15 Boozy Valentine's Day Gifts For The SO Who Loves To Drink
Whether it's IPAs, merlot, cocktails or top shelf liquor, everyone has a preference.
For Valentine's Day, skip the boring bottle and invest in something more meaningful.
Regardless of your special someone's partialities, these 15 gifts are bound to make for a memorable (or really fuzzy, no judgement) holiday:
1. Wine condoms
Protect the goods.
Shrink-to-fit technology allows them to slip snugly over almost any bottle and create a water-tight seal so you can keep your beers and spirits fresh too. And unlike regular wine stoppers, these rubbery delights don't add any extra height to your bottles so you won't end up cramming them in your fridge-door at a precarious 45° angle.
Wine Condoms, $18, Firebox
2. Drinking and drawing coloring book
Pass the markers and colored pencils.
For those who are bored of beer pong and have already drunk-dialed all of their exes, this coloring book provides page upon page of novel ways to spend a happy hour (or three). Whether you're looking for a coffee table conversation piece or a coloring companion at the bar, 'Color Me Drunk' possesses the kind of wry humor and stylish design that will make you look smart and creative (even if your friends don't have their beer goggles on yet).
Drinking and Drawing Coloring Book, $9, This is Why I'm Broke
3. The hangover patch
It's worth a try right?
The specially-formulated Bytox hangover patch replenishes the vital levels of vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants your body loses when you consume alcohol. By enhancing and restoring these nutritional levels, Bytox may reduce the physical side effects of alcohol consumption.

8. Wine-infused soap
Get clean off your buzz.
Stock these at-home bars in your shower or tub and drink in the skin soothing benefits of wine-turned soap. To craft these all-natural vegan and gluten-free soaps, Heather Swanepoel blends notes from popular red and white wine varieties with complementary scents and oils—such as citrus for 'chardonnay' and berries, plums, and apples for 'pinot noir'—resulting in a series of sublimely scented soaps that bear the distinctive shades and subtle fragrances of the vinos that inspired them

9. Recycled wine bottle candles
Finally, a good use for all those empty bottles.
Repurposed wine bottles are used as vessels for high-quality soy wax candles from Rewined. Handcrafted in Charleston, South Carolina, this candle's fragrance mimics the flavors and aromas of your favorite wines: Champagne, Pinot Noir, Rosè, Spiked Cider, and Wine Under The Tree.

Cold wine or watered-down wine? Now you don't have to chose.
