The best DIY gin kit to give as a gift!

Do you like good gin? Good! We do too! Now, how about making your own gin at home with this beautiful and complete DIY gin giftset from a Canadian company? It’s a big YES! Ginius bears its name well.

It’s also a beautiful giftset to give to someone who loves this drink or a classy DIYer. 

The gin kit is easy to use and you only need neutral alcohol (or vodka, like this one for example) to make a recipe similar to Bombay Gin! The set allows you to create one bottle of 750 ml or 2 bottles of 375ml!

If you ever want to add some complexity to your homemade gin, you can macerate an American oak spiral for 2 weeks. This spiral adds flavor, aroma, colour and complexity to your spirit. It’s not included in the gin kit, but you can purchase it separately here. This is a nice way to use the kit on the 2nd time, after practicing once.

It’s a nice gift for a birthday, retirement, Father’s Day or for Christmas!

Looking for a thoughtful and unique gift? The Ultimate Bonsai Box is the perfect choice for plant lovers and anyone who enjoys mindful, relaxing activities at home. Created by the Canadian company Ikigai Box, this carefully curated kit contains everything needed to grow and nurture your very own bonsai trees—a rewarding experience that combines creativity, patience, and a deep connection with nature.

Moreover, with this kit, you can cultivate up to four different bonsai species: Japanese cedar, Chinese fir, Colorado blue spruce, and Eastern juniper. Also, each of these varieties is ideally suited for bonsai cultivation, allowing you to create stunning miniature trees that bring beauty and tranquility to any space.
