Around the holidays everyone always has those special family members they want to avoid having conversations with at all costs. But alas, these problematic individuals are still family, and they need presents too.

To help ease the pain, we've compiled list of obviously alcoholic gift ideas that say, "You're political opinions are worth hearing."

Wine decanter

A wine decanter is a classy option for informing an aunt or uncle that you only want to speak to them when the table has a hearty helping of wine on their side.

A nice bottle of wine

A nice bottle of wine says to your family member, “The cost of this gift means you must enjoy it with me, preferably earlier in the day,” without having to say it out loud.

Whiskey wedge

Whiskey ice is very important aspect of drinking a good whiskey, which you'll need a lot of if you're going to be interacting with your great grandfather for more than three minutes.

Aerating wine glass

Nothing says "I'm willing to hear you out after a few drinks," quite like these aerating wine glasses. Skip the aeration process, because this wine aerates as you drink.

Travel bar

This picnic time travel bar is the perfect gift for telling your annoying family member that you'd like them to go away, but for now you'll listen to them because you believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt.

Beverage cooling mug

If all else fails, give your irritating family member a beverage cooling mug and say it's a regular coffee mug.

Hopefully these alcoholic gift ideas make your holidays more bearable for everyone involved.
