Photo: A hand holding a small glass bottle of gin in sharp focus towards the camera, with a blurred background showing a person. The bottle has a black screw cap and a cream-coloured label reading "THAT BOUTIQUE-Y GIN COMPANY" at the top, followed by "Moonshot Gin" and "London Dry Gin" below. The clear liquid is visible inside the bottle. The person holding it is out of focus but appears to be wearing something pink or peach-coloured. In the soft-focus background, hints of a room with various colours including purple and yellow are visible.

Photo: A bald man with black-framed glasses and a long ginger and purple ombre beard sits facing the camera in a home office. He's wearing a pale pink hoodie with black text reading "you are enough" across the chest. His expression appears mid-speech. Behind him is a busy pegboard wall covered with framed posters including a Moseley Folk Festival 2015 lineup poster featuring acts like Teenage Fanclub and Nick Mulvey, various artwork, and colourful decorations. To the left, a computer monitor displays a purple screen with a cartoon character. A wooden desk with items on it sits beneath the pegboard. To the right is a bright blue painted door with a brass handle, and a large yellow rubber duck sits on a shelf nearby. The office has an eclectic, creative atmosphere with multiple colours and decorative elements throughout.

Photo: A bald man with black-framed glasses and a full purple beard holds a small glass bottle of Tanqueray London Dry Gin towards the camera. The bottle has a dark green cap and a cream-coloured label with gold lettering. His hands dominate the foreground, with gold-painted nails visible on one hand. Behind him, a woman with bright red hair wearing a black top with coral or pink floral patterns sits on a bed with a grey fabric headboard. The bedroom setting features a grey wall with a white-framed artwork showing colourful butterflies or flowers in the upper left, and a Leopold Museum poster on the right side.

Photo: A hand holding a small glass bottle of gin towards the camera, dominating the foreground. The bottle has a dark grey screw cap and a white label reading "DRINKS by the DRAM" with "Gordon's Sicilian Lemon" and "Gin" printed below. The pale golden liquid is visible inside. Behind the bottle, slightly out of focus, sits a woman with red hair wearing a black top and red apron on a grey sofa, smiling at the camera. A man in a white and blue sleeved shirt sits next to her, his hand extended holding the bottle. A red and black tartan blanket covers their laps. The familiar living room setting shows pale pink curtains, cream walls with framed photographs, and purple curtains visible to the right. A decorative sequined cushion sits on the sofa to the left.

Photo: Two people sitting on a sofa in a living room. On the left, a woman with bright red hair wearing a black top, smiling at the camera. On the right, a bald man with a purple beard wearing a black t-shirt with "GAP" printed on it, looking directly at the camera with a neutral expression. Behind them are pale pink curtains and a wall with framed photographs. In the foreground on the left is part of a decorative cushion with an animal print pattern.

Photo: An upside-down squeezy bottle of Heinz Monster Munch Pickled Onion Flavour Mayo on a wooden worktop. The bottle has a purple label with the distinctive Monster Munch mascot and cartoon bats. Behind it sits a blue "Drinks by the Dram" gift box, because apparently my kitchen has become a shrine to questionable flavour combinations. The mayo is pale yellow, which is either reassuring or deeply concerning depending on your relationship with pickled onions—and mine is clearly complicated.
