Saving Money on Coffee & Tea Gift Baskets

How to give tea and coffee gifts within your business's budget

While coffee and tea gift baskets are a great choice for corporate gifts that can be enjoyed by a wide range of people, gourmet gifts can be pricey. Saving money on coffee & tea gift baskets is simple, however, with some planning and flexibility built into your gift giving. One easy place to start is to look for discount retailers and wholesalers who sell pre-made gourmet coffee gifts.

Another way to spend less on your tea and coffee baskets is to buy smaller gift baskets, whether by choosing the smallest size option or using a basket customizing service that allows you to choose only the contents you want to pay for. Of course, a more creative alternative is to craft your own coffee and tea gift sets if time allows.

Use the following resources for saving money on coffee & tea gift baskets during your next occasion for company gift-giving:

1. Shop with discounters that sell coffee gifts for less.
2. Scale down your spending by customizing coffee and tea gift baskets.
3. Spend more time and less money making your own tea gifts.
   

 

Buy coffee and tea gift baskets from discount retailers

You don't have to shop from a gourmet specialty store to find coffee and tea gifts for your clients. Many larger retailers and even discounters regularly sell a wide variety of generic and name brand coffee and tea products in gift baskets for giving occasions. Many retailers also offer free shipping on orders of a certain size when you buy online.
Try: Browse the selection of coffee and tea gift baskets offered online by discount retailers like Target. Costco, a wholesaler for consumer products, also offers a range of gift baskets at value rates.

Customize your tea and coffee baskets to cut extra costs

Another easy way to save money on tea and coffee baskets is to cut the extra costs for volume and contents that you don't necessarily need. Many gift basket sellers offer a range of basket sizes, so you can choose the smallest size available, and customizable options allow you to only pay for those items you want in the basket.
Try: Gourmet Gifts sells many of their basket styles in different sizes and with customizable options for what items are included. The Gift Angel allows you to build your own tea and coffee baskets, customizing every detail and including as much or as little as your budget will accommodate.

Make you own tea and coffee gifts with a little work behind the scenes

Tea and coffee gifts are easy to make yourself if you have the time and the skills to invest. A range of tips and video tutorials are available online to help guide your creative efforts, and you can either make your own gift-sized portions of coffee and tea or buy gift basket supplies online.
