Since the goat herder Kaldi discovered the potential of our beloved coffee beans centuries ago, it has become the staple for many individuals worldwide. Nothing beats the aroma of good quality coffee brewing somewhere in the distance and finding its way to you when you’re still in slumber mode and attempting to push yourself out of bed to start the day.

Legend goes that Kaldi realised the potential of coffee once he noticed that his goats became so energetic after eating the berries from a certain tree that they wouldn’t go to sleep at night. As word moved east and coffee found their way across the Arabian Peninsula, the journey of these precious beans started and spread across the globe and I for one, am extremely grateful.

It can be quite the arduous task to find the perfect gift for someone special in your life to show them how much you appreciate and adore them. There is a range of quirky and functional gifts available online that will tick all the boxes when it comes to the perfect gift for that special coffee-loving person in your life.
