Yup, I said spirits.  Cause who couldn’t use a little nip after climbing up and down a ladder putting up your Christmas lights for the second time in a week because after you put them up the first time one of the strings died and you didn’t have a replacement string that matched so you had to go out to buy all new lights and then take the first set down so you could put the new strings up… Ho ho ho.

So after I did all that I put together some simple gifts with a boozy twist.  First up – some presents for my annual Christmas lunch with a group of friends.  I found these adorable towels and glasses at The Christmas Tree Shops.

Add a ready-to-drink mini margarita bottle and you have fun, festive gift for under $10!

Next up – something that would make a perfect gift for a group of coworkers!  I found a box set containing 12 different hot cocoa mixes at Big Lots for $10.  Then I headed over to the liquor store and picked out an airplane bottle of liquor to go with each flavor of cocoa.

It was so much fun coming up with different flavor combinations! Cinnamon cocoa meet honey whiskey;  gingerbread makes a perfect pair with Baileys Irish Cream…  There are a ton of possibilities! Play your cards right with the booze selections and you can knock out a dozen gifts for less than $5 per person!  Your friends at work will thank you when they are sipping on a spiked hot cocoa after a long day of last minute Christmas shopping.

Do you give Christmas gifts to coworkers? I’d love to hear some of your ideas!
