The Russ Starter — Apron + Blue Tape Set
A real canvas apron, a roll of blue painters tape, and a sharpie. The whole brand in a gift bag.
≈ $4–$32price range
Wrap a heavy canvas shop apron with a roll of 3M blue painters tape and a fresh sharpie, and you've handed someone the entire Backup Wine origin story plus the only label system they'll actually need.
Add a label-printer roll if they're past the sharpie phase.
