I'll just go ahead and list a few of the things I use on a regular basis.
Koriko shakers are awesome. They look cool and function amazingly. Good investments. End of story.

I prefer using a julep strainer over a hawthorne strainer, it works fine for me when I'm not muddling things into the drink I don't want served.

Get speed pourers. Even if you don't plan on free-pouring, they're nice to have a more standardized pouring speed so you can pour out of an entirely full bottle without worrying about spilling too much.

A cheap bar spoon is an awful experience. A decent bar spoon is fine. An overpriced barspoon is (generally) just overpriced metal. However, the Tanqueray spoons and the Standard Spoon on kickstarter are actually pretty nice quality stuff. But that said, almost everyone I've met likes the regular old bar spoon.

Have a jigger on hand, even if you free pour. Just for when you have nicer ingredients and want to try out a drink with them and would rather have the proportions right than have to revive the drink.

I make a lot of bitters myself or super small batch infusions, so having a set of mason jars on hand has been extremely helpful.
I use cheapo squirt bottles ( http://amzn.com/B007OM9W2E ) to store simple syrup or other infused simple syrup.
If you get super into infusions and stuff like that, I've heard a lot of good things about the iSi system; I have a friend with one, he absolutely loves his. I have to admit, it takes a lot of work and patience out of infusion. As well as whipped cream, or carbonating things, or what have you... now I might want to get one.
These two items are somewhat paired (at least for me) -- a water filter and an ice tray. For ice, I'm talking like the Tovolo King Size ice trays. Water filter -- doesn't matter, as long as it filters from what I can tell.

Something that's nice to have on hand so you can double-strain is a fine-mesh strainer. Can be harder to find on the cheap though, I ended up breaking down and going to a Bed Bath & Beyond for mine since everything on Amazon was fairly expensive the thrift shops near me didn't have one.
Get nice glassware. I remember when I was younger and someone demonstrated the importance of having nice glass when tasting wine. The same thing applies. This isn't exactly bar-tools, but it's critical to your cocktail experience. Drinking out of cheap glasses, or the wrong glasses, will really hurt the presentation and your perception of the cocktail. In essence, t's important to take pride in both how you make the cocktail and how you serve the cocktail.
That's all I got for now.
We did self-serve, and in terms of combating people pouring BIG pours, we did two things:
Smaller glasses
Pour spouts for the wine bottles: http://www.amazon.com/Chrome-Bottle-Pourers-Set-6/dp/B0009SZZQW
The pour spouts are great because not only do they slow down the pour so that people won't be as inclined to over-serve themselves, they also prevent drips going down your bottles and making a mess!
I just got these oil spouts for all my bottles- I get the same portion control and no drips but still get to keep my oil safe in glass.
Ta da! Amazon Prime for $7.31 in the United States!
get something like this and crotch it
Specifically, this wine aerator: https://www.amazon.com/Soiree-bottle-top-Wine-Decanter-Aerator/dp/B001HWW03K
It's not just sulfates, some wines also have large amounts of histamines. An example is Rozy from Arogony Wine, a rose that I love but the histamines literally cause mucus in my sinus cavities to turn to the consistency of gummi bears. This has happened on multiple occasions, including 2 where I had nothing but that for hours before or after.
There are tools that claim to remove much of the histamines and sulfates from wine. I haven't tried them yet, but I plan to with the above wine that I know wreaks havoc on me.
I bought one of these to keep from having to unscrew and rescrew the bottle which I do about 10 times a night. It's nice :)
On Friday I moved 11 gallons into carboys to mellow and started another 6 gallon batch fermenting, this one with 6 pounds of honey added.
I got this bad boy to use now instead of 1 gallon fermenters. The valve is a godsend, no more screwing with a siphon.
The wife and I have been drinking a gallon a week easily. I have 21 carboys full now, but most of them are too fresh to drink right now, my drinking caught up to my manufacturing pretty quick.
I just switched my bar from the screened pour spouts to these and honestly, I couldn't be happier with the results. I hated the screened kind. I thought they looked cheap, being made of plastic. Any thick liqueur (godiva, bailey's, kahlua) you put one of them on loses flow rate after a day. They get stained, and the rubber sleeves break off when changing bottles. I would definitely suggest going with stainless steel free flow spouts. Just get some rubber caps to keep the fruit flies out.
If you're going for organic, I would look into latex toppers, but this person had better be willing to drop a few hundo
Edit: http://www.amazon.com/International-POR-MT-Stainless-Free-Flow-Pourer/dp/B0060N2ZKE
Though I've also read you want Talalay latex, but i dont know what that means.
OH SHIT! Yeah! I almost forgot! I actually used these on my past trip. Follow the instructions carefully and you'll have as much liquor as you decide to bring: https://www.amazon.com/Cocktail-Caddy-Cruise-Liquor-Alcohol/dp/B00MXBNNRQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467837732&sr=8-1&keywords=rum+runners
We turned one into an olive oil dispenser.
Kept a unique looking bottle, cleaned the heck out of it, put oil in it, topped it with something like this.
How is your solution superior to say, this?

I have two of these. I'm using them to dispense my starter into fresh 1 gallon batches. https://www.amazon.com/Northern-Brewer-Fermentor-Universal-Fermentation/dp/B011VDMYAI/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1536414336&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=big+mouth+bubbler&psc=1
Kitchen bottle pour spout is a term that will get to what you're looking for. Variations on that will work as well. I'll link examples, but you gave no measurements, you need to measure and then search yourself.

This is a Google image search limited to Amazon to look through. There are many styles to choose from.
Also getting some speed pourers are fun, cheap, and a little flashy. Doesn't make sense unless you are making a bunch of drinks, but if you do have a party they are awesome.

Also, stir straws are great to serve with drinks.

Yes, being female does matter. Tits increase your chances of being hired. Depending on what state you live in, bartending school may or may not be a waste of money. I know New York does tend to prefer bartenders with some kind of training.
Other than that, just do the following: Grab a book and learn some drinks, get your hands on a speed pourer, and practice how to pour, plus find your count.
Also, learn how to pour beer.
If you can do these things, you have the basic skill sets to be hired as a bartender.
Now, promptly forget all of this because if you get a job at a good bar you'll be way too busy to properly pour beer or drinks.
Done it multiple times, never had an issue.
Buy these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MXBNNRQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1465909832&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=rum+runner+cruise+kit&dpPl=1&dpID=51pwfFbBSRL&ref=plSrch
Fill them with whatever booze you want and roll them in towels/shirts/etc.
They are "Wine Spouts" available at pretty much every liquor store in America.

I use them for liquid hand soap as well.
Yep I use them all the time, they're great.
I use this bad boy. Works really well. Big enough opening to make cleaning pretty easy. And uses a standard bung.

Like this?
olive oil bottle for the kitchen, just add [one of these] (http://www.amazon.com/Chrome-Bottle-Pourers-Set-6/dp/B0009SZZQW)
The restaurant I worked at had these pourers. They stopped pouring after x amount. So, you got exactly what you wanted to pour (and didn't need to use jiggers).
wino
Really, on a Monday?
Have a good bday!! Big plans for the big day?
More like this, http://www.amazon.com/Final-Touch-Traditional-Decanter-Includes/dp/B002CV90TM/ref=sr_1_2?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1342885339&sr=1-2 the wine would not be that high with a full botel, the picture has more than one bottle poured, the ideal high would be the widest point, at which the wine has the largest surface area to breathe.
>If you're going for organic, I would look into latex toppers, but this person had better be willing to drop a few hundo
I'm trying to keep it as far under $400 as I can.
>Edit: http://www.amazon.com/International-POR-MT-Stainless-Free-Flow-Pourer/dp/B0060N2ZKE
Hahaha, I think that might not be the link you meant to share. But thank you!
>Though I've also read you want Talalay latex, but i dont know what that means.
Me neither! I'll Google it. Thank you so much for replying. :)
This needs to be higher. I have one of these and it rarely works as well as a good corkscrew. What it is good at is removing a cork that a corkscrew has torn the middle/top out of, but is still mostly intact. Frankly, in that case, I'm still more likely to try this little gem before I fall back to the "Ah-So".
I use these when I am not being lazy, otherwise just free pour. You can find them at Total Wines or other retailers in a three pack.
This is the one that I have used since July 2014. Amazon Link
They say "hand wash" i put it in the dishwasher. No problem.
I don't like the aretor though. It looks fancy and was all impressive. It's not fun to clean.
Also, pretty sure I paid 30 maybe 35 for it.

Aerating really does make a difference!
Also - how you doin? ;-)
I love to host parties so this 6 pack of drink pourers would help out a lot and make my bar look so much more legit!
When I am thirsty I love to drink water. I will never drink coffee when I am thirsty.
This may not be applicable to you, but I was considering one of these and went for a big mouth bubbler instead. I realized the only thing I really wanted the Brewbucket for, aside from "ooh shiny stainless", was a port to drain from instead of messing with autosiphons. The bubbler isn't as pretty, but it fit my needs.
I bought these to make sure I don't overpour
Building off of the wine suggestion, I've had great success with gifting a trio of useful things that a) she might not have or b) might not have good versions of-- reusable wine stoppers, aerator, and decanter. All of them have some very pretty options, and depending upon what versions of each you get, it's generally possible to get a good bottle of wine to go with it. My friends and I call it the Intro to Vino kit, and it's one of our go to practical gifts.
Otherwise, check out caseify or society6 for great art that makes phone cases go from meh to practical and pretty. Society6 also offers several other things- one of my graduation presents was a gorgeous laptop sleeve from a favorite artist's shop. The gifting guide they put together is awesome and has some good stuff at multiple price points (the $25 and under section is most of interest to your family), and checking out the site will unearth even more great and practical stuff.
would a bottle pourer fit in one of those bottles you linked? something like this
I ve always wanted to have liquor spouts for get togethers!
One thing that made me happy was that I finally asked out the girl I've liked for a few months!
She still hasn't answered me, but I think that's heading in the right directon.
Grape!
Ok, here's what I did... and I recommend doing this right before you leave (the night before should be fine), because if you hold onto it a few days the alcohol will evaporate a noticeable amount.
Note: We were allowed two wine bottles (750ml each) per stateroom but... Fuck wine, Everclear is better.
Step 1: Buy a bottle of Woodbridge brand wine (dark wine bottles work best, i think) - http://www.epermarket.com/Resource/ProductPic/P46/WZ02040004L.jpg
The top should look like the bottle in the picture, no foil covering or anything.
Step 2: Acquire one of these - https://www.amazon.com/Vinara-Bottle-Opener-Remover-Pressure/dp/B00H22W5ZC?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0
Step 3: Acquire Krazy Glue
Step 4: Acquire bottle of Everclear, or equivalent. (unopened is best, so the volume matches)
Step 5: Remove the small "seal" at the top of the Woodbridge cork. It's easy as pie, I used a safety pin.
Step 6: Use air pump to remove cork. (The air pump is used because it has a needle that goes straight down)
Do not remove cork unless you're ready to refill the bottle. If you remove the cork and let it sit outside the bottle for a few days it will expand slightly and become VERY difficult to put back in the bottle. Learn from my mistakes.
Step 7: Empty wine into another container.
Step 8: Carefully pour Everclear (or equivalent) into wine bottle. If it's anything like here in Georgia, they'll be the same volume (750ml).
Step 9: Push/hammer the cork back into the wine bottle. A dime works just right to help nudge it those few extra millimeters past the top of the cork (place dime on cork and use something thin and sturdy, like a nail, to transfer the force of the hammer to the dime).
(Also make sure the cork is facing in the same direction as it originally was. Again, learn from my mistakes!)
Step 10: Use Krazy glue to attach the "seal" back onto the top of the cork.
Step 11: Keep bottles upright as long as possible, as the alcohol will eat away at the cork material and it'll be floating around in the bottle... Thrice now, please learn from my mistakes!
Step 11: CONGRATULATIONS!! Your bottle should appear the same as it originally did on the shelf!
Side note: I packed a regular corkscrew so nobody got any funny ideas while going through security.
Even though the cork was facing the wrong direction, the alcohol had evaporated slightly (different levels in the two wine bottles I had), and there were bits of cork floating around in the bottle... We still made it through without a hitch.
I'm so excited! I printed off tasting guides for everyone, and packed some pour spouts so we don't waste anything.
These seem to be the most preferred speed pourers by bartenders and beverage directors I've interacted with. I seldom have an issue with bottle fitment, except for Patron and other similar bottles. They ain't cheap but worth every penny to me.

regardless you learn the count of pouring 1 shot with whatever pourer you use, and then just count
Apparently it is a Big Mouth Bubbler
Make sure to get the ported variety.
Bottle pourer?

I think a nice decanter with aerator enhances the stronger red experience. You should taste before you aerate at times so you appreciate the wine as it opens up.
I bought this one.
I've actually been using this for a while. http://www.amazon.com/Soiree-bottle-top-Wine-Decanter-Aerator/dp/B001HWW03K. I thought that was the venture thing on the shelf but from the picture I wasn't sure.
Capri Sun inspired, and with options based on how many games out of first we are
And, when you want to completely confuse the security man
I love wine so much (especially the dry whites). My boyfriend and I have a ton of bottles we need to get through at one point and I could totally use an aerator. You are so awesome for doing this!
Town Drunk
You can get this case or maybe this one to protect your phone!
The aerator is a nifty gadget will work wonders for your wine, and finally for a board game night the Resistance!
And i nearly forgot! Get some different bonsai seeds as well!
Oh Canada!
I could kiss you right now. This is the best wine aerator I've ever had. I used to have one but my cat smashed it after a year. Seriously though great buy for any red wine drinkers out there. Just keep it out of reach of creatures that enjoy breaking things.
