    If you’re looking to buy a gift for a coffee lover, you could RISE to give them a coffee subscription from RISE!  And if you’re looking for a gift of coffee and something else, they can help you there, too!

    A RISE Coffee subscription box gives them the chance to try different coffees, and you can choose the type of coffee they receive and how many months you give for – and you can just do a one-off purchase too on the RISE Coffee Box Subsription.

    How about a Rise Coffee Gift Box subscription? 
    How about a Rise Coffee Gift Box subscription?

    The recipient recives your chosen quantity of coffee, key facts on the roasters, beans and farmers – and tasting notes and brew tips, so this is a lovely way to find out more about coffee.  And there’s a free treat from one of RISE’s food and drink partners, too.

    There's a Coffee and Chocolate Lover Gift

    You could also give them a RISE gift – a Coffee and Chocolate Lover Gift which has freshly roasted, premium speciality coffee, and Montezuma’s chocolate treats.  It includes brew guides and tasting notes, as well.


    The Coffee Starter Kit Gift Box gives you everything you need to start enjoying coffee!

    There’s also a Coffee Starter Kit Gift Box, which includes one 250g bag of freshly roasted speciality coffee, a 350ml (3 cup) black cafetiere, a ‘how to make the perfect cafetiere’ brew guide, and tasting notes so that you can learn more about the coffee.  This is a very good idea – one of the problems when you want to start enjoying coffee is how to make it in a cafetiere, so it’s good to see that RISE have created a box with everything you need to get you going!

     There's also a Coffee and Beauty Gift Box

    The Coffee and Beauty Gift Box includes freshly roasted coffee, a citrus blend face scrub, a wax candle from Upcircle, tasting notes and stories behind the coffee and roaster, and a beauty wellness recipe. 

    Not only that but RISE coffee is friendy too – 1% of all sales goes to its Friendly Coffee Fund.  This supports the coffee farming community in Uganda and it helps pay for children to go to school.   So far, this has funded 2,850 days in school so far!

    Visit RISE to find out more here!

    Green People produce organic beauty products for all the family, from babies and teenagers to men and women.

    They are based in Sussex, and one of the things I love about them (apart from their products, which I've used for years), is their involvement in charities, especially for the environment.  These include the Knepp Wildland Foundation, the World Land Trust, and the Marine Conservation Society.  They also include Ehlers-Danlos Support UK.  Find out more about them here.

    Photos are a great way to bring people together, even if you just look at someone's picture on a mug or a slate or blanket.  

    It has been said that a picture paints a thousand words and Printerpix has photo gifts to remind you all of those special moments.  They have collage canvas, photobooks, custom blankets, photo prints, photo mugs, jigsaws puzzles and much more!

    How about a blanket?  You can put your photos of your personal memories on it!

    How about a blanket?  You can put your photos of your personal memories on it, 
    and they can snuggle up under it!

    They've got cat blankets as well, and gifts for pet lovers.

    And you don't have to have the picture of one person - you could have a photo of a much cherished pet, or a picture of the two of you enjoying a moment, or a place that means a lot to them.   


    How about canvas prints to decorate a wall with and to bring memoires alive?
    There are different sizes and edge designs, and wood frames. 

    For pet lovers, how about a Pet Photo Book?
