13 DIY Coffee Gift Ideas

Every coffee lover needs coasters to pop their mug on, so this could be a great DIY coffee gift. You could create personalised ones with photos on or even use maps of locations that are special to your giftee.

Alternatively, you could try buying some plain cork coasters and getting crafty with paint pens, or if you’re handy with a pair of needles, have a go at crocheting some coasters or knitting them, the possibilities are endless!

Aside from being completely delicious, coffee is also amazing at exfoliating and removing dead skin cells, whilst also being very nourishing for dry skin, all at once! Surprisingly, coffee body scrub is super easy to make at home and Karissa’s Vegan Kitchen have a great recipe that uses just three ingredients, most of which you’ll likely already have in the cupboard!

Once you’ve made your coffee body scrub, pop it in a mason jar, add a ribbon and a personalised label as the perfect finishing touches for this DIY coffee gift.

Making your own candles is a really easy craft to do and all you need are soy wax flakes, dye, fragrance oil, wax adhesive, a candle wick and a container of your choice for this DIY coffee gift.

We love this guide by Simply Stacie for a caramel latte tea cup candle which uses a coffee mug as a container for an extra special touch. The best bit is that you can use whatever cup you want, so you could opt for a personalised mug, a mug that features your giftees favourite TV show or whatever best represents them!

If the person you’re creating a DIY coffee gift for doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth, a BBQ spice rub could be a great idea. For The Love of Cooking have an amazing rub recipe which is the perfect addition to BBQ meats like steaks, pork and ribs. The best part is that it’s super simple to create and uses ingredients you probably already have in the cupboard, so it’s ideal as a last-minute gift.

Want to add a truly personal touch to your DIY coffee gift? Then why not have a go at creating a personalised coffee mug for that someone special? Glued to my Crafts have a great guide for even the less crafty people as it involves Sharpie and scrapbook letter stickers.

Alternatively, if you’re confident in your art skills, you could even try purchasing some ceramic or porcelain paints and having a go at painting your own design on a coffee cup!
