At Selfridges, I discovered the (slightly unfortunately named) Vom Fass stand, which I thought was an inspired gift idea.

First, you sample their extensive collection of oils, vinegars, wines, and spirits, which includes unusual options like porcino oil and blueberry liqueur with grappa (that’s what I’m sampling above). Next, you select a bottle (which can be personalized) from a wide range of styles and sizes, which is filled with your selection. You’re welcome to keep the bottle and come back to have it refilled for a moderate price.  

While Vom Fass products are only currently available in the U.K., I love the idea of bottling house-made oils and liqueurs. Why not try bottling up some pineapple vodka infusions for your loved ones this Christmas?
