WHEN whiskey stones first showed up on store shelves five years ago, they seemed destined to be another fleeting oddity, perhaps an upscale version of the Pet Rock fad of 1975.

Our constricted conception of masculinity has propped up bad, chest-thumping gift ideas for far too long. No object makes the damage plainer than the whiskey stone. Ice can neutralize a ton of heat, since the heat it absorbs makes it melt into cold water that continues to cool the whiskey around it. Whiskey stones just get warm, returning the drink to room temperature in less than the time it takes to finish it. And Gear Patrol points out that pro whiskey tasters purposely water down their beverages, little by little, to savor the shifting flavors the liquor produces as it’s diluted. The men of the holiday gift guide will never experience such pleasure. They could be enjoying a variety of beverages, all at various appropriate temperatures and concentrations, opened with easy-to-use implements instead of swords. Instead, they’re stuck with one color on the liquor spectrum, sucking a warm glass filled with rocks.

With the final season here, the love for “Game of Thrones” is stronger than ever. Fans are anxiously awaiting the fate of their favorite characters, predicting who will die in the season finale, and wondering who will sit at the iron throne. The show is set to return to HBO on April 14.

By coincidence, George became the proud grandfather of identical twins twenty years later, both of whom have since joined the family business. Richard Urquhart has become the international sales manager, Asia & Americas, while Stuart, his slightly younger brother (by about thirty seconds) is now associate director of whisky supply.

Pagan winter rituals have long revolved around light. There’s the burning of a yule log – an oak log, partially burnt and often decorated with herbs or dried winter greenery, the charred remnants of which are reserved to start the same ritualistic fire the following year. (Yule, meaning wheel, reflects the cycle of the year, the continual journey of the sun around the planet and the log’s flame celebrates the longed-for return of the sun.) Saturnalia, meanwhile, is a Roman festival of light which leads us toward the winter solstice, where the giving and lighting of candles symbolised the quest for knowledge and truth. Today, such celebrations can help us shift gears into winter and there’s no better accompaniment than a candle, evocatively perfumed to transport its witness – allowing us to retreat into the dusty libraries, steamy kitchens, and toasty hearths of our inner selves.

Ever thought about turning your empty candle jars into little mini planters? No? Well, you should. Just take at how pretty these are.

This kick-ass bar set will make a rad addition to anyone’s at-home libation station—and it comes in at under $70!

Half the fun of throwing an ice cube into a drink is to taste the drink change as the ice melts (the other half is that you can throw a cube in your drink without shattering the glass, because it isn’t a whiskey stone). The recent trend of high-ABV bourbons hitting the market comes from bartenders demanding higher proofs that they can dilute with mixers while still maintaining high alcohol content. So dilution is sometimes good.

Spring brings daffodils, blue skies, and warm weather that we want nothing more than to bask in. Things only seem to get better during the springtime — the mood is lighter, the air is sweeter, and it feels like there are endless possibilities for fresh starts. With some of the coolest makeup trends (sunflower nails, we mean you) and the hottest styles we’ve seen in months, it’s crazy to think that Spring could bless us with more, but lo and behold, it did.
