Coffee Valentine Wishes

Be Mine? At least for a blog's worth of this Valentine's week?

Great! This Sunday, of course, is the big day. Who's on your "Be Mine" list? A spouse, lover, friend or child? This is the perfect time to express appreciation and gratitude for those special people in your life.

I want send out a great big Valentine's Day hug to all our local Cambridge and Vermont customers! Thanks to everyone who met us at the Pie for Breakfast fundraiser over at Cambridge Elementary last month. Thanks to you folks who stop by to get a daily cup of coffee on your way to work or to ski at the mountain. And thanks to all of you who order beans on a regular basis, coffee for your meetings, or who just come in to buy all the local goodies. And of course a big thank you to all the local artists and business owners who stock Brown and Jenkins with the delicious sweets, treats and lovely crafts that we sell.

And I also want to send a special long distance Valentine to all of our distant customers. Whether you are on the other end of the Green Mountains in Quebec, in sunny St. Thomas or down in Texas- thank you! I love your comments, questions and great ideas.

Here are some last minute gift ideas if you are still looking for a way to express Valentine's Day thanks to lovers, teachers, family and friends.

Gourmet Coffee Gifts for Valentine's Day

Good Morning Coffee Lovers.


'Tis the season to talk about love isn't it? Whether you have a burning passion this Valentine's Day, or an enduring love for someone special, this holiday comes down to expressing your feelings in a tangible way.


For me, coffee is about a feeling too. Images that capture the essence of coffee gifts transmit a feeling of passion. From a grinder and a bag of beans for your child away at college to one of the more amorously decked out Valentine Coffee Gift Baskets, I can't think of a better message of love than great gourmet coffee.


Here are some of my favorite Valentine's Day Coffee Gift ideas:
