Does your mom love a freshly-ground cup of coffee or a piping-hot cup of tea? Help her indulge in her favorite hot beverages with a Mothers Day gift basket filled with gourmet and exotic coffee and tea blends!

With the ever-growing popularity of “designer coffee” drinks, Coffee gift baskets make a perfect gift for the mom who would love to enjoy rich and flavorful blends (even better than those found at popular coffee chains) right from home. Before browsing for coffee gift baskets, here are some tips:

- Pod-style coffee machines (such as the Senseo and K-Cup brewers) require special coffee “pods” that are not compatible with regular coffee machines, and vice-versa.

- Does your mom prefer pre-ground coffee, or does she like to grind whole bean coffee for an extra fresh cup?

- Does mom prefer flavored coffee, espresso, or plain varieties – and does she only drink decaf?

You can also opt for coffee gift baskets that come with other yummy coffee-concoctions, including flavored syrups and chocolate-covered espresso beans. There are so many options out there for designing the perfect caffeinated collection just for mom. But what if she’s more likely to take tea time instead?

Tea gift baskets are a trendy, yet traditional, alternative to coffee – and every bit as delicious! From rich, full-bodied black tea blends to spicy chai and refreshing green tea, there’s something that’s sure to please even the most discerning tea lover.

As with coffee, an important consideration for tea gift baskets is whether your mom would prefer loose-leaf tea or tea bags. (If you’re not sure, check her kitchen for a tea ball, bamboo strainer, or a French press, which are common methods for straining loose brewed tea.) Harney & Sons, Teavana, Adagio and Numi the most popular places online to find a wide array of exotic and domestic tea blends and gift baskets for every occasion.
