    I am doing a coffee hamper for xmas. I got a "grow your own coffee plant" in Aldi for 99p a few weeks ago. It is nicely boxed. They have them on ebay just now but at silly prices.
    I also saw nice little Biscotto style Sticks in Farmfood in a round blue tin for 99p. Sell by date was not till July 2011. I plan to get them too for hamper.

    Hope this helps xx

    ah no way!!! I don't think I have an ALDI that near to me - will have to investigate!!! The only ones I have seen have been £5+ Thanks for that!!
    Keep on comping!

    2018 wins: £600

    How about cross stitching a coaster with something coffee-related on it? (Hi from the cross stitch cafe, btw! :wave:)
    Does he use a filter machine or cafeitiere? Maybe extra filter papers for a machine, or a new cafetitiere in another size?
    I once bought this great hand made sign from ebay that read 'Don't talk to me...I haven't had my second cup of coffee yet!' Maybe something along those lines? Or a fridge magnet?

    I love the handmade sign idea, my hubby is always saying no point talking to him before his second cup :rotfl:Would look great in our new kitchen as it is looking a little bare.

    Will have to start searching ebay or etsy!
