This past spring, I was looking for a birthday gift idea for my kind of hard to shop for brother-in-law. I knew he liked Whiskey, but he's a busy father of three and a full handle just seemed like something that would sit on the top of his fridge, collecting dust. I thought up the idea of a mini-bottle Whiskey sampler, and it was a huge hit. I basically bought any mini-bottle at my local liquor store, and told him to enjoy one (or all of them) after a stressful day.
I drew the same brother-in-law for our family's gift exchange this year and thought I'd re-create something similar. A hot sauce sampler!
So far, I have:
Trader Joe's Jalapeno Hot Sauce
Any others I'm missing that should be included?
Also, what else would make a good sampler pack as a gift? Mini bottles of champagne? Craft Beer? Olive Oils? Anything I'm missing!
My husband purchased a package of 7 different tabasco hot sauces this summer. We didn't even know they had so many flavors until he found this variety pack. We use them all the time! http://www.amazon.com/Tabasco-Chrome-Caddy-Family-Flavors/dp/B000ROAVLC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1354043841&sr=8-3&keywords=tabasco

Also, beer might be a good one. Some stores allow you to make your own six-pack with assorted beers.

This is a very good idea that I'm totally going to steal.

I like Cholula Hot Sauce or the Chipotle Tabasco.

My husband loves all hot sauces, but his favorites are Chipotle Tobasco and Nando's Peri Peri Sauce (medium and hot). You can get both at Target.

I am obsessed with the Nando's hot sauce. I wasn't sure if it came in small bottles (at the restaurant the bottles are huge), but it appears to: http://www.hotsauceworld.com/nandos-hot-sauce.html
And this is a very cute idea!

Cholula! You have to include cholula! It's by far my favourite out of the usuals!
