Spice up your tea-drinking friend’s life with Hot Cinnamon Spice tea. The smell of this blend is so wonderful and the taste is robust and “cinnamony”. I discovered this tea on my honeymoon while staying at a cozy, romantic inn called The Clifton Inn in Virginia. Drinking a cup of this tea instantly brings me back to the warmth of the inn’s library and the special time I had there with my husband.

A cooking class is a great gift for someone who loves spending time in the kitchen. How about a class in sushi making from Sur La Table? What about a 3 hour course in basic knife skills at the Degustibus Cooking School in NYC? Or how about hiring a personal chef to provide some personal instruction in your friend’s home tailored to their specific interests?

Wine Tasting Party or Tour
If your area has some good local wineries, schedule a tour and tasting for a fun outing with your friend or family member. No wineries available? With the help of your local wine shop or the internet, select about 4-5 wines and host a wine party for a small group of close friends.
