Do it Yourself Gift Ideas
Sometimes choosing a gift for someone can be really difficult. It can also seem impersonal or be hard on the wallet. If you have some extra time this holiday season, why not venture into making something instead. Here are my top ideas for great “do it yourself” gifts―and great activities to enjoy with a nice cup of coffee.
Baking:
Nothing says love with a hint of delicious like a home-baked cake! When someone gives you a home-made baked good, it’s like getting a gentle touch of nostalgia. Nothing reminds me more of being under one roof with my whole family than a freshly baked cake. Try some of our recipes here

Crafts:
If I look back at some of the gifts my parents kept of when I was kid, they are all home-made cards and crafts. Many cities have cafés where you can choose and paint ceramic pieces. Nothing says “perfect gift!” like a custom-made coffee mug!
Recipe Book:
Sometimes the best gifts are the best-kept secrets. If you’re known for cooking and have a knack for developing fantastic recipes, why not create a small cookbook of all your recipes to give as a gift? You can use some of our coffee-inspired recipe
ideas.
Coffee Mug Candle:
Here is an idea that would surprise anyone! If you can get your hands on a nice mug, fill it up with candle wax and a wick. I will personally try this one this year.
