Christmas is just around the corner and I’m counting down the days with my favorite gifts for the creative people in your life. 

Day 6- Gift Ideas for Tea Drinkers 

In the past I have shared the fact that for me tea equals creativity. When I’m writing a post, when I’m crafting, when I need to get my creative juices flowing, it’s vital that I have a cup of tea next to me. I’ve found that quite a few of my creative friends are the same way. There is something about holding a warm cup of tea in your hands, inhaling the aroma and waiting for creative inspiration to strike.

Today I’m sharing 4 gifts that any tea lover would adore receiving as a Christmas gift. Pair them up for the ultimate tea lovers gift. 

Gift Idea 1- IQ Kettle Pure from Breville

My love affair with Breville started when The Hubs and I were getting married. We registered for the Breville Smart Grill and upon receiving it fell in love with how well made it was, how beautiful it looked on our countertop and how it allowed us to make delicious food with ease. Since then we’ve bought a number of other Breville products and have found the same level of quality with each one.

Did you know that different tea is supposed to brew at different water temperatures? It’s true! The Breville IQ Kettle Pure knows the ideal temperature for tea and that different types of tea brew best at different temperatures. Choose from five different variable settings to brew the perfect cup of tea. It has a soft opening lid that slowly releases steam and prevents splashing. The kettle automatically turns off and has a keep warm feature that keeps the heated water at the selected temperature for 20 minutes. That means if you get lost in a creative project your water will still be warm when you finally get around to making that cup of tea!

The Breville IQ Kettle Pure is available at The Hudson Bay Company

Gift Idea 2- Breville Tea Maker

Have you ever wished that you had a butler to make you the perfect cup of tea? Coffee drinkers buy espresso makers and I think every true tea drinker should have the Breville Tea Maker! With a touch of a button this tea maker makes you the perfect cup of tea. The secret is a fully automated magnetic tea basket that lowers into the water once the water reaches the ideal temperature. It then silently cycles in and out of immersion, gently agitates the leaves to precisely infuse your tea. Once the tea is ready, it brings the basket back up so you never risk over-steeping your tea. To get the right taste every time, select from five pre‐programmed tea settings: green, black, white, oolong and herbal teas. A “custom” button allows users the option to select their own unique temperature and steeping time. Tea connoisseurs can also indicate whether they prefer strong, medium or mild tea. It also has a ‘kettle’ mode that allows your Tea Maker to function as a variable temperature kettle.

The Breville Tea Maker is available at The Hudson Bay Company

Gift Idea 3- Denby Monsoon Collection

I’ve been a tea connoisseur for years. I’ve always had my tried and true tea pot and a collection of mugs in my cupboard, but I’ve never had a proper tea set… Until now! The Denby Monsoon collection is filled with great pieces to bring life to your kitchen. The collection allows you to play up what your kitchen pattern says about you. With a variety of different patterns and pieces to select from, turn a drab kitchen into an eclectic masterpiece– Perfect for tea time with friends! 

Denby’s new Monsoon collection, comes in two very distinct styles called Antalya and Cordoba (pictured above), are collections that blend together trendy colours and patterns with traditional style. You can blend together patterns and pieces to make your own unique collection, or go with the more traditional matching styles to keep your collection simpler.

The Denby Monsoon Collection is available at The Hudson Bay Company

Gift Idea 4- The Night Before Christmas Tea Collection from DAVIDsTEA
