According to many polls of different scales, one of the frequent gifts, presents, tokens - coffee. A fragrant drink, in which you fall in love once and for all, is rarely inappropriate. Coffee as a gift - this is the case when you need something not very expensive, and at the same time useful, necessary. It is also important that the design of the gift is simply not to put in the bag in an original way, but the aesthetics of giving is also held in high esteem. But start with the right way to choose coffee.
Selection features
Good coffee is rarely found in the mass market. To do this, look in the coffee shop, finally, 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 him with plantation coffee. On sale are increasingly appearing varieties from small auctions, where the implementation of the harvest involved small farms. The drink has a very rich taste, and the bouquet will be appreciated by a true coffee lover.
The most preferred varieties are Columbia Exelso Sierra Nevada, Brazil Ipanema Dulce.
You can put a beautiful Turk in the coffee set: for a coffee lover, it certainly will not be superfluous.
Secrets of choice:
- if the person to whom the coffee is meant is a man of quick work, in an eternal rush, over-busy, give him an espresso mix;
- if you know that a person loves coffee, but he is glad to use it at work, where there is an opportunity to drink only an instant drink, give this one - among them there are also elite varieties;
- For those who have a coffee machine, Italian freshly roasted coffee will be a good gift.
There is a monosort of coffee: such a product is grown in a certain country and on a certain plantation. Climate, geography, soil composition and so on will influence how the drink will end up. It turns out, indeed, the original taste.
Espresso mixes, in contrast to monosorts, consist not only of Arabica, they are often tried to be supplemented with robusta. Components stabilize the taste. Italy and Sweden are leaders in the production of espresso mixes.
Flavored coffee is often given to women. The classics of the genre are called three flavors - vanilla, chocolate, caramel. In such a coffee you do not need to specifically add syrup: you can immediately buy coffee with Baileys liqueur flavor, 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 must be related thematically.
With sweets
To give coffee in an original way, you can add different sweets to it.
- Chocolate Well, where without this textbook solution! If you have been to European cafes, you may have noticed that even a cup of coffee is often served (for free) with a couple of cloves of chocolate. Give chocolate with special flavors, beautifully decorated. Bitter, milky, porous - a variety of options will do.
- Honey. You are mistaken if you think that this sweet addition is suitable only for tea. A beautiful jar of honey (which also has a huge variety selection) is always convincing and not very trite.
- Jam, jam. They can also approach coffee drinking. Especially if you cooked them yourself: natural dessert can be beautifully decorated by wrapping the caps with napkins and tied up with ribbons.
- Spice. Be sure to put them as a gift if the one to whom it is intended loves coffee in an Indian or Oriental way. Cardamom, cloves, allspice and, of course, cinnamon will make the gift complete.
- Cane sugar. It is believed that it allows the taste of coffee to open up more than the usual white refined. And also cane sugar is able to soften the bitterness present in coffee.
- Candies. Probably the first option in frequency. It can be sets of sweets with liqueur, with a wafer filling, nutty, cognac. If the gift is intended for a foreigner, give him sweets, which are considered the brand of your “sweet” industry.
- Marshmallow / marshmallow. Pleasant, delicate treats, which also have a lot of admirers. Many will not refuse with a cup of coffee to taste the fiery pastes or marshmallows in chocolate. Fortunately, today these products are also produced in quite interesting packages. No need to think how beautifully to pack a hotel, sweets were originally in presentable boxes.
If you give instant coffee, you can present it along with a thermocup: it is convenient for those who often drink coffee at work. If you present the product in beans, you can give it along with a spoon (with a beautiful engraving or unusual design).
Coffee bouquet
Another way to be original is to hand a coffee bouquet. It is necessary to practice a little before it turns out to arrange such a bouquet beautifully and reliably. Although there are options, as they say, for beginners. The main thing is to pack in a cellophane a pack (s) of coffee, sweets, fasten everything together with a good bandage, and then pick up the package, as if you did it in relation to a floral 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 buy this, you can put it inside a beautiful openwork napkin. A can (pack) of coffee, a pack of flavored sugar (it is sold today in the form of a bridge, a heart — cinnamon, lemon, wild berries, and so on), sweets.
And so that the basket still resembles a flower one, 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 to present a gift. These boxes look like souvenirs. You need a box, but rather a small box of plywood. But it should be quite roomy in order for a packet of coffee to enter it, as well as a dessert with a mug. If you give capsules for coffee machines, it is also beneficial to present them in a gift box.
Laying on a flat plywood surface is not an option. Need a special decorative chips, perfectly filling the space.
If desired, you can decorate it with sequins, beads, or even scattered small fragrant caramels in attractive wrappers.
In the gift box you can fit many more useful thematic items.
- Mugs. And remember, what actually should be the coffee cups - small, elegant, fragile in appearance. If it is a kit (cup, saucer) is also not bad.
- Biscuit. Take by weight the most delicious varieties of cookies. And better - bake it yourself for a proven recipe! If the New Year is coming, then ginger biscuits plus favorite coffee is just a recipe for good mood and salvation from the winter blues. Pack the cookies in cellophane, tie with ribbons.
- Syrup. Many people can not refuse a couple of drops of flavored syrup in coffee, because it is really delicious. You can take a mini-bottle, and offer several tastes at once.
- Turk. As already mentioned, there are not many of them. This may be a Turk with gift engraving, with an unusual pen and so on. A pack of coffee, a Turk, sweetness is a safe option for any holiday.
- Coffee card. You yourself can make a postcard from a design cardboard, “having bathed” it in coffee aroma.
- Book. The book is known to be the best gift.And so it is: a cup of coffee and an interesting book - these are the little things in life, which in fact are not at all the little things. If even a little guess what you can please a close bookworm, choose just such a pair: coffee and a book.
- Marshmallow. It's almost a marshmallow, only lighter, smaller and often prettier. For coffee with milk, this tasty decoration looks more than appetizing. If you still do not have a classic Instagram photo - a hand with a cup of coffee and inviting-festive marshmallows on his skin, urgently do it, it improves your mood.
- Monpanse Retro candy with candy again in fashion. You open such a sweet, touching tin, and there sugar-powdered caramel is a beauty that you want to drag right away in your mouth. There is something nostalgic about this. The aged people who remember how valuable these jars were will surely appreciate such an addition to coffee.
As you can see, the design of a gift is a significant part of it. Even the banalities that you present as a sign of attention, play a very different colors, if you arrange them with taste and imagination. Anticipation of opening a gift, unwrapping packages and ribbons is also a pleasure, and you can give it. And the coffee from such a feed seems to be getting even tastier!
