The day after the election offered another reason for celebration here in the very patriotic marketing department: our Cocktail Connoisseur gift set was chosen by USA Today as one of their recommended gifts in their annual Holiday gift guide, read by almost 2.5M people!

USA Today’s Olivia Barker talked to Pamela Fiori, editor in chief of Town & Country magazine, to pull together a beautiful roundup of “…party-giver gifts that won’t blend into the poinsettia patch – or bust (the) party-dress budget.” Stirrings’ new Cocktail Connoisseur gift set was included in the under $25 category as a way out of their “red-wine rut” and give a host some new ideas for their next party.

While I normally don’t like to choose favorites, I’ll admit that the Cocktail Connoisseur is definitely my pick for go-to-gift this year. Eight different mini mixers (12 full-sized cocktails), including all of the classics… it’s like a dream come true! And not just for the recipient; I’m halfway through with my holiday shopping thanks to this little number!

What’s more, our website folks have made a very generous offer for fellow cocktail fanatics. From now until November 26, 2008, buy 2 Cocktail Connoisseur  gift sets and get 1 Small But Mighty gift set, FREE! (No kidding, but just in case you’re wary I’ll stick the fine print at the end of this post. )

The Small But Mighty is another great gift, three best selling mini mixers perfect for literally anyone with tastebuds – think of your fellow cubical comrades, your stocking stuffing sisters, your Mojito loving men. You get the idea.

So, all in all it’s been a good week here at Stirrings. The election is over, and the gifting is well underway!
