Place coffee mix in a filter. Place filter on a square or plastic wrap. Draw together with a ribbon. Make this gift extra special by placing the wrapped filter in a coffee cup. Bonus points for a personalized one. (Remember that's why people pay $4 for coffee at Starbucks because they write your name on the paper cup)
Makes an 8 cup pot of coffee.
Make your gift special by branding it. Starbucks does with their little mermaid. Use your computer to create a logo and attach it to the gift. We call mine Less Bucks but I'm certain you can come up with just as good a name for yours. Perhaps your logo can include a picture of your family and something like: Copeland's Coffees a pleasant morning jolt of inspiration. It's all about presentation.
Now go get busy because Christmas is just a few days away.
