The flowers provide fragrance and beauty, and once they die, the coffee provides fragrant morning beverages for several weeks. Coffee-and-flower gifts may seem unusual, but they are great choices for a hard-to-shop-for person. These gifts have sophistication and elegance, while providing popular items among adults.

Go gourmet to create a coffee-and-flower gift basket with elegance. Use a large wicker basket without a handle and braided with colorful ribbons.

Add an assortment of espresso, gourmet coffee and flavored coffee packets. Be careful not to crush the flowers. Add individually wrapped biscotti and chocolate-dipped spoons. Fill the remaining basket space with small packets of chocolate-covered espresso beans.

Use a simple combination if you need to stick to a budget for the coffee and flower gifts. Tie a bow around a small package of gourmet coffee beans and slip a daisy into the bow. Attach a pressed flower card to the bow for a sweet gift. If you're giving away several gifts, use a mini bag of coffee decorated with a flower and card for each person.
Buy or make a large coffee mug as the container for your coffee-and-flower gift. Fill the mug with a few mini-bags of coffee. Add a small and short bouquet of sunflowers to the mug. Tie a sunflower-shaped card to the mug handle. If you're not sure what kind of coffee to purchase, use a gift card to a coffee shop instead. That way the recipient can pick out the coffee flavor she prefers.
