I'm horrible at buying gifts! The person in question is around 30, female, likes coffee and I'm not sure what else really. But has a side coffee business selling good quality coffee so doesn't need any. We are teachers. Help! The price is up to £30 (decided by us).

I know it sounds silly because a big part of the personality is coffee related because of the business, but i wouldn’t buy something coffee related unless it was a mug that said #1 teacher! A good book might help, people love to read while they drink coffee :)

I am not sure if they are still sold but those lovely french bistro Apilco coffee cups are lovely

Or one of those proper italian espresso stove top things unless she already has one

I realise I have gone down the coffee route & this is probably rubbish

I always appreciate a nice reed diffuser type thing - not the most interesting thing but lasts for ages & I really like them

Do you know this person really well? A family member ot good friend or less than that? Thinking the above because you can get a more personal gift or something more generic. I would for a close person maybe look into some nice pyjamas or lovely shower/ bath products or something like a book of her interests. If it was a more random aquaintance Baileys and chocolates maybe or a candle,If you look on somewhere like redletter days you can get some real bargains such as 2 for 1 meal deals at lovely restuarants or an escape room experience or bowling and cocktails theres all sorts their for your budget.
