Something they'll use up or use every week. A bar of Kalastyle soap, a Lineage room spray, a Viski bar tool or Kikkerland's ice molds all come in well under the budget. If you're torn, pick the one they'll use first.

Gifts under $50 is for buying in quantity, the hosts, teachers, coworkers and stockings. Gifts under $150 puts the budget into one piece with heavier materials, like leather barware or a Trudon candle. Start here for a list, and step up when one gift has to carry the occasion.

Bring something they can open at the door and use that night. A Lineage candle or room spray, or a jar of Boozy Cherries for the first round of Manhattans, all work. Pair it with a card from our stationery shelf.

Start with the tools. Viski builds its barspoon for stirred drinks like Manhattans and Negronis, Kikkerland's molds make ice balls that slow the melt, and Menagerie's pourers aerate as they pour. A jar of Boozy Cherries finishes the round.

Blue Ridge Mountain's Cincinnati map glassware prints the city's streets on the glass. The embroidered Cincinnati Tea Towel and Clayton & Crume's leather Ohio coasters finish the set.

No. Because of shipping regulations, HomArt's matches ship to the continental US only. Anywhere else, pick them up in person or choose a candle or incense instead.
