Coffee related gifts are the theme of my life right now. College kids are starting to arrive home, and they come into Brown and Jenkins looking for flavored holiday coffees to bring home to their folks. Glenn, our master roaster, has created some great holiday flavors that anyone will love to try: Bourbon pecan torte, Cinnamon nut butter rum, Jingle Bell Java and spiced egg nog flavored coffees. Mmmmm-- is your mouth watering yet?
Anyway, this blog is in direct response to the question- What should I get for my mom/dad/wife…who loves your coffee? This one is a piece of cake. Whether you get an idea from our local coffee shop, or some other coffee related implement, the choices are almost endless. Here are some of my simplest suggestions for coffee gift giving.
Gift baskets- Either our Very Vermont Gift Basket or the Vermont Holiday Breakfast Box are both under $50 and chock full from everything from Vermont maple syrup to Vermont jelly and our special blends of gourmet coffee.
Teacher gifts- Some of our most popular items for thanking teachers include a bag of chocolate flavored coffee beans, locally grown honey, jams, jellies, homemade biscotti, cocoa, and of course 83 of our fresh roasted gourmet coffees.
Coffee Break Club memberships- This is a gift that keeps on giving all year round, and really wows your recipients. Sign your mom or loved one up for our coffee break club, and they will receive freshly ground coffee beans, on their desired schedule. Plus, we'll even send a sample 20 ounce bag of a new coffee with every shipment for them to try. (You're thinking of signing up yourself aren't you?) Trust me when I say, that people simply rave about this one.
College students- Bags of beans, a small grinder and other essentials like filters, sweeteners and mugs are easy to throw into your own basket at a minimal cost, and they will appreciate it all year round.
If you're still stuck, stop by and I'll help you brain storm. I'm full of ideas you can get either here at the shop, or at some of the local merchants within a 20 minute drive. I'll have coffee brewing!
Until our next cup,
Sandy Riggen
