We've rounded up some of the best gin gift sets on the market - from a refreshing gin and tonic in the summer sun or a classic Martini at Christmas. Whatever the occasion, gin is always a crowd-pleaser.
Versatile and delicious, and boasting many different botanicals that pack a punch, it's no wonder that gin is so popular in the UK. Especially when science seemingly suggests gin is good for you too. There are so many different ways to enjoy gin - be it on its own on the rocks, mixed with complimentary tonic water, or in one of many classic gin cocktails. And it's this that makes it the perfect present suggestion for a friend or a well-deserved treat for yourself.
Doing the hard work for you, we've collated the best gin presents on the market. From luxury hampers that combine all sorts of juniper-heavy goodies to gift sets offering a variety of gin miniatures, our selection provides plenty of buying inspiration.
"For the discerning drinker gin is a wonderful gift, full of complex botanical flavours to be savoured and enjoyed," says Deputy Food Editor, Rose Fooks. "There are now so many varieties each with a unique personality and flavour profile: from classic juniper heavy London dry, to a zesty Mediterranean number. A gin gift set can be a great introduction to an exciting new character or a rekindling of a trusty old favourite. Either way, giving the gift of a G&T to be sipped and savoured is always a lovely thing."

1. Pink gin miniatures gift set
Why we love it: A bargain at just £10 for a set of four well-known bottles.
The miniatures in this collection include sought-after brands such as Gordon's and Whitley Neill. Whitley Neill's gin is rhubarb and ginger-infused, the Edinburgh gin is plum and vanilla flavoured, Gordon's is a classic pink gin, and finally, Greenall's gin is a wild berry gin.
Rated an average of 4.8 stars by Amazon customers, this gin gift set has been given 5 stars by over 80% of shoppers. "The packaging is lovely and the bottle sizes very decent, as well as good flavours and different alcohol strengths. Considering you get 4 mini bottles the price is more than amazing! I would have happily paid £15-£18 for it if I saw it on the high street," commented Odell, who gave this gift set 5 stars.
2. The luxury gin hamper
Why we love it: A great gin gift that can easily be delivered to your front door.
This generous collection includes a bottle of Botanical dry gin; infused with juniper, coriander, sweet orange peel, and grapefruit. This bottle is priced at an average of £20 a bottle. This popular gin is paired with tonic water not forgetting popcorn, chocolate, and a trio of clotted cream fudge. All packaged in a neat, reuseable bamboo tray.
Rated an average of 4.8 stars by Hampers.com customers. "Beautifully presented exactly as picture shows. Very cool surprise for a gin lover. The confectionery was just perfect. Great choices such as dark chocolate and popcorn," said shopper Sarah who gave this gin gift set 5 stars. Happy customer Yvonne added; "This is a lovely birthday gift. The recipient was delighted. It was delivered on time and met all expectations."
3. Isle of Wight Distillery
Why we love it: Highly commended by Harvey Nichols - plus the bottles have a unique design.
Gift three miniature 50cl gin bottles of Mermaid gin, from the Isle of Wight Distillery. This gin was voted the winner of the Bottle Design Award 2019 at The International Wine and Spirits Competition, commending the world's most beautifully designed gin bottle.
Harvey Nichols also states that "When distilling, the foreshots and feints (heads and tails) of the run are discarded to ensure the heart of the spirit is smooth and contains none of the nasty bits. For most gins the heart accounts for 80-90% of the run, so very little is lost. However, for Mermaid Gin the heart only comprises around 55%, ensuring the smoothest gin possible and citrus notes that sing as sweetly as a mermaid might to passing sailors."
4. Hotel Chocolat Gin and Liqueurs Collection
Why we love it: Like chocolate Hotel Chocolat does gin very well.
Priced at just £12, this trio of miniature gins includes Cacao Gin, Cherry and Raspberry Gin Liqueur, and Mango and Passionfruit Gin Liqueur. The Cacao gin is infused with cacao nibs and the liqueurs have a bold punch of flavour with every sip.
Add some delicious dark Hotel Chocolat chocolates with this set and you've got yourself a thoughtful gin gift.
