According to many polls of various sizes, one of the most frequent gifts, presents, signs of attention is coffee. A fragrant drink that you fall in love with once and for all is rarely out of place. Coffee as a gift is the case when you need something not very expensive, and at the same time useful, necessary. Making a gift is also important - just to put it in a bag is not at all original, but the aesthetics of giving are also held in high esteem. But you should start with how to choose the right coffee.
Features of choice
Good coffee is rarely found in the mass market. To do this, you need to look into the coffee shop, finally, for this you need to be “in the subject”. If you know that the person to whom the gift is intended brews coffee only in the Turk, Kemex or the press, you can please it with plantation coffee. Varieties from small auctions are appearing more and more actively on sale, where small farms are engaged in the sale of the crop. The drink has a very rich taste, and a bouquet will be appreciated by a true coffee lover.
Most preferred varieties are Colombia Excelsio Sierra Nevada, Brazil Ipanema Dulce.
You can put a beautiful Turk in a coffee set: for a coffee lover, it certainly will not be superfluous.
Secrets of choice:
- if the person to whom coffee is intended is a person of fast deeds, in eternal haste, over-occupied, give him an espresso mixture;
- if you know that a person likes coffee, but is glad to use it precisely at work, where there is the opportunity to drink only an instant drink, give just that - among them there are also elite varieties;
- For those who have a coffee machine, Italian freshly roasted coffee is a good present.
There are monosorts of coffee: such a product is grown in a certain country and on a certain plantation. The climate, geography, soil composition, and so on, affect what the drink will ultimately be like. It turns out, really, an original taste.
Espresso mixes, unlike monosorts, consist not only of arabica coffee, they are often tried to supplement with robusta. The ingredients stabilize the taste. Italy and Sweden are leaders in the production of espresso mixes.
Flavored coffee is often given to women. Three aromas are called classics of the genre - vanilla, chocolate, caramel. In such coffee, you do not need to specifically add syrup: you can immediately buy coffee with the taste of Baileys liquor, for example.
How to present?
It's great if you decide to present ground coffee (or any other) in a set: that is, the drink itself plus an addition to it. Of course, the components of the gift should be connected thematically.
With sweets
In order to present coffee in an original way, you can supplement it with various sweets.
- With chocolate. Well, where without this textbook decision! If you have been to European cafes, you might have noticed that even a cup of coffee is often served (for free) a couple of slices of chocolate. Give special flavors of chocolate, beautifully designed. Bitter, milky, porous - a variety of options will do.
- Honey. You are mistaken if you think that this sweet addition is only suitable for tea. A beautiful jar of honey (which also has a huge varietal selection) is always convincing and not very banal.
- Jam, jam. They can also approach coffee drinking. Especially if you cooked them yourself: a natural dessert can be nicely decorated by wrapping the lids with napkins and bandaging them with ribbons.
- Spice. Be sure to put them as a gift if the person to whom he intends likes coffee in Indian or Oriental. Cardamom, cloves, allspice and, of course, cinnamon will make the present complete.
- Cane sugar. It is believed that it allows the taste of coffee to open more than the usual white refined. And also cane sugar can soften the bitterness present in coffee.
- Candy. Probably the first frequency option. It can be candy sets with liquor, with waffle filling, nut, cognac. If the gift is for a foreigner, give him sweets that are considered a brand of your “sweet” industry.
- Marshmallows / Marshmallows. Pleasant, delicate delicacies, which also have a lot of admirers. Many will not refuse with a cup of coffee to taste viscous pastille or marshmallows in chocolate. Fortunately, today these products are also available in rather interesting packaging. No need to think about how beautifully to pack a gift, sweets originally in presentable boxes.
If you give instant coffee, you can present it with a thermo mug: it is convenient for those who often drink coffee at work. If presenting the product in grains, you can give it along with a spoon (with a beautiful engraving or unusual design).
Coffee bouquet
Another way to pass for the original is to give a coffee bouquet. You will have to exercise a bit before you get a beautiful and reliable design for such a bouquet. Although there are options, as they say, for beginners. The main thing is to pack a pack (packs) of coffee, sweets in cellophane, fasten everything together with a good dressing, and then pick up the packaging, as if you were doing this in relation to a flower bouquet.
It will be even easier to make a coffee bouquet in a basket. Surely you saw how the flowers look in a small basket (it can be with a pen, and without). You also need to purchase one, you can put it inside with a beautiful openwork napkin. A jar (pack) of coffee, a package of flavored sugar (it is sold today in the form of a bridge, a heart - cinnamon, lemon, wild berries and so on), sweets are sent there.
And so that the basket still resembles a flower, you can decorate it with real flowers around the perimeter (or, if there is such a skill, with chic crepe paper flowers).
Gift box
This is a very popular way of presenting a gift today. Boxes like souvenirs look. You need a box, but rather a small box of plywood. But it should be quite roomy in order for a pack of coffee to enter, as well as dessert with a mug. If you give capsules for a coffee machine, it is also beneficial to present them in a gift box.
Putting on a flat plywood surface is not an option. Need a special decorative shavings that perfectly fill the space.
If desired, you can decorate it with sequins, beads, or even scattered with small fragrant caramels in attractive wrappers.
In the gift box you can fit many more useful thematic items.
- Mugs And remember what coffee cups really should be - small, elegant, fragile in appearance. If it is a set (cup, saucer) is also not bad.
- Biscuits. Take by weight the most delicious varieties of cookies. And better - bake it yourself according to a proven recipe! If the New Year is coming, then gingerbread cookie plus your favorite coffee is just a recipe for good mood and salvation from winter spleen. Pack cookies in cellophane, tie them with ribbons.
- Syrup. Very many can not refuse a couple of drops of aromatic syrup in coffee, because it is really delicious. You can take mini-bottles and offer several tastes at once.
- Turk. As already mentioned, there are not many of them. It can be a Turk with a gift engraving, with an unusual pen, and so on. A pack of coffee, Turk, sweetness - a win-win option for any occasion.
- Coffee card. You yourself can make a postcard from a design cardboard, “having bathed” it in a coffee aroma.
- Book. The book is known to be the best gift. And this is so: a cup of coffee and an interesting book are the little things in life, which in fact are not at all trifles. If you have any idea how you can please a close bookie, choose just such a pair: coffee and a book.
- Marshmallow. It's almost a marshmallow, only lighter, smaller and often prettier. On coffee with milk, this delicious decoration looks more than appetizing. If you still do not have a classic Instagram photo - a hand with a cup of coffee and invitingly-festive marshmallows on its foam, urgently do it, it cheers you up.
- Montpensier. Candy retro jars are back in fashion. You open such a cute, touching tin, and there caramel powdered with sugar is a beauty that you immediately want to drag into your mouth. There is something nostalgically sweet about it. People aged who remember the value of these jars would surely appreciate such an addition to coffee.
As you can see, gift design is a significant part of it. Even the banalities that you present as a sign of attention play with completely different colors if you design them with taste and imagination. Anticipation of opening a gift, unwrapping packaging and ribbons is also a pleasure, and you can give it. And coffee from such a serving seems to become even tastier!
