I always say, tea is like a hug in a cup! There’s nothing like a hot cuppa to keep you warm in the winter, cool in the summer, cheer you up when you’re depressed or calm you when you’re excited. It’s one of those things that are instantly therapeutic.
We all have at least one… or two… or twenty “tea people” in our lives. Whether it’s your Mother, Grandma, or the Men in your life (we won’t embarrass them) “leaf it to me” to come up with a list of thoughtful yet quirky gifts for those who are hopelessly addicted:
CUSTOMIZED TEA BAG TAGS –The way to a tea lover’s heart could be through the tags. Customize the tag at the end of your tea bag – with a message for Mom on mother’s day, a heart for your beloved or a welcome/thank you note for your guest! They are sure to appreciate the extra step you took to make them feel special.
CHAI KIT – A pretty little box with a dozen compartments labelled with different kinds of teas. This gift has a bit of magical charm to it – the theatre of picking out which tea to brew, grabbing a handful and tossing it into a pot of boiling water. Something out of a fairy tale, don’t you think?
FUNKY CHAI GLASSES –A set of chai glasses with a local twist,” these come with bright colours and city-specific puns are sure to be a hit. This gift is ideal for those who used to live in an Indian metro but have moved abroad or to their home town. They will relive their days of savouring road side “cutting” chai
TEA –INSPIRED JEWELLERY –Gift your tea-loving sister or BFF a ring with a tea cup on the top and a matching necklace featuring a tea pot! You can choose from – vintage, porcelain and even hipster! Personally, I love the charm bracelet with tea themed charms on it!
ELECTRIC TEA KETTLE – Although not as theatrical and romantic as the tea pot – this one makes up in convenience. Great for those who don’t need a special occasion to go tea drinking, but needs a sip every chance they get.
SUGAR LACE DOILIES –Patterns of sugar that you can drop in your tea and watch it dissolve in minutes. They look so pretty, you’d wish they never melted away.
