There’s Good Friday, Friday the 13th, casual Friday, even Freaky Friday (one for the Lindsay Lohan fans out there), but nothing tastes as sweet as Black Friday. Why? Because of the deals, baby. For bargain hunters like myself, this is the real Christmas.

Speaking of, it’s the perfect time to stock up on gifts for the other Christmas – the one on December 25. As a serial last-minute shopper, I’m picking up my game this year and scoring pressies on sale. That’s a win for me and the lucky buggers on my nice list.

Below, I’ve listed my top five winning pressie ideas from the latest My Dan’s Member offers, at seriously sexy prices. Have a read, whip out your My Dan’s card, then head in-store or online to nab these deals before they end on December 15.

1. Minis!

Welcome to the time of year where we’re all faced with the dreaded Kris Kringle. It always seems like a fun idea… until you’re lying in bed the night before, preparing yourself for the clearly disappointed face of the colleague you barely know when you hand them the box of chocolates you picked up on the way in. Not this year. I’ve got a way cuter idea.

Tiny versions of full-size things are cute. Tiny versions of full-size bottles of spirits at a really good price are extra cute. Right now, all our minis are 20% off when you buy five. So, why not make custom little cocktail kits for all your KKs? Maybe some Patron Silver and Cointreau for the Marg lover, or some Crystal Head Vodka and St-Germain for an Elderflower Martini? Or just be that wildcard mate and give them some Green Fairy Absinth.

2. Limoncello di Capri

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: limoncello is everywhere right now. If you can’t afford to fly people to the Amalfi Coast, you can at least wrap up the it drink of summer 2024 instead – and, lucky for you, Limoncello di Capri is widely considered one of the finest. Made exclusively from Sorrento lemons on the Italian island of Capri, this one-litre bad boy strikes that ideal balance between zesty citrus sharpness and velvety sweetness. Drink it over ice, in a Limoncello Spritz, or our ultimate favourite, in the Raspberry Limoncello Martini. This is a gift that’s authentic, delish and at a gorgeously low price to boot.

3. Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin

When in doubt, go for the fan favourite. Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz has worked its way up to cult classic status and there’s something about that colour (thank those Yarra Valley shiraz grapes) that just makes it so ideal for Christmas gifting (or mixing into all your holiday party cocktails). Juicy and slightly sweet, it’s perfect over ice or splashed into a spritz – of course, we’ve got more ideas on how to drink Bloody Shiraz Gin here. Whether you wrap it up for a mate or keep it for yourself, you’re in luck with this epic My Dan’s member price.

4. Don Julio Reposado Tequila

If you’ve read this monthly column before, you know me and tequila are one. I think it’s the perfect gift – largely because it’s what I want people to give me. Don Julio Reposado is one of the greats and anyone would proudly add this to their back bar. Made from 100% Blue Weber agave, this premium tipple is barrel-aged for eight months to give it that golden hue and a flavour profile that dances between caramel, vanilla and a touch of citrus pop. Very smooth, very elevated, very demure. And they’ll never know you got it at such a low price.

Non-member price: $129.99
