Alcohol can often be a go-to when it comes to buying someone a gift for their birthday. However, we live in a day and age where not everyone drinks, and we do need to be careful about it.
In an age where addiction is rife, we might not necessarily know a person’s past, particularly if they are a colleague, for example, and it may be they are in recovery having gone through an alcohol rehab centre. So gifting them booze may not only be a bad move, but it could be traumatic to them too.
However, there are gifts out there that are more than well-suited to people that don’t drink alcohol, and they’re just as easy to get your hands on too. So, here are five gifts that may inspire you…
A Tea or Coffee Set
A tea or coffee set can be a great gift for someone who doesn’t drink alcohol. Not only are they a delicious and healthy alternative to alcohol, but sets can also be a beautiful addition to any home, as well as set them off on a different drinking passion. Look for a high-quality set with a variety of teas or coffee to choose from.
A Fitness Tracker
If your friend or loved one is into fitness, a fitness tracker is ideal. Many fitness trackers come with features like heart rate monitoring, step tracking, and sleep tracking, which can help them to stay on top of their health and fitness goals.
A Cookbook
As many people who do give up alcohol do throw themselves into cooking, buying them a cookbook can be a thoughtful gift. Look for a cookbook that focuses on healthy and delicious meals that don’t require alcohol to enhance the flavor. This can be a great way for your friend or loved one to explore new and interesting recipes and improve their cooking skills.
A Gift Card for a Spa Day
Who doesn’t love a relaxing spa day? A gift card for a massage or other spa treatment can be a great gift that allows a person to completely unwind and destress without the need for alcohol. It’s a perfect gift for anyone, whether they drink or not and I’m sure everyone would prefer it to a bottle of wine or beer!
A Puzzle or Board Game
A puzzle or board game is a fun and entertaining way to spend time with friends or family and offers a gift that is more of an experience and a chance for you to spend time together. There are hundreds of board games out there, so you’re bound to find one that perfectly suits their interests.
