If you’re looking for DIY gift ideas that are both creative and meaningful, this project is perfect—especially for any coffee lover in your life! This is Part II of my two-part series on making personalized, coffee-themed gifts that double as adorable party favors.

A Beautiful Coffee Lover Gift Idea

Once you’ve planted your mini cacti or succulents in coffee mugs (see Part I for the full tutorial), it’s time to take this keepsake gift to the next level. The key to making it extra special? Adding a personalized gift tag to a small bag filled with coffee beans!

These gifts work beautifully as:

• Brunch table place settings – Simply write guests’ names on each card, attach them to the mugs, and place them at their seats.
• Event favors – Perfect for bridal showers, baby showers, or coffee-themed parties.
• Last-minute gifts – Keep a few on hand for birthdays, housewarmings, or any occasion where a small, thoughtful gesture is needed.

Step-by-Step Instructions

2. Fill the Small Tie Bags: Pour coffee beans into each bag. This not only smells amazing but also adds a coffee lover’s favorite touch to the gift.
3. Create the Gift Tags: Use mini notecards to write a personalized message or the recipient’s name. This adds a thoughtful touch and makes the gift even more meaningful.
4. Attach the Gift Tag: Punch a hole in the corner of the card and use ribbon or twine to tie it to the coffee bean bag. Then, place the finished favor next to (or inside) the planted cactus coffee mug.
5. Set the Table (Optional): If using these gifts as table place settings, simply place each customized mug at guests’ seats for a beautiful, personalized touch.
