Making an Unusual Present with a Coffee Gift Basket
Coffee gift baskets are an unusual gift that not everyone thinks of. This is precisely why it's the perfect gift for someone who loves his or her coffee and can't live without his or her caffeine fix. There are so many ways to make this unusual gift even more outstanding.
From the types of coffee to the way you decide to present it to the person. It is a very practical gift and when given to someone who loves coffee you know that it will be used instead of sitting around on a shelf collecting dust. If this is important to you, that the gift be practical, then a coffee gift basket is the best gift.
Ethics
If the person that you want to give a coffee gift basket to is concerned about the people behind the coffee then there are many things you can look into to make this gift special. A coffee gift basket that contains fair trade coffee would be a nod towards the person's ethics.
There are however a range of things that can make a coffee more ethically conscious. Some coffees are grown on environmentally friendly farms that respect the surrounding habitat and do not use chemicals in the growing process. Buying a coffee gift basket like this says you respect your friend's decisions.
Taste
It's no secret that the stuff you buy from the supermarket is not as great as coffee that is roasted freshly for you. Buying your friend a selection of gourmet coffees in his or her coffee gift basket can make a friend's day. It will not only prove to be an experience for your friend as they try different types of coffee each morning but also a thought from you saying how much you care.
Enriching Experience
The little extras that you add on to your coffee gift basket can make all the difference. A nice mug is one way but there are other ways to make this gift special. If the recipient is just starting to discover the different types of coffee you can foster that love by giving them a book about coffee. Or you can add a coffee grinder that will help them get the freshest coffee. A selection of biscotti and other treats to go along with their morning coffee is another thoughtful touch to this gift. Think about your friend's tastes and choose the coffees accordingly.
