Quick answer
Start with a DAYS mixed pack so the recipient gets variety rather than a case of one flavour, then add one personal extra such as a branded glass or a salty snack. Match the pack to the drinker: the Ultimate Mixed Pack for a broad introduction, the Peach & Passion Fruit Pack for someone who likes fruity, low-calorie drinks, and the Lager, Pale Ale & Peach Pack for a classic-leaning drinker. Check the delivery threshold and the case size before you order, because those two details decide whether the gift arrives on time and in the right quantity.
Match the pack to the person, not the occasion
The most common gift-set mistake is choosing the biggest box rather than the right box. A hop-forward drinker will get more from the DAYS Lager, Pale Ale & Peach Cans Pack, which splits clean lager, a bold and balanced pale ale, and the juicy Peach Lager evenly. Someone who already drinks fruit-forward soft drinks or lighter beers is better served by the Peach & Passion Fruit Pack, which contains only the two limited-edition fruit lagers. If you genuinely do not know their taste, the Ultimate Mixed Pack removes the guesswork because it covers lager, pale ale, peach and passion fruit in one even split.
DAYS Lager
Add one extra that gets used, not displayed
A gift set feels considered when the extra item has a job. A clean, straight-sided glass suits the lager and pale ale; a small bag of salted nuts or crisps suits the fruit lagers. Avoid adding a second alcohol-free brand unless you know it, because mixing brands turns a clear gift into a tasting experiment the recipient did not ask for. If you are building several sets at once, buy one extra per set rather than one shared extra, so each box stands alone when it is opened.
Check case size and delivery before you commit
Case size is the option that changes both the cost and the impression. A single case reads as a thoughtful small gift; a larger case reads as a stocking-up gift for a household. Delivery matters just as much: this store offers free delivery on orders over £30, so if your basket sits just under that line, adding the extra item you were already considering is usually smarter than paying for a separate small order. Order early enough that the cans arrive before the occasion rather than on the morning of it.
Present it so the 0.0% point lands
Alcohol-free beer is often given to someone who is cutting back, driving, pregnant, training, or simply choosing not to drink on a given night. Say why you chose a 0.0% option in a short note rather than leaving them to work it out from the label. Keep the note practical: name the flavours in the box and suggest when to open the first one. That single sentence turns a box of cans into a gift that fits their week.
Six steps to a gift set that gets drunk
- Set a budget and a case size first: Decide whether this is a small thank-you gift or a household restock, then pick the case size that matches. Mistake to avoid: choosing the largest case and then having nothing left in the budget for the extra item that makes it feel like a gift. Checkpoint: the case size should match how many people will actually drink it.
- Choose the pack by flavour profile: Pick the Ultimate Mixed Pack for a broad introduction, the Peach & Passion Fruit Pack for a fruit-forward drinker, or the Lager, Pale Ale & Peach Pack for someone who wants classic styles with one fruit beer. Checkpoint: if you cannot name one flavour they already like, choose the Ultimate Mixed Pack.
- Add one usable extra: Choose a glass, a snack, or a short handwritten note. Mistake to avoid: adding several small items that turn the box into clutter rather than a set. Checkpoint: every extra should have a clear moment when it gets used.
- Confirm the delivery threshold: This store offers free delivery on orders over £30, so check your basket total before adding a second small order elsewhere. Mistake to avoid: splitting the gift across two orders and paying delivery twice. Checkpoint: one basket, one delivery, above the threshold where possible.
- Order with a buffer before the date: Place the order early enough that the cans arrive before the occasion, not on the day. Mistake to avoid: assuming a next-day arrival during a busy gifting period. Checkpoint: aim to have the box in hand at least two days before you give it.
- Write the note that explains the 0.0% choice: Name the flavours in the box and suggest when to open the first can. Mistake to avoid: leaving the recipient to guess whether the beer is alcoholic. Checkpoint: the note should mention 0.0% and one occasion to drink it.
DAYS packs that work in a gift set
- DAYS ULTIMATE MIXED PACK: An even split of clean, crisp Lager, bold and vibrant Pale Ale, juicy Peach Lager and tropical Passion Fruit Lager, all 0.0% ABV. The safest choice when you do not know the recipient's taste, because all four flavours are represented in equal amounts.
- DAYS MIXED PEACH & PASSION FRUIT PACK: A fresh mix of the limited-edition Peach Lager and Passion Fruit Lager, both 0.0% ABV. Best for a drinker who already leans towards fruity, low-calorie drinks and does not want a pale ale in the box.
- DAYS MIXED LAGER, PALE ALE & PEACH CANS PACK: An even split of Lager, Pale Ale and Peach Lager, all 0.0% ABV. Suits a classic-leaning drinker who wants a recognisable lager and pale ale with one fruit option to try.
