Christmas is a time of excess, be that when it comes to gift buying, boozing, or simply munching on turkey and stuffing sandwiches. 

With all that good cheer going around, why not share the Christmas spirit with your Christmas tree – literally. 

If there is one spirit which has defined 2017. it's gin, so imagine our delight when we discovered the concept of gin Christmas baubles. 

Like all good things, the baubles sold out, but we come bearing good news – the baubles are back, and available in Ireland. 

Pickering’s Gin started production of their Pickering’s Gin Baubles in January of this year to keep up with the demand these bad boys are in.

According to Pickerings, a pre-order of the Christmas baubles saw them sell 10pc of their stock back in July, highlighting the extraordinary call for an innovative twist to Christmas tree decorating.

Luckily, they saved some for those of us who weren't so prepared. 

Sold in sets of six, the baubles are available now from wineonline.ie for €38.00.
