When you want to spend time with friends or someone special, its best to do it with these two things - coffee & gifts. Asking for a coffee is simply asking someone to spend time with you. Asking for a coffee is the most common question for a date. And if gifts accompanies the date, what a beautiful combination it will be, it will make the person feel glad that you want to spend the time with him/her.

You can make a gift out of a coffee mug, by wrapping it up around by colorful papers & ribbons. You can also gift someone a beautifully decorated bucket, filled with various types of coffee grown around the world. This gift will be most adorable & will be kept as a memorable one. The different coffee beans will make your environment full of pleasant odors.

To really show your friends your appreciation, locate unusual bread or coffee cake recipes. If your friend really likes a certain flavor, try to find recipes that include their favorite flavor as an ingredient. Bake a batch of bread or coffee cake and wrap it in a gorgeous tea towel. Don’t forget to tie the towel with a ribbon. Attach a little charm and the recipe. Remember to include a set of coffee cups and a cute mini butter knife.

If your loved one is fond of cooking, then you may gift him some kind of kitchen appliance which may be used to make his/her favorite dish. For example, if your loved one likes coffee, you may gift him/her a coffee grinder along with different types of coffee beans, so that he/she can make his/her favorite dish. This kind of gifts may feel unusual but it will be full of fun & happiness for your loved one.

If you fancy yourself as a gourmet cook, why not throw a coffee tasting party on a cold winter day? Decide if you want your guests to know what coffee they are drinking, or if you will have “blind” taste tests to introduce them to new blends and roasts. Make some wonderful treats that go well with coffee; maybe something with cinnamon, allspice or nutmeg. Try tea cakes, coffee cakes or breads cut into tiny shapes. Gather a variety of coffee, from mild to robust and remember to include some exotic flavors. Have different sweeteners on hand such as sugar, honey, and non-sugar alternatives.

Since the other senses come into play when enjoying coffee, set the table with soft materials for the table covering, whole coffee beans for aroma and texture and play music that fits your theme. Take the time to set an atmosphere of relaxation, friendship and enjoyment so your friends know you are happy to have them there.

Put together little parting gifts in beautiful bags. You can put samples of coffees in small cello bags tied with ribbon. Gourmet coffee stores sell spoons coated with chocolate and other flavors that could be tied to the bag as an embellishment. Include a handwritten note telling your friend some things you appreciate about them.

Coffee, gifts and friends, what a wonderful combination! Enjoy the little things in life with those that you love, share your thoughts and feelings over a cup of coffee and you will find that the world may not be so overwhelming after all. It’s all in how you approach life, and a good cup of coffee is a great place to start!
