I rely heavily on gourmet coffee gifts around the gift giving season. These make for the perfect gifts to give to friends, relatives, coworkers and neighbors! Chances are, they love coffee and giving a gourmet coffee gift is the perfect idea! These gifts can range from very simple - under $10 to quite extravagant, depending on your budget and gift strategy. Today in this article we will focus on a few great gourmet coffee gift ideas!
The first, most simple, gourmet coffee gift idea would be to give a $10 gift card to a local coffee shop. This is a great idea so that the recipient can choose what they would like to purchase! Perhaps it will be a couple different specialty coffee drinks, a travel mug, or a delicious pound of gourmet beans. Whatever they choose, you know they will be satisfied. This is also a great gift for non-coffee drinkers as they can pick up some bakery items or other drinks, such as specialty teas, that are not coffee-related.
If you are looking for something a little more special, think about giving a small set. This is perfect for coworkers, or perhaps even a boss you actually like! I like to get a cute coffee mug, fill it with a couple small bags of one-pot sized flavored coffee, and include a small gift card as well. The great thing about this gift is how versatile it is. I like to get special mugs, for instance I have a coworker who loves flowers, so I purchased a mug with yellow roses on it. The ideas are endless and the result of this gift is perfectly lovely!
When thinking about a more over-the-top or extravagant gourmet coffee gift, think about purchasing or putting together a beautiful gourmet coffee gift basket. This is actually a very fun gift to make, and of course to receive! I like to purchase a beautiful wicker basket from a local craft store. While I'm there I make sure to pick up some cellophane wrapper and beautiful big bow! Next comes the really fun part - filling the basket! This is where creativity shines. I like to stuff it with a couple different kinds of coffee, a few coffee mugs, gourmet syrups and sugars and a baked pastry item or two. I also like to stuff in a couple non-food related items such as coffee-themed stationary, stickers, pens or other items!
