Doing all your shopping in one place? It's a Christmas miracle!

ADVERTORIAL

For many of us, Christmas shopping is one of those things that's usually an adrenalin-filled race to get done before the big day.

However, believe it or not, there's one gift-buying hack that's been under your nose the whole time that will make the whole process far less strenuous.

Don't discount how much you can get done at IGA Liquor. It's actually somewhere you can work through quite a chunk of those you need to buy for, from the relatively random to your absolute BFF.

Here's a guide to how to get the most out of your local this Christmas at your local IGA Liquor.

Your work bestie

They're the desk mate who makes your job one hundred times more fun than it should be, the office manager who ensures you know whenever cake is happening in the tearoom or the colleague you avidly dissect The Block with each week in the breakout area. These are your support crew that can use some acknowledgement at this time of year before you all get some well-deserved time off.

IGA Liquor top tipple tips:

Go for something a tiny bit special that you know will tickle their fancy.

• Bailey's Chocolate
• Grant Burge Pearl Chardonnay
• Penfolds Max's Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
• Johnnie Walker Black Label Blended Scotch Whisky Aged 12 Years
• Absolut Vodka

Your favourite barista

There are those people in our lives we know but perhaps only just so much — like the barista who makes your order almost before you step in the cafe, the next-door neighbour you natter to whenever you're watering the plants or the local mailperson who delivers your online shopping on a regular basis (we won't say how regular — your secret's safe). These folk may not be close friends but they're an important part of your day-to-day.

As a gesture of appreciation, you can't go past something that's a delight to drink.

• Balter Xpa
• Squealing Pig Squealini Zesty Lemon Spritz
• Jack Daniel's Double Jack & Cola Bottle
• Gordon's Pink Gin & Soda

Your ride or die

These are the ones you love the absolute most — the beloved friends and family who have been there through the great times (or more importantly, the not-so-great times) throughout the year. You've made it through another 12 months together and for that they deserve to raise a glass of something you know they'll enjoy but wouldn't ordinarily buy for themselves.

These are the people you'll want to splurge on — find something that's a real festive treat.

• Glenfiddich 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
• The Kraken Black Spiced Rum
• Olmeca Altos Plata Tequila

Your barbecue host

There are some times during the silly season where you need to show up with a nice offering for someone you may not know very well. It might be that work Secret Santa you've emailed once the entire year, that friend-of-a-friend whose barbie you've been invited to, or a distant in-law you haven't got to know yet. For recipients like these, a token of goodwill will certainly be appreciated (or if not, they'll regift — so you're doing them a favour!)

IGA Liquor top tipple tips:

Look for something with wide appeal that won't break the Christmas budget.

• True Illusion Prosecco
• Grant Burge Cameron Vale Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon
• Stone & Wood The Original Pacific Ale Bottle
• De Bortoli Limoncello Spritz
