Organic Coffee Gift Basket IdeasPeople like coffee. Just go to any local coffee shop and watch the business that flows through. Consuming coffee is what we do, so coffee gift baskets are a good gift for a friend, relative, or co-worker. Consider this; a coffee gift basket can be put together with a few long lasting items and some consumable items. Later, give gifts that replace the perishables. Making a Coffee Gift BasketThe basics of coffee gift baskets are, of course, whole bean coffee, syrups, powders, and maybe some tools. The coffee can be given in a sealed bag or a nice tin. Place the syrups in small bottles with nozzles. Make homemade labels for a nice touch. You can buy large amounts of syrup and pour it into smaller bottles. Then, you can make baskets for several people. Fill novelty shakers with powders like, cocoa, vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Using small shakers that are marketed for salt and pepper is perfect. Filling these containers means you can use the cinnamon or cocoa that you keep in your cupboard at home. Add to the basket with a few fun things. Here are some ideas for additional items to put in the basket:
When the coffee and all the other gift items are in the basket, pour the cheap whole beans in the empty spaces. These filler beans will provide a nice appearance and aroma. For the loose beans, just buy some cheap coffee; whole beans can be found for as little as $3 a pound. Selecting the CoffeeConsider organic coffee for the basket. Your friends and family may not purchase organic products for themselves, they will be grateful if they receive an organic gift basket. The idea of organics suggests that you care about their well-being. Shop for coffee according to where it is grown. Every region has a unique style coffee--Brazilian beans will provide a cup of coffee with a robust aroma and medium body. The flavor will seem dry and will linger in the mouth, but it is not overly acidic. Columbian coffee is more acidic and has a more full body. There is a unique, sweet and rich flavor to Columbian coffee that is consistently enjoyable. Columbian coffee is known to brew a stronger cup of coffee. Costa Rican coffee lacks any noticeable acidic qualities but still has a full body and fragrant aroma. The flavor is very smooth yet delicate. Ethiopian coffee has an earthy aroma and offers a rich, spicy flavor that compliments the earthy smell. The coffee will have a full body that is only mildly acidic, but the taste is not consistent. Guatemalan coffee gives a heavy bodied brew with a mild flavor that has chocolate and smoky hints to it. The coffee will be more a bit more acidic than the others mentioned. You can find a bunch of good websites about coffee at the Open Directory. Updated August 16, 2010 |
