The Boozy Gin Baubles Everyone Wants For Christmas

Even though we haven’t quite hit November yet, it seems that Christmas Gin Baubles are going to be hotter than an Australian summer.

Designed to definitely put you in the holiday *spirit* or alternatively just get your Christmas tree fully lit (pun intended), Gin baubles offer so much more than usual Christmas decorations.

And while money will never grow on trees, it seems that alcohol now can and that’s a feature of nature that you seriously can’t ignore.
But if you’re a little worried about the Gin, don’t be. The balls are made from a specially-treated plastic, which doesn’t affect the alcohol, and won’t shatter if it gets knocked off the branch.

This is not the first year for tasty little baubles of Gin. Pickering’s Gin in the UK started the trend in 2016. Understandably, the images of their baubles went vital and the company made headlines after 30,000 of its gin-filled Christmas treats sold out in 82 seconds.

So while yes, it may seem early to start talking about Christmas decorations, Gin baubles are serious business. And they sell out fast. Which is understandable as they are as perfect as a present as they are decoration.

Now while most of us in Australia have had to import our Gin baubles, this year a local company are bringing a little local cheer to the tree, with their Gingle Bells baubles.

So let’s run through the Gin bauble offerings that can adorn your tree this year.

Pickering Gin Christmas Baubles

Where the whole Gin bauble trend started, Pickering’s offer a wonderfully colourful set of six that will brighten up any tree. Each pack contains six different coloured plastic baubles (pink, blue, purple, yellow, red and green), with each filled with 50mls of Pickering’s Gin, capped with a rose gold screw-on lid and red silk ribbon. And as the brand themselves have said, there is an expectation that you will not only drink but also decorate responsibly.
