Happy Pappy Day! This is the one day every year when the online retailer Huckberry gives away a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve 23-Year Bourbon to one lucky person who buys $75 or more in gear.
The fine print: You have to order $75+ worth of merch by 11:59 p.m. PST — this is the amount after taxes, shipping and Huckberry credit or promotions have been applied. And in really fine print: This promotion is “open to legal residents of the United States or the District of Columbia, with the exception of the states of New York and Florida or other areas where prohibited, aged twenty-one (21) or older as of the date of entry, who have an active e-mail account and Internet access.”
So while this New Yorker is peeved, residents of 48 other states and the District of Columbia have a chance to grab a coveted bottle worth over $5,300. Winners (all two of you) will be notified by email within five business days of the prize drawings (per the official rules, but the site suggests Nov. 25). The drawing itself takes place on Nov. 23 at 12:01 a.m. PST. Note that during this contest you’ll be submitting your email address, which will automatically subscribe you to the Huckberry newsletter, which, frankly, is delightful.
Now, you can spend the $75 however you want on Huckberry’s site, but if you want to keep the drinking (and drink-adjacent) theme going, we have some suggestions below…all of which make for great gifts, even if it’s only for yourself.
We've put in the work researching, reviewing and rounding up all the shirts, jackets, shoes and accessories you'll need this season, whether it's for yourself or for gifting purposes. Sign up here for weekly style inspo direct to your inbox.
