Tea is the second most popular drink in the world, only coming in second to water. It is rich in antioxidants which help to boost our immune systems, making hot tea the perfect winter drink to starve off a common cold. Tea is consumed in almost all cultures and is available in countless varieties. A tea-themed gift can be personalized to your recipients' tastes, making it a suitable gift option no matter which blend of tea they prefer.
Tea Gift Basket
Create a gift basket filled with tea-related tokens. Buy a basket from a dollar store, or find one at home to use as your container. Include different blends of tea such as Earl Grey or fruit-infused varieties. Put the teas into a set of tin canisters or glass jars that compliment the recipient's kitchen color scheme. Your gift basket could include a tea pot, a mesh tea ball, a fun poem about tea or tea-themed fridge magnets. The beauty of a tea gift basket is that it can be as expensive or inexpensive as you choose.
Fine China
Lots of tea drinkers agree that tea tastes better from a china cup. Purchase the tea-lover a single vintage china cup and saucer or tea set. Fine china can be used for a special occasion or for an afternoon tea treat with friends. Bake a batch of cookies or cupcakes that she can enjoy with her tea to give your gift a personal touch.
Tessomancy Book
A book about Tessomancy, the art of reading tea leaves is an interesting gift for those who enjoy drinking tea. Include a tea strainer and bag of tea leaves so that she can try the art for herself. Tessomancy is a form of fortune-telling that will give the recipient a whole new reason to enjoy her favorite drink.
Christmas Tea Blend
Create a homemade Christmas blend of tea. There are lots of recipes you can try that are inexpensive to make at home. Combine orange drink mix, cloves, cinnamon, ginger and instant iced tea mix together to make one version of spiced tea. Add sugar, if desired, and put the mixture into a jar. Decorate your jar with festive colored ribbons, and attach a cinnamon stick. Spiced tea is a warming drink on cold winter nights, making it an ideal Christmas gift. Include the name of your homemade tea blend and instructions for brewing on the gift tag.
