Gifts for coffee and tea people: mugs, prints and a little boba
Some people do not have a morning routine so much as a ritual. For them, the best gift is something that becomes part of it: a mug they reach for first, or a print that makes the kitchen feel like their favourite café.
The mug is the obvious gift, so make it a good one
A mug is used every day, which makes it one of the few gifts people really notice. Ours are 11 oz glossy ceramic with the artwork printed around the wrap, at $18.99. The question is which artwork.
Rainy Window Coffee shows steam rising from a warm cup on a rainy windowsill. It is the natural pick for anyone who romanticises a slow cup on a grey day. Boba Buddy, a smiling bubble tea in warm peach tones, suits tea drinkers and anyone who would rather order boba than drip coffee. Koi Pond Glow, Coral Reef Bloom and Glowing Mushroom Grove are on mugs too, for people whose taste runs more to nature than to caffeine imagery.
For the kitchen or café corner
If they have a coffee station at home, a Rainy Window Coffee art poster (12×18 inches, matte) above it ties the whole corner together. It is our most literal coffee piece and works well in a kitchen with warm wood or open shelving.
For a bubble tea fan, Boba Buddy is available as a framed print in a black or white frame, ready to hang. It is bright and cheerful, a good fit for a first apartment or a dorm.
Small add-ons
A 3×3 inch kiss-cut Boba Buddy sticker costs $5.99 and fits on a reusable cup, a laptop or a notebook. It is a nice way to round out a gift card or a bag of good beans you picked up locally.
For a heavier hitter, the Boba Buddy hoodie (heavy-blend pullover in navy, sport grey or black) is the one for long café afternoons.
