It’s the most wonderful time of the year when we feel obligated to spend unnecessary money. I do find that it is nice to buy thoughtful gifts and a cider-related one would make any cider drinker feel those warm and fuzzy feelings. We collected 7 of the best gifts to give cider fans for this 2021 Christmas and holiday season! If you want a look at last year’s guide, here you can find the 9 Best Cider Holiday Presents.
American Cider: A Modern Guide to a Historic Beverage
If you have a cider fan in the family that is also a big reader this is the gift for you! Written by Dan Pucci and Craig Cavallo, this book takes a region-by-region approach to illustrate how cider and the apples that make it came to be, from the well-known tale of Johnny Appleseed—which isn’t quite what we thought —to the more surprising effects of industrial development and government policies that benefited white men. American Cider It is a guide to enjoying cider, but even more so, it is a guide to being part of a community of consumers, farmers, and fermenters making the nation’s oldest beverage its newest must-try drink.

Hard Cider Candles
If anyone out there is like my wife, they like a good ole fashion candle. We found some cider-inspired candles you could burn anytime, even if you can’t drink it due to, you know, work. We tried to work in some candles that actually tie to cidery, but you can always do a search with your favorite cidery in mind.
