They make special corks that will keep your champagne bubbly! I got one and it's life changing. Keeps the bubbles for a few days. Here it is if you want one.
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.
Its name appears to be Sir Perky novelty bottle stopper.
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.
get something like this and crotch it
Just get something like this if you're going to be drinking partial bottles of wine: https://www.amazon.com/Flex-Seal-Rubber-Wine-Bottle-Stoppers/dp/B00INB52N8
I'd probably but something like one of these links
http://www.amazon.com/Metrokane-Rabbit-Beverage-Stoppers-Assorted/dp/B005N0WCE4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418844236&sr=8-1&keywords=wine+stopper

But what TheMoneyOfArt is completely right. These products are pretty much meant for wine, beer should really be drank in one sitting. I've only ever used bottle stoppers for wine.
Specifically, this wine aerator: https://www.amazon.com/Soiree-bottle-top-Wine-Decanter-Aerator/dp/B001HWW03K
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.
We got an induction cooktop, it is really handy to have around, especially if you want to do cooks outside (like render fat, make hot sauce, bring to a car camping KOA spot etc)
just make sure your wiring can handle 1800W... as it is pretty high draw and can cause your circuit breaker to pop
http://www.amazon.com/1800-Watt-Portable-Induction-Countertop-8300ST/dp/B0045QFER4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1418248165&sr=8-3&keywords=duxtop+cooktop
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.
Could it be a bottle stopper? Like these things? https://www.amazon.com/Flex-Seal-Rubber-Wine-Bottle-Stoppers/dp/B00INB52N8
I haven't tried them, so all I can say is that I'm curious as well. For $12 for a 3-pack, it seems like they might be worth trying, the reviews appear pretty good:
https://www.amazon.com/FoodSaver-T03-0024-02-3-Pack-Bottle-Stoppers/dp/B0000CFPH9/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486514726&sr=8-1
On the surface, at least, it would seem like these must help, or at least not make things any worse. I hooked up an (uncalibrated) vacuum gauge to my Cenova sealer, it showed pulling about 23-25 in Hg (inches of mercury) of vacuum, or about 11.3-12.3 psi. A full vacuum is about 30 in Hg, 14.7 psi. So it at least got a lot of the air out.
One review mentions using these for oils, like olive oil. That's an interesting idea. The refined safflower oil that I bought suggests using it within 10-12 weeks of opening, or longer in the fridge. So presumably, if you also vacuumed it, it might stay good longer.
They might enjoy receiving an elegant carafe. This one for whites, and this one for reds.
Yep I use them all the time, they're great.
I drink to cope and eat sweets. I don't do either excessively tho, thank goodness!! I'm sorry today was so bad 😫 hugs pm me if you want to vent!! Oh and I have wine accessories on my main WL
Edit: just realized you said link. I have a few wine things but I picked this
They are "Wine Spouts" available at pretty much every liquor store in America.
https://www.amazon.com/Dispenser-Stainless-Perfect-Pour-285-50/dp/B00L34X1QC/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1495311135&sr=8-12&keywords=wine+spout
I use them for liquid hand soap as well.
Yes I use these for secondary fermentation/clearing. You can see if you stalk my post history. I use a 2 gallon bucket for primary fermentation. I believe the size stopper to fit the 1 Gallon (4 liter) bottles is a #6 bung.
Edit: use these Drilled Rubber Stopper #6 (Set of 3) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AFD9VSE/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_fXuZub0JM4F13
run get a #6 rubber stopper from your LHBS, or order from smile.amazon.com. Get 2 since it'll fit either one and doesn't depend on the thread.
I have a stopper like this one (you can generally find them at wine/liquor stores) and I swear it will keep champagne bubbly for at least a week. So you wouldn't necessarily waste the whole bottle...
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.
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).
I guess it varies slightly model to model. I mostly see these https://www.amazon.com/285-50-Chrome-Tapered-Poly-Kork-12-units/dp/B002J8RRAM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482344242&sr=8-1&keywords=spill+stop+pour
regardless you learn the count of pouring 1 shot with whatever pourer you use, and then just count
Maybe something like this? - https://www.amazon.com/Cocktail-Caddy-Cruise-Liquor-Alcohol/dp/B00L8K1CEY
Whaat seriously?? I'm a vet student! Techs are THE BEST, we love them.
Happy birthday, /u/plungerwhisk! Since you, like me, love both animals and wine, there are two amazing things on my list suited for both of us! The first is both useful and cute, as keeping your wine fresh (and gnat-free) is a must. The second is equally adorable, and very helpful for keeping yourself sorted when entertaining!
I hope you have a lovely birthday! This is such a cute contest!
I bought these to make sure I don't overpour
+1 for this opener. It holds a seal pretty well. For 750's I have these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001PNBZEQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_18?qid=1413647079&sr=1-18&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70

Aerating really does make a difference!
Also - how you doin? ;-)
I have this.
Friends have the more expensive one, but this gets the job done for twenty six bucks. Nice craftmenship, a thick edge so it's not too brittle. Looks good too!
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.
Town drunk
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.
Capri Sun inspired, and with options based on how many games out of first we are

Yep, I bought these. https://www.amazon.com/FoodSaver-T03-0024-02-3-Pack-Bottle-Stoppers/dp/B0000CFPH9
One way valve, they call it an accessory port, there is a tube, you connect the tube to the foodsaver to the bottle stoppers.
would a bottle pourer fit in one of those bottles you linked? something like this
I have a growler with a similar stopper, but last time I filled it up the beer went flat after 2 days. Perhaps its because I would pour myself a glass a couple times a day and that helped kill the carbonation...
Anyways, for a bottle I usually use this:
http://www.amazon.com/FoodSaver-T03-0024-02-3-Pack-Bottle-Stoppers/dp/B0000CFPH9
I take one of those toppers, and use my FoodSaver vacuum with a small hose to suck the air out of the bottle. It seems to work very nicely for up to 24 hours. I haven't tried longer than that.
You need a s'mores maker!
And LEGO slippers!
This crime scene tape is pretty rad.
And this guy :D
Plus the coolest bottle opener ever.
Thank you for the contest!
This wine carafe would hold my wine for when we are drinking during dinner (full school experience). I would imagine I may be able to use the bottle to store potions, if needed.
This umbrella resembles the shape of a broom with it I would be able to keep myself dry when it rains, and possibly would be able to substitute it for flying, if I could figure out how.
If I had this kit, I could learn to crochet myself a hat. The hat would clearly be needed for days when it is chilly and we are doing outdoor activities, like gathering stuff for spells.
In between studies, I will need a book to help pass the time. What better than a book with murder and magic!
People carry stuff in their trunk. They also carry stuff in luggage. I will need luggage to bring things to school. I will also need these straps to keep my trunk/luggage closed, and to make sure I can identify which is mine. Obvious necessity. =)
So I have this towel, which could clearly be used as a cape. It may say yoga towel by definition, but a towel is a towel. I will have to shower sometime, and no one wants to just drip dry.
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.

10 Teardrop Shape Bottle Stopper Kits in Heavy Duty Chrome Plate https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DIBISC0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_NHIVBb2E8WSZD
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.
I love that combo as well. The wenge and maple looks pretty good as well.

I've had success with champagne bottle stoppers. I've had better success recapping entirely, but that's not always practical for non-brewers.
I have used this model for years now and it is wonderful. I highly recommend it.
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.
You won't get the job done for $1000. Sorry. I'd suggest you check out Consumer Reports which often has oven and range reviews alone with street pricing. I believe the GE is the currently recommended oven at about $1900.
How about an all-day spa trip?
Maybe you can bank the $1K and next year you'll have enough for a new oven. But frankly I wouldn't get one to surprise her. This sort of equipment is very personal.
What I might suggest is that you get a nice induction hot plate - about $70. Your wife can use this and see if she likes using induction and you can see which pans work. You can use the magnet trick - any pan sufficiently magnetic for a magnet to stick will be induction capable. You can also purchase a flat metal adapter plate which is magnetic and goes between the pan an induction pan.
I have a couple of these - Duxtop 1800 which work very nicely.
I'm curious - does your HOA forbid the use of gas grills?
