Gifts for Coffee Lovers Under $20

 

There are so many amazing coffee mugs out there. And although your coffee-loving friend or family member might have too many already…what’s one more? 

 

#1 – A Mug from Little Things with Sam 

 

Little Things with Sam is run by Sam (naturally!), who creates unique designs for everything from Disney and Marvel themes to fun, everyday coffee mugs, shirts, and other apparel.

 

One of my favorite pieces from her collection is the 18 oz ceramic camper mug, pictured here, which comes in at just $20. But Sam has plenty of other mug styles under $20, and if you’re looking for something extra fun, her Mystery Mug offer is a must-see!

 

 

#2- Coffee Stickers

 

Stickers are all the rage nowadays it seems. And, honestly, I get it…stickers are fun!

 

You can put them on your laptop, notebook, binder, hard-case cooler, coffee travel mug…the list goes on. 

 

So, why not gift a coffee lover in your life a pack of coffee-themed stickers?

 

I love this Coffee Lover Sticker Pack as well as this pack of 50 Coffee Stickers (pictured here…which I own myself!).  

 

And, if you want more coffee-specific stickers, check out this round-up of some other favorites!

 

 

#3 – Coffee Syrup

 

Yes Cocktail Company has amazing cocktail kits and syrups to craft fun drinks right at home!

 

Their coffee syrup would make the perfect gift for a coffee lover in your life!

 

It features Spearhead Cold Brew and would be great in cocktails, smoothies, or even shakes. 

 

They also offer a number of different drink recipes on their site, like this Sugarhouse Coffee drink that uses the Charred Oak & Maple Cocktail Syrup. 

 

Just print out the Sugarhouse Coffee drink mix on a recipe card and tie it to the cocktail syrup and you’ve got an instant gift for a coffee lover that is under $20 and will be a big hit!

 

 

 

#4 – Coffee-scented candles make for great gifts for coffee lovers under $20!

 

With so many coffee candles on the market, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the options. But if you’re looking for a standout brand, check out Sweet Water Decor. 

 

Their candles are not only made in the USA (specifically Pittsburgh, PA!), but they’re also soy-based and come in a wide variety of styles and scents. One of my personal favorites is their Fresh Coffee scented candle—it smells absolutely amazing and makes the perfect gift for any coffee lover.

 

For even more great options, be sure to check out my post on 11 amazing coffee-scented candles all of which would make fantastic gifts for coffee enthusiasts!

 

 

#5 – A Bag of Coffee

 

I couldn’t create a list like this without including at least one bag of coffee!

 

When it comes to coffee gifts under $20, the options are endless (seriously, you can’t go wrong with a good bag of coffee!). But if I had to recommend one, I’d say go with something from Expedition Roasters. 

 

I absolutely loved the Wonderland Coffee Crumb Cake blend. It had a perfect balance of flavor—not too sweet, not too strong—just the right amount of deliciousness. It’s a flavored coffee that I highly recommend!

 

 

 

#6 – A latte pour-over kit

 

If you are looking for something more unique than a bag of coffee, I suggest Copper Cow Coffee, specifically their latte pour-over kits. 

 

You can read all about their various latte and delicious flavors in my review, including this unique Lavender Latte (pictured).

 

Any of these latte kits would make an excellent gift for a coffee lover in your life and they come in under $20! 

 

There are even tea options too. Thai Iced Tea, Chai Tea Latte, and Matcha Tea Latte are all available too and would make a great gift for any non-coffee drinkers in your life too!

 

 

#7 – Coffee-flavored chocolate bars

 

Is there a better combination than coffee and chocolate? I’m not sure there is honestly, and this K’UL Espresso & Cacao Nibs Dark Chocolate Bar is delicious!

 

K’UL is an amazing company located in Bellingham, WA. Through chocolate, K’UL is changing the world by elevating women, protecting children, and fighting slave labor.

 

Everything used and sourced for their products is done ethically and uses only organic and non-GMO ingredients. Plus it tastes amazing! 

 

And perhaps my favorite thing about K’Ul is they feature the women they work with on the front of their packaging. 

 

 

 

#8 – A coffee journal

 

I am currently using this Coffee Shop Adventures Journal pictured for my coffee-tasting notes. I love the simplicity and feel of this notebook. 

 

This notebook (or one like it) would make an excellent gift for a coffee lover in your life! 

 

Trust me…any coffee lover will love a coffee-centered notebook or journal. And, if you are looking for more coffee journals check out this list of 20 of the best coffee journals!

 

 

 

#9 – Coffee-themed playing cards

 

You can never go wrong with gifting someone a deck of cards. 

 

Everyone loves cards and uses them at some point, plus they make for a perfect stocking stuffer!

 

And, this Bicycle House Blend deck of cards is just what a coffee lover needs!

 

With coffee mugs on the back and brown hues inspired by coffee, it makes for a great gift for coffee lovers and is under $20!

 

 

#10 – And another fun take on playing cards is this Sip-To-Suit card deck about coffee! 

 

A standard deck of cards that also has facts and information all about coffee! The deck includes 

 

• • 2 cheeky Joker cards
  • 1 unit conversion reference card for volume, weight, and temperature
  • 1 introduction/how-to card
  • 18 coffee-making methods cards (each with unique Brew Meters)
  • 18 drink formulas cards
  • 16 educational tips cards

It’s a really fun product that I bet the coffee lover in your life doesn’t have yet!

 

 

 

#11 – A coffee coloring book

 

At first, a coloring book might seem a bit cheesy, but adult coloring books have become incredibly popular, and coloring in general is a fantastic stress reliever for many people. So why not combine a calming activity with a coffee twist?

 

There are plenty of coffee-themed coloring books to choose from, but here are a few of my favorites that make great gifts for coffee lovers under $20.

 

One standout is the Coffee Quotes Coloring Book, which features over 50 coffee-inspired quotes and phrases. It even includes a “test” color page, so you can try out your pens, markers, or crayons to see how they look on the pages before diving in.

 

Or, for a more interactive option, check out my Mommy and Me Coffee Coloring Book—a printable coloring book that’s perfect for parents and kids. It’s filled with fun coffee images and terms, and even includes a definitions list in case you’re curious about a particular coffee reference (I had to get creative with some letters, like X and U!).

 

 

 

 

#12- For the Coffee Enthusiast: Craft Coffee: A Manual

#13 – A Mini Coffee Cup!

 

This is probably one of the cutest things I’ve seen in a long time—Mini Starbucks and Mini Dunkin Donuts cups!

 

While they hold 4 ounces and are technically functional for drinking, these mini cups shine best as decorative pieces. In fact, many Etsy reviews highlight how perfect they are for photo shoots and capturing fun, coffee-inspired moments.

 

 

#14 – A coffee-themed baby board book

 

Baby board books make thoughtful gifts for parents, and these coffee-themed options are a perfect match for the coffee-loving new or soon-to-be parents in your life!

 

Baby Barista, Love You a Latte, and Slothee Wants Coffee offer a playful blend of a parent’s passion for coffee with the joy of reading to their little ones. These books captivate young readers while bringing plenty of smiles to coffee-adoring parents.

 

 

#15 – A milk frother

 

Every coffee enthusiast needs a milk frother, an electric one specifically…because we don’t live in the days of yore anymore. 

 

There are tons of different brands to choose from and to be real with you…they all do the same thing.  

 

I like this electric milk frother specifically, though, because it comes in a variety of color options so you can match anyone’s kitchen or pick their favorite color!

 

It makes an excellent gift for a coffee lover!

 

 

#16 – Coffee earrings

 

If you’re shopping for a female coffee lover, consider gifting a pair of coffee-themed earrings!

 

I especially adore stud-style earrings because they are comfortable for all ear types and add a touch of charm to any outfit. You’ll find some truly delightful coffee-inspired designs on Etsy, including these lovely pieces pictured from one of my favorite shops, Indigo Clay Jewelry. They’re perfect for expressing coffee passion in a chic, playful way!

 

There are all kinds of gifts for coffee lovers under $20, so don’t stress next time you need a gift for someone special in your life!
