The muddled Christmas gift guide

Here at Muddled Vintage we pride ourselves on our eclectic selection of glasses and barware. From the Georgian era to the 1980s, from the finest crystal to kitsch atomic prints, we have something to suit every style and budget. Here are some of our top picks for this season's pressies.

Mini glasses area a great way to let your guests sample lots of different cocktails

For Party Animals

We're big fans of mini cocktails here at Muddled HQ. They're a great way for your guests to sample lots of different recipes without ending up sloshed in the first 10 minutes so first up is our Muddled Mini Cocktail Six Glass Collection (pictured above). This fabulous set of six small Edwardian etched glasses also comes with a set of six Muddled cocktail recipe cards.

And, of course, we have everything you need to make your party preparations runs smoothly.

We've put together some prep sets to make pre-batching a breeze like this vintage three-piece pressed glass set.

Kosta Boda Rurik Crystal Ice Bucket

We also have a selection of larger jugs for mixing and serving as well as assorted shakers and mixing glasses.

There are ice buckets to keep your drinks cold even when the party heats up. This chunky and stylish 1970s Kosta Boda ice bucket is one of our favourites.

You'll also find a good selection of party essentials like cocktail picks, forks and nibble bowls in our Acessories section HERE.

For Couples

What do you buy the couple who has everything? We don't think you can go wrong with a beautiful pair of glasses so they can share something sparkling over the festive season. Here are some of our favourite champagne coupes. PS They also work brilliantly for cocktails.

For Spirits Lovers

At this time of year there's nothing like cosying up in front of the fire with a glass of something warming and you'll find a wide selection of whisky and brandy glasses on the site. From classic cut crystal to more modern designs, there's something to suit every taste.

1. This pair of Edinburgh Crystal Star of Edinburgh glasses look stunning and feel lovely in the hand.

2. If tots are more your thing, this set of six Edwardian glasses will tick all of your boxes.

3. The unusual shape of these German midcentury crystal brandy glasses makes them one of our favourite pairs.

For Minimalists

Dartington Bulldog Glasses

If you're searching for sleek and stylish glassware for the minimalist in your life, we've got you covered.

We're big fans of Frank Thrower's designs for Dartington and have a number of pieces currently in stock including these beautiful Bulldog goblets which we think work brilliantly as rocks glasses.

Fans of midcentury design will also like Ronald Stennett Willson's Lemington tumblers and Holmegaard's iconic Canada glasses.

For Collectors

While we're very partial to a bit of retro, we're always seeking out older, more classic pieces. Some of these are real showstoppers, perfect for that special gift.
