It’s a cool gift that not only keeps on giving but doesn’t take anything away – whiskey stones. Not familiar with them? Now is your opportunity to get acquainted.

Resilient qualities
Buying for a wedding party, corporate team, or simply watching your budget? The more compact set of nine grey beverage chilling stones by Quiseen might be the way to go. The chill rocks come in an attractive gift box that includes a velvet carrying pouch – perfect for moving them in and out of the freezer or grabbing quickly when heading out the door to an event. The square stones are made of 100 percent soapstone. A naturally soft, smooth surface that is both non-abrasive and durable, soapstone is often used in laboratories because of its resilient qualities.
Long-lasting
Some whiskey stones don’t seem to stay cold long enough. But not these. This gift set from Amerigo Make It Special seeks to solve that problem through its innovative high cooling technology. In each of the eight extra-large stainless steel cubes is a glycerol-infused liquid core designed to hold the cold for as many as four refills. And because the cubes are encased in steel, the risk of seepage is nil. The set comes inside a handsome midnight box for impressive presentation quality and includes two classically designed coasters and tongs.
Fits the bill
Looking for the freeze without a lot of frills? This gift set from The Mixology and Craft Store fits the bill – and your freezer. The six-stone granite set lines up neatly in a custom-fit burnt-wood storage tray for convenient stowing. The 100 percent natural granite is polished so as to avoid scratching the inside of your Old Fashioned glasses.
Six design options
Want to make an impression with your whiskey stones – literally? This personalized set from The Wedding Party Store should do the trick. Engraving is free, and there are six regal-looking designs to choose from. Enclosed in your personalized box made of genuine bamboo are nine stainless steel stones, a pair of stainless steel tongs, and a black velvet carrying pouch.
