Final Touch BrainFreeze Skull Ice Bucket

If you’re buying a bar gift for someone whose Halloween decorations never quite come down, the Final Touch BrainFreeze makes sense. It’s a skull-shaped ice bucket molded from thick glass, with facial features that give it something to look at even before the ice goes in. Set it beside the drinks at a holiday party and you’ve given guests an easy conversation starter.

The two side handles are a thoughtful choice: there’s a designated place to grip rather than having to cradle a glass skull on the way to the table. It holds 54 ounces, or 1.6 liters, and measures 7.9 by 6.7 by 6.1 inches, so check the space beside your bottles before giving it a permanent home. It needs hand washing, which means one more item at the sink after everyone leaves.

For a home bartender with a taste for gothic glassware, the skull is the reason to choose it over a plain bucket. It can also hold Halloween candy when there’s no ice to serve. That second job feels particularly appropriate: a glass head full of tiny chocolate bars is a friendly sort of macabre.
