rd NE, 404-261-7028

FOR THE SLEEPY SOCIALITE

A Wool Poncho She Can Sleep Under

Guess who’s getting this new Scottish cloak from Ann Mashburn? Some girl. That’s who’s getting this new Scottish cloak from Ann Mashburn. But she’s a pretty lucky girl. Because it’s wool (good for insulation), it’s long (good for doubling as a blanket/dress/cape) and it’s red plaid. Good for not being polka dot.

411:: $275, available at Ann Mashburn, 1198 Howell Mill Rd, 404-350-7132

FOR THE SARCASTIC IMBIBER

Some Circular, Opinionated Flasks

So there’s this testosterone-y shopping event at Huff Harrington this weekend. Gratis beer and champagne will be there. And sausages. And things like this circular, stainless-steel flask. Get the one that says “To My Health” for a colleague. Or a neighbor. Or your mom. Or your dentist. It’s for their health.

411:: $25-$30, available Dec 23, 1-5pm, at Huff Harrington Home, 102 W Paces Ferry Rd, 404-467-0311

FOR THE EASILY DISTRACTED BUTCHER

A Chess-Patterned Butcher Board

You know that one friend who’s really overambitious in the kitchen... well, you’re getting them this. It’s a solid wood butcher block made by a Georgia carpenter that looks like a big cherry-and-maple wood chessboard. You know, for slicing things and playing chess at the same time. That old scenario.

411:: $85-$90, available at Doc’s Woodturning, 706-624-3252
