A coffee stocking

cte1111

I've been reading ideas on here and other sites for ideas for my OH's stocking and have been struck by inspiration - coffee!

Here are a few little items that may find their way into my husband's stocking:

• Stencils (for making cocoa patterns on top) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kitchen-Craft-LeXpress-Drinks-Stencils/dp/B000YJB7RC/ref=pd_sim_kh_1
• Cocoa shaker
• Flavoured instant coffee http://www.whittard.co.uk/coffee/flavoured_coffee/smooth_vanilla_flavoured_coffee.htm
• Pack of ground coffee http://www.whittard.co.uk/coffee/pre_packed_coffee
• Little cups of UHT milk (for when we run out of milk and no coffee disaster occurs)
• Mug
• Thermal mug for taking in car
• Possibly a coffee themed tea towel (we need more tea towels)

Keep adding ideas please people.

Chocolate coated coffee beans?

Knitted/sewn mug cosy?

Wilkinsons have a self stirring mug - I think it is £6. I think it is Wilkos that also has a heated coaster to keep your mug warm.

Coffee flavoured chocolates (you don't see them often, but some shops have them in around Christmas time)

Cafetiere

Neoprene cafetiere cosy - mine was about £6 from Amazon

After dinner mints - popular with a cup of coffee

Or some items from here:

Syrup!! Gingerbread syrup from whittard and chelsea is delicious! I've also got white choc, irish cream and cinnimon.

Have to agree with the flavoured syrups - cinnamon is a favourite here. I'm doing something similar for my Mum this year, and will be including a pot of special jam and some tea-cakes to complete the experience.

im doing this too got the syrup from starbucks, didn't know you could get flavoured instant coffee though! shame its out of stock. Going on a hunt see if i can find it elsewhere. ty

you can make flavoured syrups yourself
i made some a couple of years ago, from a recipe on here, i cant remember the original poster, sorry,
but i have the recipe downstairs (still having my coffee in bed )

soon as i have had my shower, i shall post the recipe
much cheaper than buying and much nicer

If you wanted to push the boat out (and i mean by a lot!!!) then you need to put in one of the artisan candles from Jonathan Ward

OMG - a friend gave me one as a present and WOW - I'm not a coffee drinker but I love the smell of coffee! And gosh! I'm going to have to save up and try all this candles now - but they're not cheap

I know the OP already listed a mug... but how about personalising it with ceramic/porcelain craft pens? Doodle your own coffee message or get the kids to draw on it?

A handful of coffee cream chocolates. You can probably get them where there's a Pick N Mix.
