Lovely Tea And Coffee Gift Baskets That Everybody Will Love

By Giselle Taylor

What do you give to people who you need to impress, who are picky and who probably have every material thing they could ever need? I can tell you right now one of the most perfect presents to give are tea and coffee gift baskets. These are beautiful and matchless presents that any person will be delighted to own for himself.

Edible gift baskets are ideal gifts to give to sensible and unsentimental types of people. The tricky part is the food itself because many times the items inside the baskets are fresh produce with a limited time period for consummation. Nonetheless, we can work around this by giving baskets of food that are well packed and given at a reasonable period of time before the expiration date.

Everybody falls under two categories: the coffee drinkers or the tea lovers. I do not have a love affair with coffee but many of my friends do. They would drink around 5 to 8 cups a day and I'm sure many of you do the same. It's not the best habit to take on obviously; but as it happens, it is one many people do daily. Learn which of these two types your recipient is and present him the gift as most befitting his personal tastes.

If you are planning to give a coffee basket, get packs of coffee beans or some gourmet blends in the grocery or online specialty stores. You can take your pick from several more exotic kinds and put it in with a beautifully designed mug or a cool tumbler the person can use anytime. Set this in a basket along with croissants, several jars of delectable jams and unsalted butter if possible. The recipient will find a delightful meal open before him as he unwraps the well planned and thoughtful package you gave.

There are also more than a few varieties of tea available for all the tea lovers out there. If you ask me, I love the fruity flavored ones because they taste excellent as iced tea when chilled. If you are unfamiliar with the person's preference, it is better to give him a more traditional kind like English Tea or Green Tea. Add in several scones and delicious marmalade for good measure.

Consider presenting both coffee and tea together and arrange them as beautiful breakfast gift baskets. Find a large wicker tray or basket and place inside the packs of coffee and tea beside each other. For people you especially want to impress, include an exquisite looking tea set for two along with charming little jars of fruit preserves they can use to spread on toast. These lovely breakfast gift baskets will surely stand out from all the other generic presents.

When you give these tea and coffee baskets, I need to warn you to make more of these soon. People love these presents and always ask for more of these from the creative and generous giver. Anybody would be pleased to have one of these beautiful gift baskets-thanks to you, someone is.
