With the holiday season upon us, it is time to start thinking about what you are going to gift all of your friends and family. Video games for the kids, tasteful pornography for the girlfriend or wife, but what to get for that special someone who has a passion for the microbrew or perhaps spends a bit too much time next to the Nog? We have included some selections for the classy connoisseur and some for the inner (or actual) frat boy in all of us.

Beer Gift Club: 12 Months



A full year of beer equates to four different beers (3 of each) every month for 12 months. This gift is for everyone, from the hardcore beer connoisseurs to your red-nosed uncle with the suspended license. Not only do you get a twelve pack of premium microbrews delivered to your door every month, but you get other notes and info on each of the beers, as well as pairing suggestions, et al. As an extra bonus, the good people at Beer Gifts have also worked in special holiday greeting card as part of this deal, to send to the recipient of your choice.

Cost: $400

8’ Beer Pong Table



This is the official table of the World Series of Beer Pong (WSoBP). Built of sturdy aluminum, this table is fully portable, and breaks down to the size of a briefcase. Basically this lets people know that you mean business. Perfect for the frat boy who has everything...except a beer pong table.

Electronic Drink Caddy



This is by far the most badass golf accessory on the market. This drink dispenser, cleverly disguised as a driver, fits in any golf bag and can be hidden with a head cove to avoid trouble from the drink cart girls. This caddy will keep your drink cool all day long, and its powerful little motor dispenses booze at a pace of 1oz per second. It’s a good thing you can’t get a DUI on a golf course, or can you?

Stussy Deluxe Flask



This gift would make most any man’s holiday: A 100% chrome flask with full grain Italian leather wrapping. An extra bonus would be to receive this gift early, before all of those obligatory family get-togethers where there is no alcohol in sight.

Cost: $65

Nostalgia Electronics Vintage Beer Vending Machine



Ever wanted to have a vending machine in your own garage? Well, thanks to Nostalgia Electronics, you can. This refrigerated canned drink dispenser harkens back to simpler times, where beer may (or may not) have been available for purchase this way. Either way, it is a great-looking piece of furniture, and offers plenty of mileage for good old fashioned small talk. It’s also kid friendly, or if you have to go to rehab – you can use this to store and refrigerate colas.

Cost: $179

Lucid Absinthe Superieure (124 Proof 750 ML)



After 95 years, the France-based Lucid brand has produced the first genuine Absinthe (w/ Grande Wormwood) to be legally distributed in the U.S. Finally, we can get real absinthe without having to know some guy who brought it back from his trip to the Czech Republic. Hallucinations are an extra bonus.

Budweiser Soap



Beer soap is perfect for when you wake up and want to start drinking, but can’t because of “responsibility”. This gift is perfect for the man who thinks that bathing and alcohol are not mutually exclusive. Note: this soap does not cover up the smell of booze.

Cost: $5

Set of 4 Guinness Stout 20oz Mugs



These mugs are essential for any Guinness lover. Designed specifically for everyone’s favorite Irish Beer, these mugs bear the famous Guinness logo. The recipient will be happy to note that they are dishwasher safe as well.

Cost: $16

Keg-O-Rater Beer Dispenser

This kit is perfect gift for the man who loves having ice-cold beer on tap, in his own house. I think that would cover most of us. High-end kegerators cost upwards of $5,000, but this unit, which fits a full-size keg, is about the size of a mini-fridge and costs substantially less. The really cool thing about this unit is it comes with wheels, so you can move it from room to room, if you anticipate difficulty walking.

Cost: $408

The Octabong



This cleverly titled 8-hose beer bong features eight separate chambers so the beer is equally distributed among each of the participants. Perfect for tailgating and all-around rabble rousing, the Octobong is sure to get any party started. This is ideal for the ultimate frat guy who may not yet have seven friends.

Cost: $59

Power Hour DVD



The video companion to the cult drinking games: power hour, century club and double trouble. Just pop this DVD in, and let the fun begin. This DVD features different games you can play, that are all timer-based so you can just sit back and wait for the TV to tell you what to do. Just like in the rest of your life! Perfect for any ugly sweater X-mas party.
