Gifts for Coffee Lovers
By Kim Tilley
Do you have a friend or relative who is hard to shop for but loves coffee? Give them a gift basket full of goodies that will keep them happy for months. If they don't like coffee, substitute tea or hot chocolate. Here are some inexpensive ideas and recipes for a Coffee Lover's Gift Basket.

You can now get mugs that are designed so you can insert cross stitched or printed decorations underneath the outside plastic covering. The result is a customized mug that looks laminated.
