A Simple Valentine’s Gift Guide ☕️

Whether Valentine’s Day is your thing or very much not your thing, we’ve put together a small list of thoughtful gifts we genuinely love.They’re simple, meaningful, and designed to be enjoyed slowly - with someone else, or just for yourself (which always counts). 1. Valentina Bright, fresh, and beautifully balanced, Valentina feels like the right fit as a Valentine’s coffee. From its vibrant flavour profile to the story behind the name, everything about this coffee leans into generosity and care. With notes of kiwi, tonic, and green apple, it’s the kind of coffee that works best as part of a shared ritual — brewed slowly, poured into two cups, and enjoyed without rushing. Whether it’s a quiet morning together or a moment carved out of a busy day, Valentina really shines when shared. 2. Ceramic Cup There’s something special about gifting a hand-thrown ceramic cup. It’s personal without being flashy, thoughtful without trying too hard. A good cup has a way of becoming someone’s cup — the one they reach for every morning. It elevates that everyday coffee moment and quietly says, I was thinking of you, long after Valentine’s Day has passed. 3. Coffee Subscription A coffee subscription is one of those gifts that keeps showing up, month after month.Instead of a single moment, it becomes a small, recurring reminder — a fresh bag of coffee arriving through the door, ready to be brewed and enjoyed. It’s perfect for anyone who loves their routine, appreciates good coffee, or simply enjoys having one less thing to think about. Easy, comforting, and always welcome. 4. Kinto Travel Mug For the person who’s always on the move, this one’s a favourite. The Kinto travel mug keeps coffee warm for up to 24 hours — or refreshingly cool for up to 48 hours in the summer. It’s practical, well-designed, and feels great to use. Ideal for early starts, long commutes, or anyone who likes to bring their coffee with them wherever the day goes. 5. Barista Training If the person you’re buying for loves coffee (or wants to make better coffee at home), barista training makes a brilliant, slightly unexpected gift. Whether it’s building confidence behind the machine, learning proper brewing techniques, or just spending a few hours doing something different together, it’s a fun and rewarding experience. A great option for couples, friends, or anyone looking to level up their coffee skills beyond the basics.At the end of the day, Valentine’s doesn’t have to be loud or overdone. Sometimes it’s just about taking a moment — making a good cup of coffee, sharing it with someone you care about, or enjoying it quietly on your own. However you choose to mark it, we hope it brings a little warmth to your day.
