This gorgeous and chic bar set is spruced up with gold vinyl – such a set will be nice all year round, especially in fall and winter. The glasses are decorated with gold stars, and the decanter is decorated with a gold touch and letters. You could also do a custom word or phrase (or their initials or last name) on the decanter to personalize this set for someone you know. Like vintage gold barware requires, I would suggest hand washing this set, so make sure to note that if you give this as a present.
