Coffee Gift Baskets
I want to make my parents and in laws a Gift Basket, what should I put inside?
My in laws and my parents have done a lot for me, and I want to give them a homemade gift basket as a “thank you” gift. They both like drining coffees and teas. What kinds of things can I put into the basket? And I don’t want to buy a ready-made basket, because I know both my parents and in laws really appreciate it when I give them homemade stuff.
What a WONDERFUL adult child you are! First, get a really GOOD basket they can use after they take the ‘stuff’ out … then add the following stuff …
1. a pair of really ‘appropriate’ cups or mugs … choose them for their art work AND their capacity. Have you ‘listened’ when they were drinking and heard ‘small complaints’ about their cups or mugs? Can you find ‘the perfect cup/mug’ for that person? THAT is the ‘beverage server’ you want to get.
2. Get bags of real coffee beans … get one each of the different ‘roasts’ … light, medium, and dark, and also get at least four of the ‘flavored’ coffees, and be sure to get some with caffeine and some decafeinated.
3. Get a ‘grinder’ so they can grind their beans, even if they normally drink instant. They WILL love grinding their own coffees if you do this.
4. Get at least 5 different ‘flavors’ of tea bags … some ‘herbal’ and some ‘real teas’ in the flavors you think they’ll like best.
5. Get at least 5 different ‘loose teas’ (same as 4)
6. Get a nice ‘tea strainer’ … they have some that are really nice, that can be ‘hung on the wall’ with little ‘charms’ on the other end of the chain. I’ve got one now, and I drink A LOT MORE loose tea because I’ve hung it on the wall, and don’t have to ‘search’ through the drawer for it.
6. Get some ‘unusual’ cookies, brownies, and, if they like a ‘sweet’ for breakfast, get them some ‘breakfast cookies’ you think they’ll like.
7. Get them a good ‘small’ cookbook of cookie/brownie/ breakfast sweets so they can ‘make their own’ or just enjoy reading it while drinking their goodies.
8. Add two ‘special spoons.’ You may also put in two small good plates, to set their cookies on.
Wrap it in a NICE tablecloth rather than using ‘plastic’ … they’ll probably have a small table they can use it on (or can buy one for very little if they want) … and MOST IMPORTANT write each couple a ‘note’ saying how MUCH you appreciate them ‘being there’ for you all this time, and that you want them to ‘relax’ and be happy, because it is because of THEM that you and your spouse are so happy.
