This is a cute novelty gift that would make a nice stocking stuffer or small going-away gift. It comes very nicely packaged and seems sturdy, with a cute recipe card inside. Note that there is a non-removable Amazon label over the back of the kit, so keep that in mind if that bothers your for gifting purposes.

So why only 3 stars? The kit is pretty skimpy, honestly. You're basically paying $24 (at this writing) for a spoon, a tiny bottle of no-name bitters, and a couple packets of sugar. They could have made this a much better gift with either 1) different flavors of bitters and recipes in one kit, 2) name-brand (high-end) bitters, 3) better/different accessories, like cute swizzle sticks, tiny metal straws, a better quality coaster (not wrinkled and cheap fabric), a tiny funnel to refill a tiny liquor or bitters bottle, some kind of "history of the cocktail" booklet... something. As it is, the kit is really, really underwhelming once it's opened.

I can see using the metal tin with my own bitters and sugar packets I find on my own, but I can't really recommend buying the kit just for what's in it. Recommended with caution, and only as a novelty.
