Here's a suggestion on what NOT to get...
Hand cut crystal cocktail shaker...
Bot one and the cuts were so sharp that a towel had to be wrapped around it to use w/o wounds...
Looked great on the bar but totally useless...
Seems like they pour straight from the bottle during office hours but for a gift that is more appropriate 'house party' wise, probably a set of hi - ball glasses in some kind of caddy or of course we know that chip 'n dip sets were hot , maybe with an enclosed recipie for Lipton Soup Onion dip would be a nice touch for the lady of the house....

Little Bobby - a loyal Daddy
