A stylishly procured bar is one of the most impressive things people can have in their homes. Something about having the perfect tools, drinkware, and beverage options at your immediate disposal make any home look chic and sophisticated. And not so coincidentally, those items (shakers, tools, glassware, booze) also make perfect gifts for housewarmings or host gifts because they're a) compact; b) useful; and c) not things people frequently buy for themselves.

Plus, there is so much amazing bar décor out there, from hammered copper cups to artsy glasses, so you can really ensure that there's a personal touch to anything you gift. We had a ton of fun scanning the web to find the perfect items—for wine drinkers, shot takers and experienced mixers alike—to induce bar-envy from even your chicest friends. All would make amazing gifts, for sure, but honestly, you may just want to keep them for yourself.

And of course, with that wine you'll need glassware. While most people have their own go-to glasses, these acrylic (read: virtually unbreakable) ones are perfect to take outside, or on rooftops.
