The Curious Drinker (formerly Craft Gin Club) spirits subscription

Craft Gin Club, one of the UK's biggest drinks subscriptions, rebranded as The Curious Drinker in 2026 and now sends a box built around a full-size bottle of gin or rum — no longer gin only — alongside matched tonics and mixers, foodie treats and serve suggestions. It's the natural pick for couples who enjoy a drink together, and its feature set is strong: a genuine full-size bottle rather than miniatures, plus everything to build the serve (the brand advertises enough for 14-plus cocktail serves per box). It ranks fifth because it scores lowest on value and reliability of our picks: at an indicative £47 per box — the brand says the contents are worth £65 or more — reviews are mixed on whether the mixers and snacks justify the price, and as a subscription it needs managing to avoid unwanted renewals. Boxes can be taken monthly or bi-monthly with free UK delivery, so you can gift a single box or an ongoing plan. The trade-off versus the one-off gifts above is commitment: it's the most 'giving' option over time, but only if the couple actually drinks spirits.
