These are the holiday tea gifts I pack in Cibolo, Texas: loose leaf sachets in seasonal flavors like Christmas Cranberry and Fireball, keepsake boxes with a real teacup and saucer inside, and a kit that sets a full holiday table for eight. It is the shelf for the tea lover on your list, the teacher, the coworker, and the gathering you are hosting in December.
Most holiday tea gifts are a box of tea bags. Mine come with the cup, the cookie, the sugar cubes and the games I play at my own parties, so the person opening it can sit down for an hour instead of restocking a pantry shelf.
Pick by the person, not the price. The list below tells you which one goes to which name on your list.
How to choose
- ✓ For the tea lover on your list: Simple Pleasures, three blends and twelve sachets for one to four people, with a teacup and saucer or a tea time journal.
- ✓ For a teacher, a coworker, a neighbor, or a stocking: the Mini box, one variety of tea, four sachets, a mini teacup and saucer, a bookmark and an activity.
- ✓ For a gift exchange or a party favor: the Mini Teapot Sampler, a miniature teapot with four flavors and a chocolate treat.
- ✓ For the gathering you are hosting: the Party Kit for 8 Guests, place settings for eight, two three tier dessert stands, five teas, favors and setup instructions.
- ✓ For the person who already owns every mug: the Tea Cup and Saucer Gift Set, or a single seasonal blend like Christmas Cranberry, which is caffeine free, or Fireball, spiced with orange, clove and cinnamon.
- ✓ For a New Year's watch party or a girls' night: the Bridgerton inspired box, with lace gloves, trivia and a word search. Inspired by the style of the series, not affiliated with Netflix or Bridgerton.
- ✓ For someone whose taste you do not know: a gift card, or the Monthly Tea Blossom Club so a new tea keeps arriving after the decorations come down.
Good to know
- ✓ Every box ships from Cibolo, Texas.
- ✓ Loose leaf tea in sachets, so no infuser and no mess. Just add hot water.
- ✓ Christmas Cranberry and Peppermint are caffeine free, so they still pour after dinner.
- ✓ Add your message at checkout and I will put it on a note or a card inside the gift box.
- ✓ Orders ship within two days and usually arrive within seven days of the order date.
Autumn blends are still on the fall collection shelf, single blends live in the tea shop, and a team or client list is easier to handle from corporate tea gifts. The holiday tea and gift page keeps the shipping and bulk answers in one place.
Not every December is a bright one. If you are sending to someone who is grieving or recovering this year, Healing Moments in Sympathy and Get Well Soon are packed without any holiday wording, and my Christmas story is where I wrote about why.
Pick the one that fits the person on your list, and I will pack the rest.
Questions people ask
What is a good tea gift for Christmas?
Send Simple Pleasures for the tea lover on your list, the Mini box for a teacher or a coworker, and the Mini Teapot Sampler for a gift exchange or a stocking. Each one holds loose leaf sachets and something to keep, so it is a gift and not just a drink.
Do these holiday tea gifts include a cup?
Yes, most of them do. Simple Pleasures comes with a teacup and saucer or a tea time journal, the Mini box includes a mini teacup and saucer, and the Party Kit for 8 sets place settings for eight. Single tea boxes hold sachets only, so pair one with the Tea Cup and Saucer Gift Set.
Are any of the holiday teas caffeine free?
Christmas Cranberry and Peppermint are herbal blends with no caffeine, so they work for an evening pot or for children at the table. Fireball, Apple Pie, Chai, Mint Chocolate and Grandma's Candy are black teas and do carry caffeine.
Will my order arrive in time for Christmas?
Orders ship within two days of being placed and usually arrive within seven days of the order date. If you are ordering late in December, message me first and I will tell you honestly whether it will make it.
