Lovely Tea And Coffee Gift Baskets That Everybody Will Love

By Giselle Taylor


There are some people that are difficult to find presents for. Either they are so picky or they just seem to have everything already. Do you have acquaintances like these? If you do, a great gift to give them is tea and coffee gift baskets-they are timeless and elegant presents, perfect for anybody for any occasion.

Edible gift baskets are ideal gifts to give to sensible and unsentimental types of people. The tricky part is the food itself because many times the items inside the baskets are fresh produce with a limited time period for consummation. Nonetheless, we can work around this by giving baskets of food that are well packed and given at a reasonable period of time before the expiration date.

You will notice that people are either a coffee fan or a tea lover. Personally, I'm not inclined to drinking coffee-it just doesn't grab me the way it does with a few of my friends. They, on the other hand, drink at least 5 cups a day. It's not the best practice but one that many apparently observe. If you know that your recipient falls under any of these categories, then presenting a suitable gift beautifully decorated will be what you need to do.

Give a basket with bags of aromatic coffee blends or bags of gourmet coffee beans you can find in most grocery stores or online shops. Pack them together with a one of those special brewing apparatuses if the person you are giving it to is particularly fond of the whole coffee experience. If that is way beyond your budget, ditch the pricey gadget and replace with a lovely and personalized mug or tumbler. Include a few croissants, a couple of jars of yummy jams, and butter if you can have it. The beneficiary will be glad you're his friend after this.

There are also more than a few varieties of tea available for all the tea lovers out there. If you ask me, I love the fruity flavored ones because they taste excellent as iced tea when chilled. If you are unfamiliar with the person's preference, it is better to give him a more traditional kind like English Tea or Green Tea. Add in several scones and delicious marmalade for good measure.

You can also organize a set for both coffee and tea items and present them as twin breakfast gift baskets. Place them both in a pretty wicker tray and nicely arrange the packs of coffee and the bags of tea beside each other. Add some jars of fruit preserves and an exquisite tea set for 2 to 4 people. Your breakfast gift baskets will not only be a hit to the recipient but to everyone they know as well. Be prepared for compliments and to be asked some tips in your gift giving arsenal.

When you give these tea and coffee baskets, I need to warn you to make more of these soon. People love these presents and always ask for more of these from the creative and generous giver. Anybody would be pleased to have one of these beautiful gift baskets-thanks to you, someone is.
