Is gifting booze badform? - Beyond Tiki

What makes alcohol great is that it has excellent Joy to Cost ratio. Example: if you spend $20, you can get a worthless trinket piece of crap (think how many Tiki Kleenex box covers you have been given) or you can get a bottle of rum/scotch/vodka/etc. The trick to gifting booze however, is the single bottle (not the gift pack, makes the bottle seem cheapened) of top shelf or super premium goods... something the receiver wouldn't buy on their own because it's a guilty pleasure (like buying Ketel One for someone who usually buys Five O'Clock brand) -Z Thank God The Tiki Bar Is Open Thank God The Tiki Torch Still Shines...
