Top 5 Coffee Gifts
1) Silicone Pocket Bags - 2 Pack

With palm-sized convenience and lightly frosted sides for added discretion, this little pocket is the perfect air-tight transport for your tiny valuables (or just a tiny snack). Each is plastic-free and seals up to keep food fresh and trinkets in. The bag can even go in the microwave or dishwasher for easy clean up.
2) Blooming Tea Flowers - Set of Two

Tea time can be a mesmerizing ritual with these blooming tea flowers. Each flower opens and grows as it steeps, releasing fragrance and flavor into your brew. These two sets of four beautifully-wrapped blooming teas come in a collectible glass tube with a wooden cork. Each flower is good for about three infusions. Serve in a glass tea pot to really enjoy the aesthetics.
3) Temperature-Controlled Travel Mug

Thero: Temperature-Controlled Travel Mug - Silver
4) Glass Fridge Beverage Dispenser

The unique design of the Kilner® Fridge Drinks Dispenser makes it perfect for keeping drinks cold and fresh for longer, without taking up too much room in your fridge. With a capacity of 102 fluid ounces and a helpful measuring scale on the side, this dispenser also helps to monitor daily water intake. Featuring an easy pour tap that will keep drinks flowing, a silicone valve that regulates air pressure inside the container, and an elegant rectangular shape, this dispenser is designed specifically to maximize space on your refrigerator shelves.
5) Reusable Hot Coffee/Tea Filters

These reusable filters are the perfect alternative to disposable filters and nylon sacks. Crafted with 100% GOTS certified organic cotton to create a tasty brew without impacting its flavor. After each use, simply empty the grounds, rinse the filter, and hang to dry. Each filter's durable fabric will last over a year with continuous use. Made in the USA.
