Tips for tea gifts-any size or any budget 

I’ve tried to deny it but a trip to Target shook me to my core. There is no way around it-the shops are ready-it’s true….the holidays are coming!! This year it feels as if the holiday season is sneaking up fast. With that in mind I have been approached for gift ideas for tea lovers.

What on earth do you get a tea lover for the holidays? Here are some thoughts and suggestions I have given to close friends that I decided to blog about before the holiday season panic ensues. 

The who

So who is on your list? An acquaintance, your Grandmother, a teen, your boss? Are you invited to a party and need a hostess gift?  Well let’s begin:

Tea

You can buy a brand of tea for them-but what? Do you get bagged or loose leaf? Do they have a kind they prefer? Yes-it’s easy to be stumped. If you know their preference on types of tea they like then go with that but if not one choice I highly recommend is a sampler set.

Sampler sets

Sampler sets all vary in size and price. With a sampler set there is such a variety of tea that it keeps you out of the guessing game and they are sure to find a new tea to love.

Small quantities

Another alternative is buying a few smaller sized bags of tea verses 1 big one.  That way if they do not like the tea you have not shelled out $$$$$$.

Teens love and others adore

My teen and her friends loved Tea Drops Tea Sampler Set-It contains instant teas that have a variety of shapes like hearts, flowers etc that effervesce when they are put in hot water and the sweetened taste with a variety of flavors. The box is a huge hit just to store things.

A few samplers I have tried and loved are 

David’s tea. Harney Tea has a nice selection. There are many more sampler sets out there

Tea Knick Knacks

Tea infusers are an easy gift idea. These can be given alone, with a tin of loose leaf tea or sampler set. There are so many infusers to choose from. They range from the classical tea infuser to the fun and comical kind. They can appeal to all ages, personalities and budget.

Want to add something else?

If you want to pad your gift and make it slightly larger don’t forget a tea  measuring spoon or spoon rest. There is something for everyone as there are a large variety. 

Tea cosy. 

Do they own a teapot? Maybe a new tea cosy could be on the list.

They range so much in style and are a perfect way to keep a pot warm for yummy cups of tea

Cup and saucer or Mugs

Now we are getting to tea hardware. There are so many beautiful cup and saucer sets that could be a special gift combined with some individual bags of tea or any of the other items listed or alone. Maybe they’d prefer an oversized mug. 

Tea pots

There is a teapot for everyone. The teapot for 1 tea set with the teapot and cup combined. An individual pot to family sized. Standard white teapots, splash of color, porcelain, clay , cast iron, glass. A teapot with cups included. Teapots with or without infusers, the list keeps going. 

Combine the teapot and cups and saucers together or get a set prepackaged. Add tea etc as above.

Things I have tried

Here are some other items that I picked up for myself this year that I love that may be something to think about for a tea lover 

• A vacuum flask to keep tea warm: I recently purchased a glass flask and infuser by Flowtea but also purchased one by David’s tea as a gift

• The steeper by David’s tea there are also similar ones

• Kettle, mine is Miroco EK001

Tea gifts truly warm any tea lovers heart no matter what you choose to give. 

I hope some of these ideas are helpful.  Let me know if you decided to try any. Have a tea-riffic time shopping.
