From setting up our distillery in the Edinburgh Vet School in 2013, to filling 20 thousand Pickering\u2019s Gin Baubles a day on-site in 2017, everything we do is in the name of bringing our own brand of botanical engineering with a wink and a smile to fans of the spirit. As we go into our third year of selling our gin baubles, we\u2019re thrilled to bring the Original and Best Gin Baubles to the UK and beyond\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Marcus Pickering, co-founder added: \u201cWe are constantly bowled over by the popularity of our gin baubles. Back in 2014, we sold a hundred as a bit of fun for our local Christmas fair and now we are sending boatloads across the Pond and even to Australia and New Zealand. By putting gin into a Christmas decoration, I think we really tapped into that fun, festive side of Christmas &#8211; they make people smile when they receive them and you can even have a party when you\u2019re taking the tree down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Sure to sell out fast once again, pick yours up from <a href=\"https:\/\/pickeringsgin.com\/\">Pickering&#8217;s<\/a>, Selfridges, John Lewis, 31dover.com and over 200+ retailers across the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Pickering\u2019s Gin Baubles are retailed in a gift pack containing six differently coloured plastic baubles, each containing 50ml of Pickering\u2019s Gin (RRP: \u00a330.00).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GRAB CHRISTMAS BY THE BAUBLES WITH THE ORIGINAL GIN BAUBLES This year\u2019s crop of Pickering\u2019s Gin Baubles is the biggest ever! www.pickeringsgin.com \u00a0 TWITTER | FACEBOOK | INSTAGRAM Fill your festive season with mirth and merry as the must-have Christmas decoration (and gift) is now on sale.
