Looking for an easy, fragrant gift to give to an office co-worker, friend, neighbor, or that special coffee lover in your life, consider making a coffee gift basket. It's very easy to make and allows you to be as simple or creative as you want.
You need only a few items to make your coffee gift basket a unique, thoughtful gift that is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face. You first need a basket, such as wicker basket with a handle for easy carrying. You will need some fill material to take up room and provide padding to keep everything in place. Fill material can be crumpled newspaper, plastic grocery bags, wrinkled up Kraft paper, etc. And finally, some nice colored tissue paper to put over the fill material.
Next select some nice coffee related gifts such as a coffee press, single serve coffee maker, coffee storage container, coffee grinder, etc. This is usually the biggest item in the basket and will be placed in the middle to attract the giftee's attention.
Now for selecting the coffee. Put in a nice selection of different types and flavors of coffee. You can find gourmet coffee in a variety of sizes for single serve pouches all the way up through 10- and 12-cup packets. Also, consider flavored creamers that require refrigeration.
Finally, toss in some items that go well with coffee, such as crunchy cookies, chocolate, miniature donuts, etc. Let your mind run wild. Try to select items that will not overpower the coffee when consumed together. Personally, I like to include items I know the recipient would like but probably would not buy for him or her self on a regular basis.
