I am making people gift baskets for Christmas this year. My sister chose the coffee theme. I will put different flavors of coffee and some creamers in it but i dont know what else to add. Any sugestions from you all?

Do you bake or can you make candy? If you don't bake, try some gifts in a jar. I have several recipes that I could share with you. I am going to give calendars that have all the family birthdays and anniversaries listed on it. Candy making has been a passion for me. This year I am making several candies for each member of the family. I also love to bake so I am going to make some cinnamon rolls and cookies to include in the package. Let me know if I can be of help.

thx for the idea! I just thought about doing chocolate covered spoons for it. So she can stir the coffee with some chocolate yumm then lick the spooon when shes done. do you have any suggestions bout that one?

Ooh nice idea! For a coffee basket? Hmm that's quite hard. Maybe some after eight mints? They normally do them with tea and coffee in fancy places don't they:) or some digestive biscuits as everyone likes them with their tea and coffe:) Have you tried googling christmas basket lists?


Coffee Basket

myLot reputation of 84/100. dragonflyfli (1285)  6 years ago

mm that sounds like a wonderful idea. thanks. i will aadd some mints to the basket for sure.


myLot reputation of 94/100. Beautiful_Nightmare (1092)  6 years ago

Glad you like my idea :) Maybe you could Matchmakers instead or both & perhaps instead of digestives you add 'nice' biscuits or shortbread :)

like a few others have mentioned ...some nice coffee cups, what about some sugar in a nice container, a coffee plunger, if you live close to your sister how about a little certificate saying you will shout her a coffee when you go out. Some nice biscuits to enjoy with the coffee.
Thats about all the ideas i have this early in the morning....need a coffee now after talking about it lol


coffee plunger

How about if you take some spoons and dip them in melted chocolate and caramel, let them dry and put them inside of plastic wrap. Makes for great stirring:) and add some cinnamon sticks as well.


Coffee spoon

myLot reputation of 84/100. dragonflyfli (1285)  6 years ago

thats a wonderful idea. will the caramel harden? do i put it inbetween two layers of chocolate??


myLot reputation of 94/100. dalilac1 (474)  6 years ago

Yes the caramel will harden up, you dip it in there, let it set before you dip it in the chocolate.

Also you can add,pumpkin pie spice to melted white chocolate for another littled kick of flavor.
Crushed peppermint to the chocolate for a wintery taste.

See living in New York on a farm has its advantages ;)



myLot reputation of 84/100. dragonflyfli (1285)  6 years ago

mmm that coffee looks really good. Thank you so much for the tips . im gonna have so much fun making this. I'll try all of tat.
