Alcohol-free gifts for someone cutting down
For the dad who's “easing off”. For the mate doing Dry January. For the sister who's stopped and is sick of being handed a lemonade.
A good alcohol-free gift says “I've got you”, not “you've got a problem”. So here are gift sets, proper spirits and celebration fizz that feel like a treat, not a consolation prize.
Gift sets come with a free gift note, up to 200 characters, popped in the parcel. And the deal works on gifts too: mix any 6 and save 5%, up to 15% for 24.

Kev's guide
Who's it for?
Buying for someone who's cutting down, stopping, or doing a month off is easy to get wrong. A box of fancy teas can feel like a telling-off. A bottle of wine is out of the question.
The best gift? Something that lets them join in. A proper drink for Christmas dinner, a beer for the match, a G&T on a Friday. Here are a few ideas, depending on who you're buying for.
For the beer lover
Ready-made gift sets are the easy win. The Yorkshire Alcohol Free Beer Gift Box is a taste of God's own county in six cans, and there's a bottle version too.
Got a craft beer fan? The Jump Ship gift set and the Nirvana gift set are both six beers, ready to wrap. Or let them choose their own with a beer box.
For the gin and tonic fan
Pearsons London Botanic is a 0.0% London Dry-style gin alternative, made in Scotland, with citrus, elderflower and juniper. Add a bottle of Mediterranean tonic and a lemon and you've got a gift.
For the wine lover
Noughty Sparkling Rosé is organic and 0.0%, and BBC Good Food named Noughty the world-leading alcohol-free alternative to champagne. It looks the part under a tree, too.
For a red lover, Noughty's organic red is a lovely swap for the Christmas dinner bottle.
For the after-dinner treat
Pallini Limonzero is proper Italian limoncello at 0.0%, from a family that's been making it in Rome since 1875. Serve it ice cold, neat, in a frosted glass.
For the cocktail fan
The Mixed Mocktail Bundle is six ready-to-drink cocktails in one go. No shaker, no faff, just pour over ice.
A few gift tips
Add a gift note. Gift sets have a gift note box on the page, up to 200 characters, and we'll pop it in the parcel.
Order in good time. Orders ship in 2 to 3 working days, then Royal Mail does the rest. Check our delivery details before birthdays and Christmas.
And make it about them, not the drinking. “Thought you'd love this” beats “thought you might need this” every time.
Save when you buy more
Buying for a few people? Mix any 6 drinks, gift sets included, for 5% off, 12 for 10% and 24 for 15%. Wine and spirits get 10% off 6 bottles and 15% off 12.

Good questions
Can I add a gift note?
Yes. Gift sets have a gift note box on the page. Write up to 200 characters and we'll include it in the parcel.
How quickly will it arrive?
Orders ship in 2 to 3 working days (not weekends or bank holidays), then Royal Mail 2nd Class (3 to 5 working days) or 1st Class (1 to 2). Order in good time for birthdays and Christmas. Delivery details.
Does the deal work on gifts?
Yes. Mix any 6 drinks, gift sets included, and get 5% off, 12 for 10%, 24 for 15%. It comes off automatically.
Are your drinks really alcohol free?
Every drink shows its exact ABV on the badge. 0.0% means there's no alcohol in it at all. Most alcohol-free beer is brewed to 0.5% or less.
