A Gift Guide for The Coffee Lovers in Your Life
This is the final gift guide, the gift guide for COFFEE LOVERS! 🙂 Did you miss my 2 previous gift guides, 10 Gifts for Bloggers (under $100) and 10 Gifts for Creatives? If you haven’t figured it out yet, I made a huge wish list, but I totally had YOU in mind. 🙂 10 Gifts for Creatives, was received quite well! I knew the gift guide for bloggers would do okay, but I was happy that I could share new creative products that many didn’t know about and would love to have in their lives via the gift guide for creatives. {Guess what, I want them too!!}
I’m a tea drinker too, but coffee trumps tea for me. I’m going to put a disclaimer out there: I love Starbucks, I know, that’s so basic. BUT WAIT, I’ve tried other coffee places and if you can’t make a proper Americano, then BOO on you. There was this place (of all places) in SOUTH CAROLINA that handcrafted WONDERFUL coffee! Collective Coffee. Sometimes I find myself craving their Almond Latte.
Collective Coffee has a hipster vibe, a Pinterest-perfect vibe, a get your phone out it’s Instagram-time vibe, and a total chill vibe. The people who worked there, when I went, were the friendliest people.
I realize this isn’t coffee, but their food is just as tasty and beautiful! CC + SBUX may have been the inspiration for this creative writing assignment for NaBloPoMo.
When I moved to the Seattle-ish area I just figured I would have the most amazing coffee.
The coffee is good, but I still frequent Starbucks. I do love that there are plenty of coffee huts, but the only one that I really enjoyed thus far is Mercury Coffee.
Back to my disclaimer…. sorry. I am also a shareholder. Yes, I seriously have stock in Starbucks. I was already giving them money might as well make a little money while spending it. Speaking of getting paid, I’m also a Starbucks affiliate, which means some of the products I share today will make me a little money if you decide to purchase using my links. 🙂 There’s no extra cost to you.
Paying it forward to the baristas. 🙂
I think you get the point. 🙂 We’re suckers for Starbucks. I do have to admit, I LOVE Dunkin’, too.
Anyway without further adieu 10 Gifts for Coffee Lovers:
1. If you’re serious about your coffee chances are you already have a french press, right? I do, I like it very much, but the coffee doesn’t stay warm. What I like about this french press from FP Coffee Makers is that it’s insulated, which is wonderful when you want more than one cup. (p.s Tea lovers this works with tea too.)
2. Mocha scented candles in recycled Starbucks iced coffee bottles| Because coffee lovers love the smell of coffee any time of day.
3. Nielsen-Massey Vanilla Sugar| When I go into Starbucks and make my own Americano I always enjoy adding the vanilla sugar plus a sprinkle of cinnamon. Vanilla sugar at home, yes!
4. Have you been to where it all started, the birthplace of Starbucks? I walked by it once. Of course, I wanted to go inside, but so did everyone else! People come from all over to take a picture in front of Pike Place Market Starbucks. If you get a chance to visit or you’re just a huge SBUX fan, this may make the best everyday take along tumbler.
5. If you use a reusable tumbler for your coffee Amaia Papaya Shop has the cutest handmade sleeves to protect your hands.
6. Sometimes you just can’t get enough coffee, so you scrub your body down with Coffee Butter Sugar from Sweet Sally’s Soap.
7. I have been coveting this shirt from Gravel Road Tees for too long- it will be mine. (I follow Gravel Road Tees on Instagram, they never disappoint.)
8. Hand painted mug by Vitraaze| Just when you thought coffee couldn’t get any more inviting. 🙂
9. Since I’m a nomad I figure I could possibly fill a tree with these cute ornaments from the Starbuck’s Local Dot Collection, how about you?
10. Since we’re wishing wouldn’t you love a freshly siphoned cup of coffee from this KitchenAid Siphon Coffee Brewer? I’m sure clean up wouldn’t be fun, but that coffee would taste amazing!!
So, coffee lover, what’s on your list?

December 17, 2015 at 9:32 amThat’s so cool, I didn’t know you were an SB affiliate! I’m going to remember this! I love their collection of travel mugs…the pretty ones! That coffee butter sugar scrub looks amazing too.
MrsA0K2001
December 18, 2015 at 6:32 pmYes, I’m an affiliate a pretty crappy one. I always forget about those links and banners. 😀 I love their travel mugs too!
I want that butter sugar scrub.

December 17, 2015 at 1:21 pmEeks I actually cringed when I saw the wall of gum! *shivers* lol. I don’t drink coffee but I’m more of a tea and hot chocolate kind of gal. I still love going to coffee shops even though I don’t drink 95% of the stuff there haha.
MrsA0K2001
December 18, 2015 at 6:45 pmYeah, the gum wall is not for the faint at heart. The city actually steamed the wall, washing away pounds and pounds of chewed gum. It’s already getting re-gummed 🙂
I love tea and hot chocolate too. One of my favorite places for hot chocolate is in Naperville, IL, they make the best Mexicocoa and chocolate chip cookies.
XOXO

December 18, 2015 at 8:37 pmHey Lovely! Thank you so so much for including my tee in this list. It made me day 🙂 We are closed for the holidays (I’ve been so busy trying to sell my house too) but I see that you simply must own this tee! Email me at gravelroadtee@gmail.com and we will work something out!
MrsA0K2001
January 3, 2016 at 5:55 pmI’m sorry for the delayed response! I’ve been in vacation mode. I hope you had a lovely holiday!
I absolutely love your tees, there was zero question I would add one to the gift guide- the hardest part was picking one. 😀
Wishing you all the best in 2016 and good luck with your house!!!
XOXO

December 20, 2015 at 9:45 ammm.. almond latte. I bet that’s really good.
The siphon thing and the french press are amazing. I am a big coffee lover but can’t drink anything but decaf. With quality beans, roasting and brewing, this is actually not an issue because it still tastes amazing!!
With poor quality, yeah, decaf is just coffee flavored water!
MrsA0K2001
January 3, 2016 at 6:01 pmAlmond lattes are SOO GOOD! I miss ’em.
I agree both siphon and french press are AMAZING.
XO

Wishing you and your family a lovely holiday!

December 20, 2015 at 6:17 pmI got a French Press a little while ago… it’s been great!
MrsA0K2001
January 3, 2016 at 6:02 pmRight!?! I love my French press. 🙂
XOXO

December 23, 2015 at 1:03 amwoah, gimme everything!!! I love your gift guide because I haven’t seen any of these ideas yet. So original! If I had to pick one thing it would be the vanilla sugar ^_^ And I love all of your Starbucks pictures!
MrsA0K2001
January 3, 2016 at 6:05 pmI wish could give you everything! I wouldn’t mind it all as well. 🙂 I really want some vanilla sugar in my life, although my husband might say I already have that. 😀
XOXO
It's a Happy Mail Fiesta!! {Spring Sweet Progress Box Swap #SPBoxSwap}
May 5, 2017 at 1:03 am[…] I REALLY LOVE COFFEE. My affinity for coffee gave Carly-Ann some yummy inspiration. 🙂 She totally spoiled me with coffee goodies. Let’s start off with my new Vancouver mug!! I’ve been eyeing-up the Seattle one at my local Starbucks. When I was opening up the box at first I thought it was the Seattle mug, but I quickly realized even cooler it’s VANCOUVER! I haven’t visited Canada yet, this will certainly serve as daily inspiration to finally go. It’s not like Canada is too far from me, I’m only about 2 hours away from Vancouver. 🙂 Cool, huh? […]

November 11, 2018 at 8:47 pmDean, I’m Team Tea all the way, but these are great ideas for my coffee-loving friends. When we end up at Starbucks, I always have a decaf hazelnut latte because their tea, well, very few places have tea up to my standards! #MMBH
