The ultimate Caribou Coffee gift guide

Published

‘Tis the season to shop – and sip! The holidays are here and if you’re anything like us, you’re making a list and checking it twice, ready to show your friends and family some love with gifts they’ll adore. We may be biased, but nothing spreads wonder and joy like a great cup of coffee, made with care by a BOUrista or at home.  

All that shopping can be stressful, though, especially if you have hard-to-shop-for folks on your list this year. (Hello, dad?) We’ve compiled a handy gift guide packed with our go-to ideas for giving if you’re looking for holiday gift inspiration…or a few ideas for your own wishlist. We won’t tell if you keep some of these for yourself; coffee is the perfect present, after all. 

Drinkware 

Gift it to: your favorite coworker, your carpool buddy, your friend that’s always on the go

Take the cheer to go with tumblers and mugs all dressed up in their festive finest. We especially love the flask mugs for a little pour of holiday spirits. Pro tip: Tuck a gift card inside for maximum merriment. 

Gift Sets 

The perfect gift for: your friend who never goes a day without a trip through the drive-thru

Your pal can’t live without their daily Caribou Coffee fix. They’ve got the app locked and loaded with their favorite drinks and locations and never fail to show up without an iced coffee in hand. Expertly curated gift sets bring the best of the ‘Bou to you and your loved ones. We’ve packed these exclusive bundles with Caribou Coffee® mugs, merch and more.

Easy does it! Keep the coffee coming with a gifted subscription for their favorite beans so they don’t have to stress when they’re running low. They’ll think of you each time they unbox and brew these flavorful hand-roasted beans and K-Cups® Pods. 

Apparel

Perfect for: your babysitter, your brother, an impulse purchase at checkout

Walking in a winter wonderland just got so much cooler. (Or is it warmer?) Caribou-branded beanies and hoodies will warm them up inside and out, giving new meaning to the warm fuzzies. 

Beans
