Riedel Winewings - $35
Tell Dad to toss out his old wine glasses, and it’s time for the upgrade he needs. The Riedel Winewings Collection spurred from a project tasking Riedel with designing the ultimate glass for the “king of grapes,” Cabernet Sauvignon. The ensuing glass was the first of the Riedel innovation to buck the norm of the traditional egg-shaped wine glass. The bowl is pushed upward to create a wider, bulbous base, creating the largest in-glass surface area and aeration space in any of Riedel’s collections. The top of the Riedel Winewings bowl acts as the varietal specific guide, concentrating the aromas and flavors of a wine to the palate. The collection reimagines varietal-specific shapes for seven styles: Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir/Nebbiolo, Syrah/Shiraz, Riesling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Champagne

Non-Traditional Holiday Gift Ideas to Add to Your List
The holidays are a time of giving and being thankful for what you have. It's heartwarming to exchange gifts with loved ones. However, perhaps your spirit needs an upgrade. You're running out of ideas for presents, and the after-Christmas shopping rush doesn't excite you anymore. It's time to switch things up with some unconventional ideas.
Try something innovative instead of buying your sibling a new phone. They'll be surprised at your ingenuity and appreciate the much-needed refresher. Here are six exciting ideas for your next holiday present exchange.
1. Handmade Gifts
Few commercial goods can beat a present made from the heart. Surprise a relative or friend with a handmade item representing your gratitude and affection. Knit a scarf, create a wood ornament, melt wax for a candle or crochet a pillow. You can find endless ideas for homemade presents if you take the initiative.
If you’re not artistically inclined, you can still find a perfectly customized gift. Local artists in your neighborhood and online will often take commissions for personalized goods, whether it be portraits, engravings or woodwork. Take some time to explore local markets and score something completely unique.
2. Specialty Alcohol
We all have that friend or family member who’s a connoisseur of their drink of choice. However, hobby-based gifts can sometimes be challenging if you’re not sure what the recipient is looking for. For these loved ones, the secret is to step away from standard selections and look for something a little more unique.
Each year, breweries, wineries and distilleries unveil some truly impressive collections. Rum enthusiasts, for example, might flip for Mount Gay’s new Master Blender Collection, designed by the brand’s first female master blender in its history. Your wine-loving relatives can celebrate some picks from a local winery they may never have explored. With that specialty alcohol, you can get a unique decanter to go with it and have the perfect Christmas gift for boss ready in time for the yearly bonuses.
Check out the industry’s magazines to find specialty bottles that can’t be picked up at just any liquor store. What better way is there to honor your loved one’s interest than by seeking out a hard-to-find blend they can treasure throughout the year?
3. Tickets to an Event
Giving experiences brings joy through the year, and research shows that these types of gifts provide more lasting happiness than a physical item. Plus, it’s a gift you can enjoy together. Hunting for tickets to a concert, play or sports event is well worth the extra effort.
Do you have family outside the city? Many people say attending a Broadway show is the ultimate dream. Make it a reality for your loved ones by buying tickets for their favorite performance. Alternatively, surprise them with a performance they may not have the chance to see otherwise.
People love checking out the Christmas in the Dells Dinner Show that combines festive entertainment with a delightful dining experience, creating unforgettable holiday memories. It’s a perfect way to bring the family together and enjoy a seasonal celebration in a unique setting.
Event tickets are often not cheap, but it's worth the price to score an unconventional gift. If you need more time, give your loved one another gift for the holidays and surprise them with the tickets next year.
3. Charitable Contributions
There’s likely not a lot your loved ones will need at home. For your next gift-giving venture, step away from material belongings. Instead, donate to a charity, help a family in need or volunteer at a homeless shelter. Spreading cheer to those less fortunate keeps you grounded and appreciative of the people and things you have.

Take a trip to the nearest toy store and buy goodies for children. If you prefer buying online, you can browse sites like Toynk Toys, Kohl’s, and Fat Brain Toys for a wide variety of selections. You can also cook some meals and hand them out. If you have old sweaters and socks you don't wear, give them to those who can use them. You'll show your relatives the importance of giving. You might even inspire a Grinch or two.
4. A Family Dinner
Fill the kitchen with the sounds of laughter and smells of tasty food when you cook dinner with the whole family. Homemade meals come from the heart and usually consist of delicious recipes passed down from great aunts, grandmas and mothers. What better way to celebrate the holiday spirit than by making a family recipe together?
For a unique approach, purchase a subscription meal planning service for a loved one. It takes the stress out of thinking up ideas for dinner every day. You can participate in the fun, too — for some services, multiple people can sign on to one subscription. Prepare a hearty and healthy meal amidst all the Christmas hams and pumpkin pies.
5. A Movie Night
Gather everyone up and head to the movies to watch funny, sentimental or scary films. Make a tradition of going to the movies on Christmas day, or hit up the theater every day that week. Purchase AMC Stubs A-List memberships for your loved ones to take the weight off their wallets. An all-week movie excursion doesn't have to break the bank.
Don't worry about battling over seats on crowded nights. Online reservations are free for A-Listers, and you can hold three at a time. Surprise your movie-loving friends with an exclusive membership that allows them to watch all the movies they want at a lower cost.
6. A Sunny Vacation
Shake off the winter chill by planning a group vacation to a sunny paradise. Some fun in the sun might be what everyone needs to reawaken the festivities and fill your time with joy. If you want to stay warm, head to a country in the Southern Hemisphere, where summer starts in December. Australia and Argentina are both excellent options.
Want to stay close to home? Choose a destination like Hawaii or Puerto Rico. Winter weather is cozy for a time, but those who dislike the chill know where to go for warm celebrations. Spend December frolicking on a beach instead of shivering at home.
Have a Unique Holiday Celebration
Your holiday cheer will experience an upgrade after applying a new idea or two. Take the whole family to the movies, a Broadway show or an island vacation. You can also stick close to home with a movie night or two.
It's okay to break traditions sometimes. It's how you make new ones for the future.

If your best friend is soon to be married and you’re the one who’s in charge of throwing an unforgettable bachelor party, just make sure to stay with us and keep on reading! Here are four amazing ideas and tips on how to accomplish that like a pro, so take a look at them and enjoy!
A bachelor party in Bali? Why not!
Bali is one of the most popular destinations when it comes to boys’ trips, and there are definitely good reasons for that. Apart from stunning beaches, amazing food, and dozens of outdoor activities to get your blood flowing, Bali also offers a really attractive party scene that mustn’t be overlooked. Of course, you shouldn’t neglect hundreds of gorgeous ladies in their tiny bikinis, which are definitely a sight for sore eyes. If you know that a groom-to-be particularly enjoys the ocean and all its wonders, you can always opt for a luxurious yacht party that includes a lunch, plenty of booze, and a waitress dressed in a bikini. Spending a day on a yacht will add an inevitable touch of extravagance to your everyday routines, and it’ll undoubtedly make your friends’ lives much more awesome – even if just for one day.
Partying in Miami is always a good idea
Miami offers so many options when it comes to throwing a bachelor party, which is exactly why you should opt for it if Bali is just too pricey for your current budget. Just make sure to go in-season, which is from November to April, since this period offers fantastic weather and unlimited options when it comes to outdoor activities. Delano is probably one of the best places to stay when in Miami, and you definitely won’t find a better pool in Miami Beach, since this hotel has it all. As for the night activities, you mustn’t miss E11Even Miami – one of the hottest places right now that features a nightclub, sports bar, rooftop restaurant, and even adult cabaret if you want to see some attractive strippers in action.
Australians like it hot
Australian men are stepping their game up when it comes to bachelor parties, and the fact is that you can never go wrong with Sydney since it has so much to offer in terms of great food, thrilling outdoor activities for the day, and exciting party experiences for the night. If your crew is up for a fabulous cruise, you should hire a yacht and sail around Sydney Harbour all day long. There are many agencies that offer such services, so make sure to pick one according to your budget. Australian guys have gone crazy about sexy yet classy Sydney Topless Waitresses lately, and they will undoubtedly offer an unforgettable experience to your best friend who’s soon to be married. The quality of their service is absolutely flawless, and you won’t make a mistake if your hire these ladies for this occasion.
Las Vegas as the ultimate partying spot
Some people claim that Las Vegas is for bachelors like Disneyland is for kids, and you know what? They are absolutely right! You should start your trip by renting a ridiculously extravagant (and expensive, yes) suite for your crew – when in Las Vegas, you can’t really be frugal. There are so called ‘men caves’ at the Palms Casino Resort which come with a basketball court, an entertainment screen, a locker room, and a scoreboard, which is everything you need – and more than that! If you’re up for a thrilling experience that will undoubtedly get your heart pumping much faster, you simply need to jump off a Stratosphere Las Vegas Hotel Casino. On the other hand, if you’re really interested in getting a lap dance, you simply need to visit Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club – a wide range of stages, bars, and private boxes are totally worth the hype! Looking for a few more things to try? Check out Jen Reviews 100 Things to do in Vegas. The retail space in Las Vegas offers a variety of shops for those looking to get the perfect gift to bring home, or for anything they may need.
As you can see, throwing an unforgettable bachelor party can be a piece of cake thanks to our tips and suggestions which will make it much easier for you. Just make sure to take your crew’s interests and preferences into consideration before making a final decision, and you’re going to be just fine!
