If you’re having trouble finding the perfect gift for wine lovers, or people that appreciate fine cuisine (aka “foodies”), you may have luck with these games! These games will certainly bring a smile and a genuine & enthusiastic “thank you” from the gift recipient. After all, that’s what we’re all after when we give a present, right? At least, it doesn’t hurt.

You’ll notice that all of the games below are from UncommonGoods.com. They happen to have very cool products, and it’s one of my favorite shopping sites for gifts.

A Taste For Wine And Murder Mystery, $25 at UncommonGoods.

Throw a really killer dinner party with the help of this Murder Mystery game. Nothing gets a party going like a little wine and intrigue, so set the table and watch your guests perform. A Taste for Wine and Murder comes with everything you need to host the perfect whodunit: a party planning guide with menu and recipes, character information booklets (includes roles and backgrounds), invites and place cards for eight, secret clues and a CD with an introduction, summary and solution revelation. So pop the cork and toast your treacherous guests.

Wine Wars Trivia Game, $13.50 at UncommonGoods.

From the creator of Foodie Fight, Wine Wars is a fun and fascinating trivia game that tests your knowledge of the fruit of the vine. The battle begins as players answer questions in categories such as Vine to Vino (growing grapes, making wine, and world production), Wine Cellar (selecting, storing, and tasting wine), and Cork Culture (wine people, business, arts and science, and trivia). Perfect for those new to the world of wine, but challenging enough for the devoted oenophile, Wine Wars will have you swirling, sniffing, and sipping your way to vinicultural victory.

Winerd – The Wine Tasting Game, $35 at UncommonGoods.

This tasty game from connoisseur Tamara Murphy gets your favorite wine involved in the fun. Using three bottles of similar wine, you’ll prove your knowledge of fermented grapes by answering the most wine trivia questions and passing the most blind taste tests.

Jamming For Fun Without The Hassle of Bad Notes

If you have a gift recipient who is interested in playing the guitar, the Strumstick is a kick-ass way to have some fun! (this is an amazing gift for guitar players of any skill level – you don’t have to worry about whether or not they are beginners or advanced guitar players because the Strumstick is about having fun and hanging out; remember this when Christmas roll around!)

The No Wrong Notes Strumstick. The No Wrong Notes Strumstick.

Requiring no prior musical training, this is the 29″ long, three-stringed instrument immediately playable by beginners. It uses the unique, diatonic fretting of an Appalachian dulcimer, tuned in a drone relationship such that there are no wrong notes. A major scale is played by simply fretting just one string and strumming like a guitar. The pitch range is 2 1/2 octaves and the sound is similar to a banjo and mandolin. The included instructional DVD guides players step-by-step through two- and three-string melodies, as well as folk classics such as Will the Circle Be Unbroken and This Land is Your Land. Handmade in the U.S., the body and neck are African padouk hardwood, the soundboard is spruce, and the back is maple. Includes carrying bag. 29 1/2″ L x 4″ W x 1″ D. (5 lbs.)


@ Hammacher Schlemmer, $199.95 (or under)

Check out some cool videos of people playing the Strumstick!
