Coffee And Tea Make The Season Bright
There's a crisp feel to the air and a crunch underfoot, which can only mean one thing: it's basically Christmas time. (It's possible that where you live, there is neither crisp nor crunch anywhere in the environment, but you know what I mean.) And THAT means that it's time to start thinking about gifts.
It can be daunting to come up with original gifts for family and friends. Fortunately, there's (at least) one constant in life: people love their coffee and tea. And there's nothing better than receiving a gift that you know you'll use and enjoy, that's a little different from what you might get and that brings some seasonal cheer to your day.
So from seasonal treats to all-around great blends, here are 12 great gifts for the coffee and tea lovers in your life.
