Gag Gift: Big Mouth Ultimate Wine Bottle Glass

Big Mouth Ultimate Wine Bottle Glass

Gag gifts can be tricky business; sometimes the gag is on the gifter and not on the giftee. No, not because of inappropriateness or other faux pas, but because they arrive to the party flat-out empty handed. Why? Because they decided to keep the gag gift instead of give it away.

Considering that the Big Mouth Toys Ultimate Wine Bottle Glass is actually made of glass and not cheap plastic, it’s a novelty gift that might not end up in the hands of the intended recipient. Anticipating this, the product page actually has an option to purchase a set of two. Of course, the 149 customer reviews filled with people saying they kept the wine glass bottle instead of gifting it probably clued them in. Cheers!

100 Used Wine Corks - All Natural Recycled Wine Corks - Bulk 100% Natural Corks

Know somebody who has 100 bottles of wine on the wall? Well, have you ever just found the perfect gift for them!

Here we have 100 Used Wine Corks ready to be reunited with bottles after they have been taken down and passed around. After all, one tends to lose track after 100 bottles of wine, so having this cache of corks nearby is sure to come in handy.

Or, one could use these corks for craft projects like making coasters, trivets and bulletin boards, but whatever.

No Ice Wine Bottle Chiller

Wine Enthusiast Double Walled Iceless Wine Bottle Chiller

Who knows what lurks in the murky depth of the ice bucket? You do! At least you will after picking up the Wine Enthusiast Double Walled Iceless Wine Bottle Chiller.

Instead of a slowly melting mess, hiding at the bottom of the ice bucket, there will be nothing but clean, crisp air. No ice, no muss and no fuss. Just pre-chill the bottle and the acrylic cooler will keep it from warming up.

All you’ve got to worry about is knowing the wine label will be soon through those double walls — therefore, not recommended for Two (and-a-half, now) Buck Chuck!

Owl Clock Wine Stopper

Owl Clock Wine Stopper

It’s always hoot o’clock somewhere. Wine flies when you’re having fun. A bird in the hand is worth two wines in the glass. Isn’t that how all those sayings go? Oh well, who cares? It’s Friday!

Check out this Owl Clock Wine Stopper. The little guy sits atop your bottle of wine and keeps track of the proceedings with his working clock. Don’t worry, though, if things get too feisty, he can always turn his head (270 degrees) away.

***Update: The owl clock is no longer available from Wine Enthusiast.

It’s the Sunday before Thanksgiving and you know what that means: Football! The leaves are changing, the weather is cooling and Thursday Night Football is just around the corner — oh wait, TNF has already been ruined by the season-long amateur production from NFL Network — okay, strike that last one. But still, the season is starting to take shape and the and the losers and winners are becoming more defined.

If your team is on either end of the spectrum, it’s time to toast to next year or to celebrate the impending playoffs. Either way the Stone Cask Football Cocktail Shaker is here to help. The stainless steel shaker holds 24 ounces and even comes with a presentation stand (aka a tee).

And if your team is stuck in the middle and in the hunt, well, it’s still okay to partake — especially if you insist on torturing yourself by watching the terrible telecast that is Thursday Night Football.
