Why Shot Skis Make the Perfect Wedding Gift

Looking For a Wedding Gift for Ski Lovers?

When it comes to finding the perfect wedding gift for a couple who lives and breathes snow, slopes, and après-ski vibes, the usual gift list options just won’t do. You want something that captures their personality, their shared passions, and their sense of fun and that Smeg toaster just doesn't cut it. Enter: the shot ski - a brilliantly bold and hilariously unforgettable gift for any ski-loving couple.

What Is a Shot Ski?

A shot ski is exactly what it sounds like: a ski with multiple shot glasses attached, allowing several people to take a shot at the same time. It’s a staple of ski town bars and mountain cabin parties, and it brings a fun, communal twist to any celebration. For a couple who met on the mountain or spends every winter weekend chasing fresh powder, a shot ski is more than just a novelty—it’s a symbol of their lifestyle.

Why Get a Shot Ski as a Wedding Gift?

1. It’s Unique and Personal

Most wedding gifts fall into two categories: practical (think toasters and towels) or decorative (think picture frames and vases). A shot ski breaks the mould. It’s a wedding gift that says “I know you.” It’s personal, memorable, and unlike anything else they’re likely to receive. At Plank Studio, you can even customise it with their names, wedding date, imagery or a quote that’s meaningful to them - like “Have a shot we tied the knot" or "Ski fast, love hard.”

2. Perfect for Après-Ski and Parties

Shot skis aren’t just for display - they’re made for use. Whether it’s New Year’s Eve, a ski trip with friends, or a cosy chalet celebration, a shot ski turns any gathering into a party. For newlyweds who love entertaining, it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Bonus points if you gift it alongside a bottle of their favourite schnapps or bottle of Champagne.

3. A Symbol of Their Shared Passion

Marriage is about sharing life’s adventures - and for ski lovers, the mountain is a huge part of that adventure. A wedding gift shot ski represents their shared love for the outdoors, adrenaline, and a bit of après-ski mischief. It’s playful, it’s adventurous, and it fits perfectly with the spirit of a couple who thrives on winter fun.

4. It Doubles as Wall Art

Don’t have the slopes nearby? No problem. A well-made shot ski also doubles as rustic decor. Hung up in a home bar, game room, or even above the fireplace, it becomes a conversation starter and a reminder of great times together. Your beautifully crafted Plank Studio shot ski looks great on any wall. Check out our guide on how to hang a shot ski here.

5. It's a Toast to a Life of Fun Together

Wedding gifts are often symbolic—and what better symbol of joy, spontaneity, and shared moments than a ski meant for toasting together? Every time the couple uses it, they’ll be celebrating not just the occasion, but their life together. It’s the kind of gift that keeps on giving, shot after shot.

Bottom Line: If you're shopping for a wedding gift for a couple who counts down the days until ski season, skip the blender. A shot ski is the perfect blend of fun, function, and personality - a gift that celebrates who they are and what they love. Because what says “cheers to love” better than a synchronised shot on a hand-carved wooden ski?
