The holidays are fast approaching and there’s always a lot to look forward to this time of year. Families coming together for meals and celebrations and enjoying one another’s company is always one of the most important and valuable experiences of the holidays. And, of course, it’s not solely family but friends as well. All the parties, dinners, and events make the holidays the most anticipated time of the year. It also makes them the busiest and, unfortunately, most stressful time of year as well.

Between maintaining a balance of work and day to day chores, trying to squeeze a visit with family and friends (with enough social energy to actually enjoy the experience) can be tough to say the least. But adding on an additional task of Christmas shopping just adds a whole other dimension of stress to what should by all rights be a stress free time of year.

Christmas shopping alone is probably the most stress inducing experience of the holidays. Who receives gifts and who doesn’t? How much do you spend on each person? Can you afford to spend anything at all? What should you get for the people you have decided to buy for and will they even like what you get them?

One solution to the latter problem has been the advent of the gift card. A simple gift, a gift card allows you to purchase the gift and the recipient is guaranteed to like it since they are able to pick out the actual item for themselves.

Gift cards have become staples for restaurants, coffee shops, and standard retail outlets but what about that person you know would like a good bourbon for Christmas but you just aren’t sure what brand? How about the drinker for whom you would like to buy a gift you know they’d like but you just don’t know what specifically they prefer to drink?

Previously, gift cards have never been a factor in the liquor business but, recently, Micky Finn’s has decided to change that.

The Florence area institution has already been offering gift cards at all of its locations for years. However, this holiday season the store has decided to truly to push gift cards as an option to make shopping a little easier and the holidays a little less stressful.

If you’re looking for a last minute Christmas gift or or you simply want to buy your loved one a drink without taking the chance of buying the wrong bottle, Micky Finn’s gift cards are an excellent option.

There are no limits to the amount that can be put on a Micky Finn’s gift card and there is no expiration date on the card either. Gift cards can also be redeemed at all three locations.

Micky Finn’s has long been known for revolutionizing the liquor business and, while a simple gift card may not seem like a revolutionary act at first, it’s just one more step that Micky Finn’s has taken to set itself apart from every other liquor, beer, or wine store in the area. It’s also another step Micky Finn’s has taken that just might make your holiday a little less stressful and a little more enjoyable.
