7 gifts + 6 coffees · 7 min read

No one wants to be that guest who arrives at a party or an overnight visit, empty-handed. If you’ve RSVP’d but come up short on ideas for what to bring, look no further than these hot tips from our team of hosts and party-goers! Your host deserves to feel appreciated, and with any of the gifts below, they’re sure to appreciate you, too.

01

FELLOW Pirch Cappuccino Glass

Dial up the flair… and the flavour!

Every coffee ritual builds to one intimate moment: the first sip… and the perfect cup takes it from tasty to transcendent.

That’s why FELLOW designed their Pirch Cappuccino glasses with curved interiors that bring latte art to life, flavour-enhancing geometry that brings out the best in espresso, and a balanced weight that gently warms the hand.

Elevate every sip for a host that’s just as special with a 2-pack or 12-pack in Amber, Garnet, Smoke, or Woodland.

02

KINTO FUTO Waffle Cloth

Proof that sturdy and soft truly can coexist.

This might be our new favourite gift for the foodies, homesteaders, and bakers who host!

Not just because the lightweight, ultra-soft fabric is handwoven in Shiga, Japan — it’s also miraculously quick-drying and sturdy, ideal for the daily demands of kitchens and bathrooms.

With its structured waffle knit and wide tri-fold finish, the FUTO Waffle Cloth makes a long-lasting accent piece sure to be cherished for years to come.

03

Proper Syrups

Never judge a bottle by its screw cap.

Bottles are ubiquitous at a party, but this one offers something different. Made from natural ingredients like cane sugar and organic agave, Proper syrups add a splash of excitement to lattes, matcha, tea, or even cocktails. They naturally deliver on taste, texture, and integrity without a hint of artificial flavour.

Whether it’s buttery hazelnut, luxurious caramel, or silky lavender, this is a bottle your host will enjoy long after the party’s over.

04

ACME Tajimi Tall Tumbler (330ml/11.16oz)

Luminous Japanese porcelain with stellar temp-control.

Bringing a tasty tipple to the party? Pair it with this dreamy, handmade porcelain tumbler for the ultimate sipping combo!

Crafted in collaboration with Japan’s legendary Maruasa Porcelain Factory, ACME Tajimi tumblers keep your drink at the perfect temperature, whether it’s coffee, tea, wine, beer, or soda.

What your host will notice most is the soft, tactile finish of the matte exterior, in delicious contrast to the polished, glazed interior. A truly functional piece of art!

05

KINTO TRE Vase (4.5x7.9in)

Flower-power is too often underestimated.

Elegant, minimal, ideal for bouquets of all varieties — the TRE Vase is as versatile as it is classy (Just how classy? Tres.).

The frosted finish, which glows warmly in the sunlight, looks like glass, but in fact it’s made from sturdy unsaturated polyester resin. With graceful triangular shape and rounded edges that protect flower stems from damage, the TRE vase makes a stunning centrepiece that actually prolongs the life of floral displays.

Looking for an even more dramatic shape? Spring for the gorgeous U-shaped version!

06

HARIO Barista Server

Let the wine, spirits, and sauces shine.

You don’t have to like coffee to appreciate the (ahem) perks of a stylish, ergonomic, spouted vessel. While HARIO designed their V60 Barista Server with pour overs in mind, we use ours for every pourable concoction you can imagine: sangria, cocktails, raspberry coulis, salad dressing… even gravy.

Our favourite, though, is brewing a pot of flowering tea buds and watching them bloom through the heat-proof glass of the HARIO server.

Choose from 600ml and 360ml sizes, or spring for both and call it a set.

07

KINTO Plant Pot 201

Take indoor greenery to a higher level.

If your host is a budding botanist, this subtle, sophisticated hanging plant pot might be the perfect expression of gratitude. It looks like ceramic, but in fact, it’s a durable, lightweight polypropylene plastic that can withstand a tumble and takes it easy on the ceiling. Even more practical is its dual-layer design: the inner container has a drainage hole so water can drain and collect in the outer hull without making a mess.

Go the extra mile and fill it with a pretty pothos or philodendron, or leave it as a blank canvas if your plant-lover is particular.

Not sure if there’s a spot to hang from? Check out the 191 iteration.

Outstanding Coffee

Delicious beans in brilliant bags that shout thanks! with feeling.

Whether it’s brewed right away or the next morning, your host is sure to appreciate a thoughtful pick-me-up. These are our go-tos when we want to suit up and stand out:

Birdy Coffee Co

Wild Goose Chase

Hopefully your host’s party won’t be remembered by the same name… but if it is, this soothing, caramel-forward blend will offset the chaos with a sweet hit of comfort. Toasty notes of almond, milk chocolate character — honk if you’d like a cup.

Friedhats

Buku Sayisa

The talking points start with the bottle, followed swiftly by the brightly-coloured (comic book-like) label, landing squarely at the coffee itself: an anaerobic natural from Ethiopia with a sweet-tart melange of blackberry, pineapple, and guava notes. What can we say, except this Amsterdam-based roaster knows how to make an impression.

Cafēn

Café Ceres

From the very first glance, this coffee shouts gift. Inside its watercolour-esque box — beautifully inscribed with sourcing specs and a message from the roaster — are beans with an even more expressive profile, featuring notes of blackberry, mandarin orange, cashew, and cherry liqueur. Wrapped and sent with love from Edinburgh!

FUNK

Mellow Caramelo

Another eye-catching source of intrigue, FUNK’s psychedelic crowler cans beg to be repurposed, long after the beans are gone. As for the coffee inside? If you’d think it was all groovy honeyed overtones and milk chocolate riffs… you’d be right.

TANAT

Monteblanco Strawberry

Heading for the home of an art collector? Roasted in Paris and adorned with a landscape reminiscent of Matisse, this coffee will fit right in. An innovative co-fermentation process using red fruit nectar and selected yeasts yields a distinctively creamy, intensely fruity character in the cup that might just inspire the drinker to paint something of their own.

Shop Monteblanco
Sorellina

Ndiani Nyeri

Making a strong case for “all that glitters is gold”, Sorellina’s remarkably delicious washed Kenyan coffee comes in a shiny outfit that you just can’t miss. Prepare your host to be dazzled by pops of dried strawberry and juicy apricot, flashing brightly above chocolate-is-the-new-black undertones.
