    If you’re looking to buy a gift for a coffee lover, you could RISE to give them a coffee subscription from RISE!  And if you’re looking for a gift of coffee and something else, they can help you there, too!

    A RISE Coffee subscription box gives them the chance to try different coffees, and you can choose the type of coffee they receive and how many months you give for – and you can just do a one-off purchase too on the RISE Coffee Box Subsription.

    How about a Rise Coffee Gift Box subscription? 
    How about a Rise Coffee Gift Box subscription?

    The recipient recives your chosen quantity of coffee, key facts on the roasters, beans and farmers – and tasting notes and brew tips, so this is a lovely way to find out more about coffee.  And there’s a free treat from one of RISE’s food and drink partners, too.

    There's a Coffee and Chocolate Lover Gift

    You could also give them a RISE gift – a Coffee and Chocolate Lover Gift which has freshly roasted, premium speciality coffee, and Montezuma’s chocolate treats.  It includes brew guides and tasting notes, as well.


    The Coffee Starter Kit Gift Box gives you everything you need to start enjoying coffee!

    There’s also a Coffee Starter Kit Gift Box, which includes one 250g bag of freshly roasted speciality coffee, a 350ml (3 cup) black cafetiere, a ‘how to make the perfect cafetiere’ brew guide, and tasting notes so that you can learn more about the coffee.  This is a very good idea – one of the problems when you want to start enjoying coffee is how to make it in a cafetiere, so it’s good to see that RISE have created a box with everything you need to get you going!

     There's also a Coffee and Beauty Gift Box

    The Coffee and Beauty Gift Box includes freshly roasted coffee, a citrus blend face scrub, a wax candle from Upcircle, tasting notes and stories behind the coffee and roaster, and a beauty wellness recipe. 

    Not only that but RISE coffee is friendy too – 1% of all sales goes to its Friendly Coffee Fund.  This supports the coffee farming community in Uganda and it helps pay for children to go to school.   So far, this has funded 2,850 days in school so far!

    If you've got a friend or family member who loves trying different crafts, and who cares about nature as well, then you'll love hearing about this great kit from Craftiosity.

    They produce amazing craft kits and a lot of them are around the theme of nature.  They cover all different sorts of crafts, actually, but this one particularly caught my eye and I thought it might be of interest.  

    It's a Woven Bird Feeder Craft Kit!  The kit has everything you need to create your bird feeder, including: 

    - Natural Raffia
    - Ball of White Twine
    - Ball of Yellow Twine
    - Plastic Yarn Needle
    - Bag of Mixed Wild Bird Seed

    There are step-by-step photos instructions and if you prefer to learn by watching, there's an online video tutorial as well!

    Make your own Woven Bird Feeder with this craft kit!

    One of the lovely things about this gift is that once you've made your feeder, you can hang it up in the garden and watch the birds tucking in, because it comes with mixed wild bird seed already so you don't have to go off to buy some!  You can watch the birds tucking in - well, they need to find it first and realise it's there - and enjoy a cup of tea.

    The kits have everything you need to make your feeder

    Craftiosity point out that their craft kits can contain sharp objects and should only be bought by people over the age of 18. 

    They have lots of different sorts of craft kits - you can get a subscription and go on a mini-craft adventure!   And you can also buy them from their online shop.
