Buying gifts for guys is so hard. Buying gifts for Paul used to be impossible. But I have had one go-to for the past few years. Coffee. Anniversary? Coffee. Birthday? Coffee. Christmas? Coffee. Father's Day? Coffee.
And so, I thought I'd pass on a recommendation...
Coffee! More specifically, a coffee subscription!
I got connected with Pony Brand Coffee through Jolby & Friends who did the GTWB design. They were like "hey, Elise, you share a lot of photos on Instagram of coffee, I wonder if you'd want to get in touch with Pony, one of our other clients?"
I took one look at the website (which is beautiful!) and thought, YES! (I also thought, Paul will be very happy that my "connections" are finally paying off.)
I love how Pony does their subscription service. First you can request a sampler set which is four ounces of four different types of beans/roasts to see what sort of flavor profile you prefer. Then, once you've tested and found what you like, you can specify that flavor when you sign up for a subscription.
It's a perfect gift for someone who is just getting into coffee or for someone who knows what they like but are interested in trying new varietals. We've been getting the Sweet & Juicy flavor for the past three months and love it.
AND, given that it's Memorial Day I wanted to mention that I think this would be the perfect present for someone who is deployed. I wish I had known about coffee subscriptions when Paul was in Afghanistan and Spain. He was just getting obsessed with good coffee then and this (getting a monthly delivery of something exciting) would have been a great way to keep the time moving right along. I asked Pony if they deliver to APO addresses and they do (but sadly, not international yet).
Can't get enough coffee!? See how we use the Chemex here and check out our cold brew coffee method here!
please note : I was not paid to write this post, but the Pony guys are becoming friends and I wanted to support them and share a brand we love.
