One of the parenting surprises that sneaks up on you (and your budget) is the sheer number of presents or special crafts you now have to come up with.
And I’m not even talking about ones for your kid.
No, I’m talking about all the new holidays you now celebrate —Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Grandparent’s Day, Baby Shower Day, National Donut Day (first Friday in June; you’re welcome).
Buying presents for all the adults in your life can get overwhelming. Trying to keep gifts “fresh” year after year can become a last minute frenzy of Pinterest, glue, glitter, and handprints.
But I will let you in on a little secret: there is one thing most parents, grandparents, and parents-to-be all have in common.
Coffee.

Brewing Up Some Happiness
Drinking coffee is waaaay more than just drinking coffee.
- It’s the cuppa that gets you through the morning crazies and out the door.
- It is the hot mug that motivates you to make it until naptime.
- It’s the chilled decaf that greets you on the back porch after the kids have gone to bed.
- It is the smell that fills the house with deep calm breaths.
When you give coffee gifts, you are really giving warm smiles and endurance to those who need it most.
