It’s become trendy to serve or drink whisky over a slow-melting sphere of ice rather than cubes that will quickly water down your drink. This Death Star ice sphere mold ($12.99) makes your ice just that much cooler. For a complete gift, add a set of sassy rocks glasses and a top-shelf whisky.
While we’re in the kitchen, how about a wooden Millennium Falcon cutting board ($29.99)? To give the gift a serious twist, you could add a good set of knives for your own Iron Chef.
