There is just nothing like it. One whiff of good coffee and
even people who don't normally indulge will salivate for a
cup. Some people aren't human until they've had their first
cup of joe in the morning. For most of us, it's a homey
smell that we've enjoyed since we were children.
High in caffeine, with 175 milligrams per cup, coffee has 3
times the caffeine of tea. Did you know that taking a pill
with coffee could rush it into your system faster? That's
great news. So wash your pills down with a swig of coffee
and see what happens.
That "rush" that coffee brings is famous worldwide. Even
goats get a rush from it. In the year 1400 coffee was just
an herbal remedy. However, people noticed goats chewing on
the berries hanging from the bushes in Yemeni. The goats
got a big dose of caffeine producing "galloping goat-it-
is." Shepherds gave some of the berries to monks. The monks
tested them in boiling water. And voila! Coffee was born
as one of the most popular drinks in the world.
Coffee is more than a morning ritual. The recent craze for
lattes and specialty espresso drinks has increased our
coffee choices for afternoon pick-me-ups and evening
socializing. Friends have always met over a nice cup of
coffee. From coffee houses of the 19th century to the
coffee shops of today, it's a pleasant way to spend our time.
This resurgence in coffee's popularity makes it a perfect
gift for anyone who partakes of the dark rich beverage.
Specialty shops have many pre-made baskets of goodies with
mugs, gourmet coffee, biscuits, coffee scoops and more.
Choose one with a nice variety to suit your coffee-lover's
tastes.
What about a small gift for the office? Maybe a mug for the
desk with many flavored coffees, candies and some cocoa
would be nice.
There are specialty baskets even for those watching their
health, including diabetics and someone who is careful of
cholesterol. Ask and see. You can find many things to suit
special needs.
Not finding the right combination? Find a nice basket that
can be used later and pack one yourself! A mug, one good
coffee and cookies is enough for a simple gift or you can
really pack it with varieties of coffee, several kinds of
chocolate, biscuits and candy.
Another real treat is a subscription to a coffee of the
month club offered by many coffee companies. This gives
your friend or family member a new gift every month. No
wrapping to do, either! Give them the subscription
announcement with a nice new personalized mug or one with
an inspirational quote or picture.
Your gift is bound to please. The coffee lover will perk up
at the scent of the package. They will be sniffing like a
hound on the trail of a very special taste.
