The Executive Mini Bar Gift Basket
One of the hardest decisions can be what to get someone for their birthday, a job promotion, or even the purchase of a new house. Let’s not even get into the stress of buying a unique wedding/engagement gift! The Executive Mini Bar Gift Basket will help take care of all of that. In a stunning wood and metal trunk comes ten assorted 50 ml shot bottles that can include vodka, rum, gin, liqueur, whiskey, and more. The brands that mare be included [but are not limited to] are Hennessy, Johnnie Walker, Absolut, Jack Daniel’s, Remy, and Grey Goose. Brands included in this basket depend on stock available at the time. Limited edition and rare/novelty 50ml bottles may be included like Outer Space Vodka, Chambord Liqueur, and Kah Tequila.

50 ml bottles are also known as nips, airplane bottles, or miniatures. They are normally used as samples or for promotional purposes and are intended for individual servings. Usually found in hotel mini-bars, the micro liquor bottles are also found on trains and of course – airplanes. When the full sized (750ml) bottle is uneconomical or impractical, the mini alcohol bottles are used. These products are also sold as “gift sets,” meaning if the brand has multiple products, they will sell them together. This also allows the items to be compared. Occasionally mini bottles are sold with the corresponding glasses or a can of soda or juice for a cocktail.

Just like 750ml bottles, 50ml airplane bottles are also collected by various people. Some may be apart of a club or society while others may collect just for a hobby. (Personally, I collect the limited edition bottles of my favorite Cognac!) A popular club is the Northwest Minature Bottle Collectors in Washington. They are an online club and have all the scoop on the miniature products. Bottles dating back pre-1980s are considered pretty collectible. They usually have a tax stamp on them which means there is a direct date on the mini. The condition of the label, the age/date, and the presence of the tax stamp are all leading factors on the value of the product. A 1950s 50ml bottle of Remy Martin Louis XIII with packaging, for example, was sold at an auction in 2013 for over $1,300!
