THOUGHTFUL COFFEE HOSTESS GIFT

November 22, 2015 by madincrafts Leave a Comment

Simple Coffee Hostess Gift

Do you serve coffee with dessert?  My family has always done this, but I have gotten weird looks from guests when I ask if they would like a cup with their cake.  Maybe it’s a German thing, but I love a hot mug of coffee to cut through the sweetness of an after-dinner treat.  Since the holidays are a dessert-heavy season, we go through quite a bit of coffee.

That’s when it hit me.  Maybe instead of bringing a glass of wine to a holiday dinner party, it would be nice to bring a bag of delicious coffee!  Even if they don’t serve it with dessert, you can never have enough coffee, right?  Duncan Donuts is known for their great coffee, and you can buy bags to make at home yourself.  When I was choosing a variety to use as a hostess gift, I ended up choosing Columbian.  They offer a selection of scrumptious sounding flavored coffees, but I didn’t want to risk choosing a flavor that the hostess might not like.

Instead of just slapping on a bow and calling it a day, I wrapped the bag in a flour sack towel which I tied off with a bit of baker’s twine.  Then I added an inexpensive wood ornament to create a pretty package made entirely of reusable materials!  If you want to pretty up the towel a bit more, you can add a favorite handwritten recipe to the towel.

Wrapping a Bag of Coffee for Christmas

To wrap the coffee in the towel:

1.  Gather a 28×29 flour sack towel, a bag of Dunkin Donuts coffee and some baker’s twine or ribbon.
2.  Fold the towel in half once, and place the bag of coffee centered along the top of the towel.
3.  Fold the bottom of the towel up to meet the top of the towel.
4. Grab the bottom right corner of the towel and fold it up along the side of the coffee bag.  The towel should fold like is shown in image 4.
5.  Repeat step 4 with the left side of the towel.
6.  Fold the topmost sides of the towel over the front of the coffee bag.  Refer to image 6.
7.  Flip the whole package over and repeat step 6 with that side of the towel.
8.  Tie off the top of the towel with twine or ribbon.  Add a small ornament to the bow.

I know it seems like that is a tricky technique, but it really isn’t.  Once you have done it once, you will understand it and will be able to make several of these handy hostess gifts to keep on hand.

Easy Holiday Hostess Gift

You can pair the gift with a nice coffee mug or some baked goods, but it is great as a standalone gift too!.  Save some money on Dunkin Donuts coffee, whether it’s for yourself or for a gift.  Check out this coupon for more information.
