Where Can I Buy a Gin Gift Set in Australia in 2026?
Where Australians can buy a gin gift set in 2026: the gift packs BWS and Liquorland carry, building your own set with Giftbox gin glasses and gin stones, how to compare BWS and Liquorland prices, and going through ShopBack before you check out.
Short answer. In Australia in 2026, you can buy a gin gift set online or in store at bottle shops such as BWS and Liquorland, or build your own with gin glasses from Giftbox, then check out through ShopBack before you pay, where ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code. At the time of writing, BWS's online range included gin gift packs such as a Bombay Sapphire goblet pack and a Hendrick's festive cracker pack. Before you pay, open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out.
ShopBack Australia is a free app and website that gives you money back when you shop online at thousands of stores, including BWS, Liquorland and Giftbox. You open the store from ShopBack, shop as normal, and part of what you spend comes back to your ShopBack account as cash you can withdraw. New members can join free at shopback.com.au/signup.

Where can I buy a gin gift set in Australia?
The quickest places to buy a gin gift set in Australia are the big bottle shop chains, which sell gin and seasonal gift packs online and in store. Here is how the main options compare:
| Where | What you'll find | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| BWS | Gin bottles plus ready-made gift packs, listed in their own gift packs section online | Owned by Endeavour Group; gift packs change with the season |
| Liquorland | Gin bottles and seasonal packs across a national chain of bottle shops | Part of the Coles Group's liquor brands |
| Giftbox | Gin glasses, gin stones, cocktail shakers and bar tool sets | Accessories to pair with a bottle, for a set you put together yourself |
| Distilleries | Gift packs and gift cards straight from the maker | Four Pillars, for example, groups gifts by price on its own site |
Sources: BWS's and Giftbox's websites and Four Pillars' online shop at the time of writing, and Wikipedia for store ownership.
A simple routine for buying a gin gift:
- Decide on the type of set. A bottle with glasses, a tasting pack of small bottles, a cracker or advent calendar, or a bottle you pair with accessories yourself.
- Check the gift packs sections first. Seasonal packs often include glassware or minis that cost more to buy separately.
- Compare the same pack at two stores. Match the brand, pack contents and bottle size.
- Check delivery or click and collect. Add any delivery fee to the price.
- Before you pay, open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out.
Gin gift sets in Australia in 2026: the kinds of sets you'll find
Most gin gift sets in Australia fall into five types, and knowing them makes it easier to compare like with like. At the time of writing, BWS's online range showed examples of most of them:
- Bottle and glass packs. A full bottle with branded glassware, such as the Bombay Sapphire Gin 700ml Goblet Gift Pack listed at BWS.
- Cracker and mini packs. Smaller bottles packed as a festive treat, such as the Hendrick's Festive Cracker Pack (350ml) and the Sugarbird Gin Christmas Cracker Gift Pack.
- Tasting packs. Several small bottles from one distillery, such as the Tamborine Mountain Distillery Christmas Tasting Gift Pack.
- Advent calendars. A countdown of minis, such as the Silver Linings Gin Liqueur Advent Calendar Gift Pack.
- Make-your-own sets. A bottle you choose plus accessories such as gin glasses or gin stones from a gift store like Giftbox.
BWS also showed a separate Christmas gift packs section at the time of writing, which is where most of these seasonal packs sit in the lead-up to Christmas. Ranges change through the year, so the exact packs above may not be there when you shop.
Gin gift set best deals in Australia in 2026: how to pay less
The best gin gift set deals usually come from comparing the same pack across stores, buying while it is on special, and going through ShopBack before you check out. Where the savings tend to come from:
- Store specials. Bottle shops run specials on gin and gift packs, often more of them in the weeks before Christmas. At the time of writing, BWS's online range showed some gift packs on special.
- Pack value. A gift pack with a glass or minis can cost less than buying the bottle and extras separately. Check the bottle size, because some packs use 350ml or smaller bottles instead of 700ml.
- Delivery costs. Collecting in store avoids a delivery fee. If you need delivery, check the fee for the recipient's postcode.
- The price after ShopBack. Compare the price after ShopBack, not the sticker price. Two stores with the same shelf price can end up costing you different amounts.
Worked example (illustrative prices only): a gin gift pack costs $80 at one store and $78 at another. Once ShopBack is counted, the store with the higher shelf price can end up cheaper, depending on each store's rate. The live rate for each store is on its ShopBack page, and it varies by store and over time.
BWS vs Liquorland gin gift set price comparison in 2026
Neither BWS nor Liquorland is always cheaper for gin gift sets; they belong to different retail groups and set their own prices and specials, so the same pack can be cheaper at either one on a given week. BWS is owned by Endeavour Group, and Liquorland is one of the Coles Group's liquor brands, according to Wikipedia.
How to compare them fairly:
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Same brand, same pack contents | A pack with glassware is not the same as a bottle on its own |
| Same bottle size | Gift packs can use 700ml, 350ml or mini bottles |
| Special or regular price | Specials end; note the date you compared |
| Delivery or collection | A delivery fee can wipe out a small price gap |
| The price after ShopBack | Your effective price is what you pay minus the cash ShopBack returns |
BWS, Liquorland and Giftbox gin gift sets in Australia
BWS
BWS lists gift packs in their own section online, and at the time of writing it also had a Christmas gift packs section. The gin packs it showed included bottle and glass packs, festive cracker packs, a distillery tasting pack and a gin liqueur advent calendar (see the list above).
Liquorland
Liquorland is a national bottle shop chain and one of the Coles Group's liquor brands, which makes it the natural second store to check against BWS. Look for the same gin or gift pack, note the bottle size, and compare the price, any delivery fee and the price after ShopBack.
Giftbox
Giftbox is the place to look if you want to build your own gin set rather than buy a boxed one. At the time of writing, its online catalogue listed gin glasses (including a set of two), a set of six gin stones, cocktail shakers and bar tool sets. Pair one or two of these with a bottle you choose, and you have a set that suits the person better than a standard pack. Giftbox is a separate order from the bottle shop, so go through ShopBack for each one.
Buying a gin gift online: age, delivery and timing
In Australia you must be 18 or over to buy alcohol, including online, and online liquor retailers may check ID on collection or delivery. A few things to plan for:
- Sending it to someone else. An adult usually needs to be there to receive an alcohol delivery, so check the recipient's plans or choose click and collect.
- Christmas timing. Seasonal gift packs tend to appear from October and can sell out, so buy early if you want a specific pack, and leave time for delivery.
- Corporate or bulk gifts. Some distilleries, such as Four Pillars, have corporate gifting pages on their own sites if you need several gifts at once.
How ShopBack lowers the price of a gin gift set
ShopBack lowers the effective price of your gin order after you pay. Going through ShopBack takes a few seconds and lowers what you pay for the same order. For gin gifts, the routine is simple: open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out.
Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles. Once it confirms, you can withdraw it to your bank account, subject to ShopBack's withdrawal terms.
How to do it, step by step:
- Open ShopBack Australia (app or website) and search for the store: BWS, Liquorland or Giftbox.
- Check the rate shown on that page.
- Go through ShopBack to the store, pick the gift set, and check out.
- Your money back shows in your ShopBack account as pending, then confirms later.
Working out what the gift really costs. Your effective price is what you pay minus the cash ShopBack returns. Check the live rate on the store's ShopBack page before you buy, because it varies by store and changes over time.
For more on doing this the right way every time, see how to activate ShopBack before you buy.
Promo codes, rewards and ShopBack on the same order
- Promo codes. No code is needed for ShopBack itself: go through ShopBack before you pay and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback. For store promo codes, check the store's own site.
For the general rules, see our guide on checking before you pay for an online order.
Other places to buy a gin gift set in Australia
Besides BWS, Liquorland and Giftbox, many Australian distilleries sell gin gift packs direct, and department stores and other bottle shops stock gin gifts too, especially before Christmas. Four Pillars, for example, groups its gifts on its own site into under $50, under $100 and over $100, and sells gift cards for people who would rather choose their own bottle. Compare the same pack across a couple of stores, and when you buy online from a store on ShopBack, open its ShopBack page before you pay.
