This post contains advertising for EILLES KAFFEE A gift basket for Christmas is always a suitable idea. Especially if you make one for coffee lovers yourself using coffee syrup and stamped kitchen towels. With my instructions I will show you how you can easily make my Christmas gift basket.

In this blog post I will not only explain how you can put together a gift basket for friends or family, but will also give you a recipe for coffee syrup and a DIY for stamped kitchen towels. I have this idea with my long-term partner EILLES COFFEE* implemented, which of course should not be missing in this Christmas gift basket for coffee lovers! The new powerful filter coffee from EILLES KAFFEE was also a must.

This will make your gift basket a highlight

The run-up to Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, don’t you think? However, it can also be stressful. That’s why I’ve brought you a simple but delicious idea for a Christmas gift basket today, which will definitely be a highlight among your Christmas presents. EILLES COFFEE is the perfect complement for this. My gift basket included a lot of themed products that you could use for a relaxing winter day: candles, coffee, coffee cups, homemade Christmas coffee syrup and DIY kitchen towels. For the last two ideas I will show you the instructions here. Of course, you can also give them away without the Christmas gift basket, but this will round off your gift wonderfully.

Make your own coffee syrup

Make your own Christmas gift basket with coffee syrup and stamped kitchen towels

1

For the coffee syrup, freshly brew the espresso. Then pour it into a pot and place it on the stove.

2

Then add the sugar, cinnamon, gingerbread spice, orange zest and ground vanilla.

3

Bring the syrup to the boil until the sugar has completely dissolved. Then remove from the heat, strain out any pieces and let cool.

4

Pour the finished coffee syrup into the bottle through a funnel and close it tightly with the screw cap. The bottle can be decorated with a bow using a decorative ribbon.

5

The coffee motifs are stamped onto the white kitchen towel using the textile ink and the stamp.

6

Allow the stamp ink to dry and fix it according to the instructions on the textile ink package (e.g. with an iron). The cloth can then be washed.

7

Tie a decorative ribbon around the kitchen towel and tie a bow.

8

Line the basket with some wrapping paper. Alternatively, it also works with tissue paper, but you’ll need more of it.

Place a star chain of lights around the products and hide the battery compartment under the wrapping paper.

Homemade coffee syrup in a gift basket

As you can see, it’s really not difficult to fill a Christmas gift basket with the new Kraftvoll filter coffee from EILLES KAFFEE. By the way, coffee syrup can be used in many different ways. It gives coffee, cocktails, desserts and baked goods a special touch. Whether in a latte macchiato, an espresso martini or drizzled over ice cream, it always tastes delicious. Coffee syrup really goes well with many recipes and refines them very well! And of course with my Christmas ingredients it fits perfectly into the Christmas season. But you can also prepare it without these spices for a more neutral version.

EILLES COFFEE – 150 years of highest roasting expertise

Of course, EILLES COFFEE not only fits in with my Christmas DIYs, but also perfectly in the run-up to Christmas. Because who doesn’t like to enjoy a fragrant Advent coffee with cookies and stollen?

EILLES COFFEE RASTING MASTER espresso

The coffee beans are roasted longer for espresso than for caffé crema. It’s easy to recognize because the espresso beans are darker in color. Espresso tastes more intense thanks to its fine bitter substances and has an invigorating and full-bodied taste. You can find further information here.*

EILLES COFFEE RÖSTMESTER Caffé Crema

The beans for the Caffé Crema are roasted a little lighter, making the taste lighter and more balanced, but still aromatic. In combination with milk, Caffè Crema becomes the perfect treat. You can find further information here.*
