Everyone has that friend that drinks coffee so often you might as well give it to them in an IV. To them, coffee makes up a part of their life that they can’t live without. (If this sounds suspiciously familiar, consider the fact that you might be that friend.) If you give your friend a gift on any special occasions, make sure you should give them something they love: coffee. Or, well, coffee-related items.
Steer clear from the same bags of beans everyone else will buy, and check out these 10 gifts for coffee lovers.
1. Blanket
Around wintertime, the weather starts getting chilly and anyone will find it difficult to force themselves out of their warm bed, let alone coffee lovers. But their coffee maker lives in a different room, and they’re not Eleven from Stranger Things—they actually have to get up and walk to it. One way coffee addicts can stay warm and comfortable while still getting their daily cup(s)? A warm blanket. “I would like it if my friend bought me a warm blanket or a snuggy, so when I’m drinking my coffee I can be warm and comfortable, especially during the winter,” said Delaware County Community College sophomore Damarr Moon.
2. Frank Body Original Coffee Scrub
Blend skincare routines and coffee obsession with a coffee-blended facial scrub. The coffee scrub helps scrub away dry, flaky skin, and smells like your favorite latte in the process. Not only will your friend appreciate the excuse for a day of relaxation, she’ll appreciate getting a gift so unique gift as well. The coffee lover in her will get obsessed with the smell, and soon enough she’ll be rocking flawless skin and the scent of seriously good coffee. And who knows, she might even share.
3. Funny Travel Mug
If the coffee-obsessed in your life don’t have the patience for waiting in long lines, then they’ll love having a travel mug that’s always ready to pick up and go. “A coffee related gift, I would like personally is a travel mug. Then, I can make coffee at home without spending money and always carry it around with me. Also, it’s a nice mug to look at and I don’t have to wait in a long line for coffee,” said Temple University freshman Linsey Eldred. Instead of getting up early to stop by a coffee shop before class and then waiting in a long line, they can make coffee at home and take it with them to their class. They’ll save their money and maybe even bring you some coffee, too.
