Unique Gift Ideas For Coffee Lovers
/
It’s officially the Holidays, which means glittering lights, good food, delicious drinks, and of course – gift giving. While some people seem to have a knack for getting people things they’ll love, for most of us, this can be a stressful undertaking. In fact, we’ve received requests from people asking us about gift ideas for coffee lovers. And while we touched on this in our most recent Café Session, we decided a more fleshed out response may be helpful for those of you struggling to figure out what to get the coffee enthusiast in your life. Below you will find our top gifts for coffee lovers, and you may be surprised to find none of the suggestions include another mug or bag of coffee!
This one is a little out there, especially if who you are shopping for only likes hot coffee (like my dad), but cold brew coffee has been all the rage for years now and doesn't seem to be slowing down. So it might be a cool way to introduce a new type of coffee beverage for the coffee lover in your life. Making cold brew is not too difficult; similar to steeping tea, you can get them something that allows the coffee to steep in the refrigerator to make the cold brew.
For your avid on-the-go coffee drinker that does not take their time to enjoy the cup, but rather likes to brew a pot and jet out the door, you can always get them a nice thermos to keep their coffee hot all day long!
Another cool gift, if they ride their bicycle often, is a coffee cup holder that attaches to the handlebars of a bike. The one linked here even has a place for their phone! Just hope they don't take a spill…
Coffee subscription might seem like a great gift, but if the person you get the gift for is particular about their coffee, you might want to make sure it is from a roaster they really like already. There's a really neat one I have seen that weighs the beans as you use them and sends you more when you are below the set quantity you desire to reorder at, so there is no actual need to reorder; they do it for you! Stamp Act Coffee in Seattle has a subscription like this.
5. Mug warmer
For those people who love coffee, but may be slow to finish their beverages, a mug warmer is the perfect gift! There is really nothing worse than looking up from your work and reaching for your cup of coffee, only to take a sip and realize it is now lukewarm, or worse, stone cold. A mug warmer takes this problem away and allows your coffee lover to enjoy hot coffee, no matter how long they take to finish their cup! Plus, these little warmers are small and usually pretty stylish, making them an aesthetically pleasing and useful part of any coffee lover’s desk!
The perfect combination of a caffeine boost with the relaxing effects of an evening cocktail – an espresso martini infusion kit gives the coffee lover (who also enjoys a cocktail or two at the end of the day), the best of both worlds! The espresso martini infusion kit found on Uncommon Goods even includes two different recipes so your coffee lover can mix it up!
When it comes down to it, giving a gift to someone is truly about the thought that counts, and all of the above suggestions show you a) pay attention to what they like, and b) put some thought into getting them something a little more unique and special.
